UNSPSC 95121633: Culvert

A device used to channel water

UNSPSC 95121633 Culvert, a Commodity code, describes precast, cast-in-place, or corrugated metal drainage structures that state and local governments procure for stormwater conveyance, road and bridge construction, and utility infrastructure projects. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies are purchasing culverts as components of larger roadway, drainage system, and bridge work—not as standalone procurement line items, which reflects how the category actually functions in practice: culverts appear embedded within comprehensive infrastructure projects rather than as discrete commodity buys.

Issuing bodies across the recent activity include city public works departments (Gallup, Orlando, Waco, Santa Cruz, Fort Worth), county engineering divisions (Bernalillo, Hillsborough, Escambia, Indian River), state departments of transportation (Georgia, Texas), transit or special-purpose district authorities (Orange County Florida), and municipal utility operators (Dallas Water Utilities). Activity is geographically dispersed across the South, Southwest, and mid-Atlantic, with notable recent procurement volume in Florida (Orange County, Hillsborough County, Escambia County), Texas (City of Waco, Dallas Water Utilities, City of Midland), New Mexico (City of Gallup, Bernalillo County), and Georgia (Georgia Department of Transportation). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Gallup's whole-block reconstruction of Ciniza Drive (ITB 2701, due July 28, 2026), which specifies construction of a concrete box culvert as part of a $1.3 million public works project subject to New Mexico prevailing wage and licensing requirements; Bernalillo County's Tablazon Road relocation (RFB 0227DC, due August 19, 2026), incorporating drainage structures into a road realignment; and Orange County Florida's Horizon West Trail Phase 1A (IFB Y26-754, due August 13, 2026, estimated $5.65 million), which includes approximately 400 linear feet of 12-inch water main replacement and a prestressed concrete pile-supported boardwalk crossing an existing box culvert. Culvert work under this code is typically bundled with earthwork, paving, utility coordination, and drainage system installation rather than procured separately, making responsive bidding dependent on general contractor capability across civil infrastructure disciplines.
