UNSPSC 81101533: Restoration architectural service

Architectural services for the design of restoration and conservation projects of old buildings.

UNSPSC 81101533 Restoration architectural service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure site remediation, ecological restoration, and infrastructure rehabilitation services, ranging from dune restoration and stream stabilization to mine closure and reclamation work. Recent solicitations show a sharp focus on environmental remediation rather than traditional architectural design—the code captures on-the-ground construction and engineering services that restore degraded sites to functional or ecological condition. Florida municipalities and Colorado state agencies dominate current activity, with work spanning coastal dune protection, mine feature closure, stream habitat enhancement, landfill remediation, parking structure repair, and stormwater infrastructure retrofit. Representative solicitations include the City of Port Orange's ITB 26-22-CW for City Center Sport Complex Ballfields Restoration (response date November 2, 2026), encompassing excavation, geotextile installation, ballfield reconstruction, and irrigation systems; Escambia County's ITB #PD 25-26.118 for Dune Matrix Enhancement on Pensacola Beach (response date October 27, 2026), covering native vegetation installation, fencing, and debris removal funded by the National Coastal Resiliency Fund; and the City of Casselberry's ITB 2026-1468 for Gee Creek Erosion Control Projects (response date August 25, 2026), addressing post-hurricane slope stabilization and drainage reconstruction at two municipal sites.

Colorado's Division of Reclamation, Mining and Safety issues the majority of recent mine-closure bids under this code—the state has posted numerous solicitations for closure of abandoned hardrock and uranium mine features using grates, polyurethane foam, bulkheads, and revegetation across Montrose, San Miguel, Gunnison, Clear Creek, and other counties, with response dates ranging from June through September 2026 and federal Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements applying statewide. Geographic concentration is heavy in Florida (coastal restoration and sports facility rehabilitation) and Colorado (federal-funded mine remediation). Issuing bodies span state natural resources and reclamation divisions, county water departments and utilities, municipal parks and public works agencies, and coastal authorities. Procurement vehicles are mixed—IFB, ITB, RFP, and RFQ notices—with many Colorado projects subject to federal Build America Buy America and Buy Clean Colorado Act requirements, Davis-Bacon wage floors, and 5% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business preferences where applicable. Several projects carry liquidated damages of $400–$1,609 per day for schedule delays and require performance and payment bonds at 100% of contract value for awards exceeding $150,000. The code shows consistent activity across summer and fall 2026, suggesting ongoing demand for environmental remediation contracting at state and local levels.
