UNSPSC 72153900: Building site preparation services

The preparation and maintenance of building sites owned by others

UNSPSC 72153900 Building site preparation services, a Class code, covers the demolition, grading, clearing, and surface preparation work that state and local governments contract for ahead of new construction or facility renovation. Recent opportunities show jurisdictions procuring site clearance and utility disconnection at parks (DeBary, Florida irrigation system demolition; City of Amarillo park restroom removal and turf restoration across twenty locations), retail and civic plazas (San Antonio Main Plaza grading and paving with utility upgrades), industrial facilities (Melbourne Airport Embraer warehouse pad clearance), and healthcare campuses (Santa Clara County medical center seismic compliance projects requiring site surveys and pad preparation). The code captures both standalone site work and the site-prep phase embedded in larger design-build and design-bid-build renovation contracts. State agencies and local jurisdictions issuing under this code include city departments of public works and parks, counties, school districts, airport authorities, and special districts; recent issuers span DeBary and Long Beach, California; San Antonio, Texas; Hillsborough County and Orange County, Florida; and Broward County with recurring activity in California's Santa Clara County. Work is geographically distributed across Florida, Texas, California, Colorado, Georgia, and other states, with no single region dominating recent activity.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary's Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (bid posting October 19, 2026, response deadline April 10, 2015—a historical outlier in the dataset); the City of San Antonio's Main Plaza Renovations via competitive sealed proposal (posted October 16, 2026, due December 1, 2026), encompassing site grading, demolition, and paving across plaza renovation; Kemper County, Mississippi's Kemper Springs Volunteer Fire Station sealed-bid procurement (posted October 14, 2026, due October 23, 2026) for design and construction of a new facility; and Broward County's Separated Shared Use Path construction at North Perry Airport (posted September 14, 2026, due October 13, 2026) requiring path development and surface restoration. The Development Authority of Columbus solicited civil site mass grading and pad preparation for Muscogee Technology Park parcels (posted September 30, 2026, due November 13, 2026). Boulder County Parks requested concrete bridge approach construction (posted September 22, 2026, due October 8, 2026) to replace unsustainable crusher-fines surfaces. Multiple opportunities require prevailing wage compliance, bonding (5–10 percent bid bonds, 100 percent performance and payment bonds), general liability insurance in the $1–3 million range, and adherence to environmental and erosion-control specifications.
