UNSPSC 95111502: Right of way

The conveyed ability to pass over the property that is owned by others

UNSPSC 95111502 Right of way is a Commodity code that captures state and local government acquisition of land rights, easement access, and property interests necessary for infrastructure, utility, and public facility projects. Recent state and local opportunities solicited under this code reflect work centered on clearing, grading, and site preparation within existing easements and rights-of-way corridors — activity that sits at the operational boundary between land acquisition and construction. The Town of Waterford Utility Commission, for example, sought clearing of a 20-foot-wide sanitary sewer easement (IFB 26-013, response due November 12, 2026) involving vegetation removal, soil restoration, and wetland compliance. The City of DeBary, Florida solicited irrigation system improvements and stormwater drainage work within park and roadway corridors where easement and access rights were already held but site preparation and utility integration required contractor execution. Issuing bodies include municipalities, counties, transit and utility authorities, and special-purpose districts — all pursuing infrastructure work that depends on prior land control or easement grants. Work frequently involves environmental permits (wetland compliance, FDOT encroachment permits), traffic and site management, prevailing wage obligations where federally funded, and coordination with multiple utility stakeholders.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (DeBary, Monroe County, Hillsborough County), Georgia (Ware County, Bulloch County, Fulton County), Texas (multiple TxDOT districts), Connecticut (Waterford), and South Carolina (Dorchester County), with heavy representation among county transportation committees, city engineering departments, and utility commissions. Representative recent opportunities include the Town of Waterford Utility Commission's Cross Country Sewer Easement Access Contract One — Phase 2 (IFB 26-013, due November 12, 2026, $1,000-per-day liquidated damages, 150 calendar days), Dorchester County's CTC 2026 Resurfacing Plan (IFB 2027-10, nine centerline miles across 30 roads, 270 calendar days), and Bulloch County's S&S Greenway Phase 3 Project and Josh Hagin Road Paving (IFB FY27-ENGCP-002-1, due November 13, 2026, GDOT prequalification mandatory). Many opportunities carry federal funding (Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, Build America Buy America compliance, Section 3 preferences), require performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value, and structure payment on percentage-complete or unit-price bases with retainage held through project acceptance.
