The Product and Service Code (PSC) B532 encompasses special studies and analyses focused on soil-related research, testing, and characterization. These services include soil sampling, geotechnical investigations, soil composition analysis, environmental fate studies, and specialized laboratory testing of soil samples across various scientific and environmental domains. The work typically involves collecting soil samples, performing elemental and microbial analyses, assessing soil health, and supporting environmental monitoring, conservation, and infrastructure development programs.

Federal Contract Awards under PSC B532 demonstrate a diverse range of soil-related services, with contract values ranging from approximately $4,000 to $10 million. Key awardees include universities (University of Idaho, North Carolina State University), environmental consulting firms (ABR Inc., Geosystems Analysis), and specialized testing laboratories (Ward Laboratories, Benchmark Geotechnical Labs). The U.S. Department of Agriculture, Department of the Interior, Environmental Protection Agency, and Department of Defense are the most frequent funding agencies. Many awards are set aside for small businesses, with total small business set-asides being particularly common. Performance locations span multiple states, including Alaska, New Mexico, Colorado, and Idaho, with some international work in locations like Japan.

Recent Federal Contract Opportunities in this PSC category include a soil sampling project for the Air Force Special Operations Command at Cannon Air Force Base, seeking PFAS soil analysis to a depth of 15 feet, and a soil analysis solicitation from the Agricultural Research Service for analyzing 190 soil samples to determine microbial community composition and nutrient levels. These opportunities typically involve detailed technical requirements, specific sampling protocols, and compliance with environmental testing standards such as EPA Method 1633. The opportunities are predominantly set aside for small businesses and target precise scientific and environmental assessment needs across federal agencies.
