UNSPSC 72153901: Shoring and underpinning work

The preparation and maintenance of the shorings and underpinnings for building sites owned by others

UNSPSC 72153901 Shoring and underpinning work is a Commodity code covering retaining wall and slope stabilization construction procured by state and local agencies, particularly state environmental and parks departments and municipalities addressing post-storm erosion repair and site stabilization. The work encompasses rock gabion walls, articulated concrete block revetments, rip-rap installations with geotextile reinforcement, sheet pile systems, and related soil and slope engineering—typically specified to preserve site aesthetics or manage drainage and erosion in sensitive areas. Recent solicitations show state environmental protection agencies and municipal public works departments posting competitive bids with detailed technical specifications, material-substitution constraints, and references to state bridge and road construction standards.

Florida dominates the recent opportunities, with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Bureau of Design and Construction issuing a retaining wall bid for Madison Blue Spring State Park (IFB BDC05-26-27, bids due October 6, 2026) and Addendum No. 1 issued September 29, 2026 clarifying a rock gabion specification and rejecting precast concrete as an alternative. The City of Casselberry issued ITB 2026-1468 for post-hurricane erosion repair at two municipal locations (PW 2516 Gee Creek Erosion Control Projects), with bids due August 20, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid conference August 4, 2026; the scope included sediment removal, slope revetment reinforcement, concrete flume construction, and drainage reconstruction on engineered 3:1 slopes or sheet pile systems, with an estimated cost of $623,345 and partial NRCS funding. Both Florida procurements required bidder prequalification or current state contractor licensure, performance bonds, and compliance with FDOT and city standards. The recent record shows limited geographic spread across only Florida state and municipal buyers; no opportunities from other states appeared in the source data.
