UNSPSC 72152709: Concrete pumping service

The pumping of concrete and associated substances into structures owned by others

UNSPSC 72152709 Concrete pumping service is a Commodity code that encompasses concrete placement, flatwork installation, and related on-site concrete delivery services that state and local governments procure for infrastructure, facility, and campus projects. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include cities, counties, community colleges, school districts, state departments, and special-purpose water and transit authorities. The code sees activity across multiple regions, with recent opportunities concentrated in Texas, Georgia, Florida, Oregon, Washington, and North Carolina. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg's concrete slab-on-grade and sidewalk installation at De Zavala Park (IRFQ20260002, RFQ, July 22, 2026 response date), Floyd County's Brushy Branch Boat Ramp concrete renovation (PE65700NONST2026000000095, IFB, July 30, 2026 response date), and the City of Fort Worth's PW 2027 Concrete Restoration Contract 3 covering approximately 15,390 square yards of concrete pavement and sidewalk work (IFB 260246, July 16, 2026 response date).

Activity under this code spans routine flatwork—sidewalk removal and replacement, concrete pads for equipment and structures, and driveways—as well as specialized placement such as boat ramp extensions, parking lot rehabilitation, and utility-related concrete work. Projects frequently incorporate site preparation, subgrade stabilization, forming, finishing, and ADA compliance. Many solicitations carry federal funding through programs such as HUD Community Development Block Grants or Clean Water State Revolving Funds, triggering Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, Section 3 employment provisions, and mandatory bonding. Smaller municipalities and school districts typically solicit concrete services through IFB or RFQ for discrete, fixed-scope projects with lump-sum or unit-price contracts; larger jurisdictions and state agencies tend to establish term or on-call contracts for multiple locations. Set-asides and preferences appear in a subset of opportunities, including HUB participation goals in Texas procurement and small-business utilization mandates in cities such as Fort Worth (30% small-business participation goal) and Long Beach. The code does not see continuous high-volume activity from any single issuing body; instead, procurement is distributed across dozens of municipalities and agencies, each executing one or two projects annually.
