UNSPSC 72141603: Railroad and railway roadbed construction service

The building of railroad lines and railway beds owned by others

UNSPSC 72141603 Railroad and railway roadbed construction service is a Commodity code covering removal and replacement of railroad crossing infrastructure, track bed preparation, rail component installation, and related rail corridor work as procured by state and local transportation agencies. Recent solicitations under this code show state and county transportation authorities and special-purpose districts buying track bed rehabilitation, precast concrete crossing replacement, utility coordination within rail rights-of-way, and ancillary infrastructure work supporting rail corridors and rail-served facilities.

State and local activity under the code concentrates among county boards of commissioners, city transportation departments, and rail-serving special authorities. The Camden County Board of Commissioners in Georgia issued an RFP on May 7, 2026 for railroad crossing replacement at Naval Base Kings Bay (two 81-foot precast concrete crossings on USS Samuel Houston Road), requiring disassembly of existing rail components, track bed excavation and preparation, installation of new cross ties, tie plates, anchors, spikes, and ballast, and installation of new Omega Precast Concrete Crossings or approved equivalents in compliance with Georgia Department of Transportation Standard Specifications, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and work completion required by August 31, 2026. A local vendor preference policy permits qualified Camden County vendors within 5 percent of the lowest bid to match that price if the lowest bidder is not a local vendor. A second representative solicitation appears as a pre-advertisement notice from the City of Atlanta Department of Transportation (posted February 19, 2026, deadline March 27, 2026) for pedestrian and roadway improvements along Cleveland Avenue—a 1.42-mile multi-location project spanning seven locations that includes crosswalk replacement and minor intersection geometry modifications but is primarily coded to pedestrian signal upgrades and ADA compliance rather than railroad roadbed work. The source does not support distinct concentration of railroad-specific roadbed solicitations; the code shows limited recent state and local activity tied directly to railroad infrastructure rehabilitation, with the Naval Base Kings Bay crossing replacement representing the clearest match to nominal code scope among the opportunities provided.
