UNSPSC 73111500: Wood processing

UNSPSC 73111500 Wood processing is a Class code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity in the dataset. The code nominally covers wood processing, yet the recent opportunities posted under this classification involve asphalt paving, milling and resurfacing, concrete work, parking lot improvements, and traffic signal installation—activities unrelated to timber or wood material processing. The mismatch indicates either a categorization error in how opportunities were tagged or that this code sees little active procurement attention in its intended scope.

Recent solicitations attributed to this code span cities, counties, and special districts across Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Illinois, Kentucky, and Texas, with no coherent wood-processing theme. Representative examples include the City of Fort Myers (RFP 26-097 for asphalt roadway resurfacing and rehabilitation, due November 2, 2026), Broward County (IFB for Royal Palm Boulevard roadway widening and resurfacing, due September 14, 2026), and Orange County, Florida (ITB Y26-182 for asphalt milling and resurfacing at an estimated $125,641,850, due May 21, 2026). The volume and dollar values of recent postings under this code are substantial, but they reflect pavement and infrastructure work rather than the wood-product processing the code nominally describes. Bidders should verify the actual scope of work before pursuing opportunities tagged to this code, as the nominal classification does not reliably predict the services or products being procured.
