UNSPSC 73181021: Milling services

UNSPSC 73181021 Milling services (Commodity) encompasses the removal and grinding of existing asphalt and concrete pavements across state and local roadway infrastructure—work that state and local governments are actively procuring through competitive bidding for street resurfacing, parking lot rehabilitation, and capacity expansion projects. State and local issuing bodies conducting recent milling solicitations include county departments of transportation and development (Clayton County Georgia, Williamson County Texas, Henry County Georgia), municipal public works departments (City of Fort Myers, City of Buford, City of Huntsville, City of Owensboro), county boards of commissioners (Broward County Florida, White County Georgia, Bryan County Georgia, Floyd County Georgia), and municipal fire and police departments procuring parking lot improvements (Gwinnett County Police precincts). Milling is rarely procured alone; recent opportunities pair it with asphalt overlay, striping, concrete work, and traffic control in integrated roadway rehabilitation packages. Typical scopes specify milling depths (ranging from 0.5 inches to 6 inches), quantities in square yards or tons, and compliance with state department of transportation standard specifications. Cities and counties most frequently bundle milling with full-depth reclamation, resurfacing, or parking lot seal and stripe work rather than issuing standalone milling contracts.

Recent milling activity concentrates in the Southeast, particularly Georgia and Florida, though opportunities appear across Texas, Kentucky, Connecticut, and throughout the upper and lower Southeast. The City of Fort Myers (Florida) issued ITB 26-070 for mill and replace asphalt resurfacing on sixteen streets across two packages totaling approximately 1,060 to 9,082 square yards of milling with responses due August 17, 2026. Williamson County (Texas) issued IFB 26IFB42 for milling and overlay on O'Connor Drive from Morgan Hill to RM 620 (approximately 38,055 square yards of milling at varying depths) with bids due May 12, 2026. Orange County (Florida) posted a large-scale procurement (Y26-182) for comprehensive asphalt milling and resurfacing with an estimated project cost of $125,641,850, encompassing 100,000 to 400,000 square yards of milling at depths from 0.5 to 6 inches, with responses due May 21, 2026. Clayton County (Georgia) ITB #26-51 covered milling and resurfacing of five roads totaling approximately 112,062 square yards of milling with bids due May 29, 2026. Henry County (Georgia) BID 26-40 for resurfacing of thirty county roads included 2-inch asphalt milling across approximately 8.2 miles with bids due July 10, 2026. Activity remains steady through mid-July 2026; milling work typically opens in spring and continues through summer and fall within the asphalt season, with contract completion windows of four to twelve months post-award.
