UNSPSC 72152707: Retaining wall construction service

The creation and maintenance of concrete retaining wall structures owned by others

UNSPSC 72152707 Retaining wall construction service is a Commodity code covering the removal, repair, and installation of retaining walls and related soil stabilization structures that state and local governments procure to address erosion, grade changes, and site stabilization on public property. Recent solicitations show city and county governments using this code for standalone wall repairs, as components of larger street and infrastructure projects, and as elements within multi-purpose site development and park construction work.

Issuing bodies are predominantly cities and counties across multiple states. Draper City (Utah), Gallup (New Mexico), Dorchester County (South Carolina), and Chamblee (Georgia) all posted recent work under or closely aligned with this code; the Chamblee Nancy Creek trail project, the City of Waco bridge replacement, and multiple street rehabilitation packages from San Antonio demonstrate that retaining wall work often appears as a line item within broader infrastructure contracts rather than standalone procurements. Geographic activity concentrates in the West (Utah, New Mexico, Arizona), Southeast (South Carolina, Georgia, Florida), and Texas, with secondary activity in the Midwest and Northeast. Representative recent opportunities include Draper City's Traverse Ridge Retaining Wall Repair (IFB CIP2613, responses due July 30, 2026) for repair of two walls with labor, materials, and equipment under a 5% bid bond requirement; the City of Waco's Speegleville Bridge Over Middle Bosque Replacement (RFB 2026-023, bids due July 29, 2026, estimated $17.3 million) which encompasses roadway and bridge reconstruction with embedded retaining and stabilization elements; and the Chamblee Nancy Creek trail project (SOQ PE36801NONST2026000000030, due August 11, 2026) including retaining walls as part of a multi-use trail and pedestrian bridge scope. Most recent work emphasizes ADA compliance, erosion control, stormwater management integration, and prevailing wage compliance on public works projects, with performance and payment bonds typically required at 100% of contract value and insurance thresholds ranging from $1 million to $2 million per occurrence depending on project scale.
