UNSPSC 72151901: Foundation building service

The pouring of structural foundations on property owned by others

UNSPSC 72151901 Foundation building service is a Commodity code encompassing concrete repair, structural stabilization, masonry and waterproofing restoration, and restoration services on existing buildings and foundations. Recent state and local solicitations show substantial overlap with general building renovation, repair, and infrastructure work—the code captures foundational, load-bearing, and envelope repairs across institutional and government properties, though issuers occasionally tag broader facility improvement work under this classification. Community colleges, state departments, and municipalities represent the primary buyer base, with Washington State (through the Department of Enterprise Services, college systems, and corrections) and Texas agencies (military and correctional) filing the most recent activity. Community colleges in Washington—Skagit Valley, Spokane Falls, Yakima Valley, Bellevue, Lower Columbia, and Whatcom—have posted multiple bids for HVAC replacement, roof repair, sewer and potable-water line replacement, classroom upgrades, and building renovations. Washington State's Department of Enterprise Services, Department of Corrections, Department of Social and Health Services, and Department of Children, Youth and Families have solicited bids on generator replacement, fire alarm systems, lighting conversion, sidewalk and storm drain repair, and building envelope work. Texas Military Department has posted foundation repair and facility expansion projects at Camp Swift and Camp Mabry.

Representative recent opportunities include Skagit Valley College soliciting bids for Old Main sewer replacement (Solicitation 2026111G11, due July 23, 2026), Lower Columbia College requesting bids on renovation and minor improvements spanning five campus buildings including mechanical, electrical, and roofing work with an estimated cost range of $1.2 million to $1.4 million (Solicitation 2026014G11, due June 23, 2026, mandatory pre-bid walkthrough June 4), and Texas Military Department requesting proposals for foundation repairs at Camp Swift Building 232, a 3,550-square-foot barracks with structural repairs, roof work, and civil drainage estimated at $1.3 million (Solicitation TMD26CFMO0044837, due August 11, 2026, mandatory site visits June 30 and July 1). The code also captures monument preservation and maintenance services—the City of Savannah issued a pre-qualification solicitation for monument preservation and maintenance work on historic parks and squares (Solicitation PE62551NONST2026000000231, due August 4, 2026, pre-proposal meeting July 15). Geographic concentration appears strongest in Washington and Texas, with secondary activity in Georgia, North Carolina, Connecticut, California, and Florida. Prevailing wage requirements, apprentice utilization mandates (often 15% of total labor hours in Washington public works), diverse business participation goals, and bonding are standard across the code's recent opportunities.
