UNSPSC 60104402: Rock specimens

UNSPSC 60104402 Rock specimens is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement covers groundwater and geological sampling services, including the collection, handling, and documentation of subsurface materials and water samples from monitor wells. The recent Sarasota County solicitation shows that state and local governments use this code to procure ongoing environmental monitoring and assessment work, where qualified proposers conduct periodic sampling of groundwater monitoring infrastructure, coordinate with environmental agencies, and deliver samples for laboratory analysis. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments and other local environmental or water-management authorities responsible for compliance with state environmental regulations and permit conditions. Proposers typically must hold state professional licensing in engineering or geology, maintain substantial professional liability and general liability insurance, and coordinate work across multiple seasons to meet regulatory sampling schedules.

The code shows recent activity in Florida, with Sarasota County issuing a Request for Professional Services (RPS) on April 14, 2026 for Carlton Water Quality Monitoring—a three-year continuing services agreement to provide quarterly and monthly groundwater sampling at 19 to 23 monitor wells at the Carlton Memorial Reserve Wellfield, with a proposal due date of April 9, 2026. The work requires compliance with Florida Department of Environmental Protection procedures and Southwest Florida Water Management District permit requirements, and the selected proposer must supply all manpower, equipment, and sample coordination while the County handles laboratory work and fees. Prospective bidders must be registered with the Florida Department of Business & Professional Regulation as qualified engineering or geology service providers and must have at least one key team member licensed as a Professional Engineer or Professional Geologist in Florida, with professional liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per claim and workers' compensation and commercial general liability coverage of $1,000,000 per occurrence.
