UNSPSC 70131500: Land and soil protection

UNSPSC 70131500 Land and soil protection, a Class code, encompasses geotechnical investigation, site remediation, soil testing, and related earth science services that state and local governments procure for infrastructure development, environmental compliance, and site characterization. Recent solicitations show demand for specialized geotechnical engineering (field borings, core sampling, laboratory soil classification and corrosion analysis), contaminated site material removal and remediation, landfill cover soil sourcing and delivery, wetland dike restoration, and preserve area maintenance including mowing, tree removal, and habitat management. Issuing bodies include utilities (Dalton Utilities, Georgia), state water resource departments (California Department of Water Resources), state environmental agencies (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, State of Georgia), county governments (Collier County, Florida; Harris County, Texas), municipalities (City of Dallas, City of Albuquerque), and special-purpose districts (Jacksonville Transportation Authority). State departments and county natural resources or environmental management offices are the most frequent recent buyers under this code.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, California, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, Colorado, and Connecticut. Representative opportunities include Dalton Utilities' geotechnical investigation for the RICE Generation Facility in Whitfield County, Georgia (RFP, June 30, 2026 response deadline), encompassing 24 borings to 100 feet with laboratory testing and seismic hazard analysis; the California Department of Water Resources' structural modifications at Check Structure 17 on the San Luis Canal in Fresno County (sealed bid, July 15, 2026 response deadline, $1,000,000–$1,250,000 estimated cost, 25% SBE goal); Maryland Environmental Service's sourcing and delivery of up to 450,000 cubic yards of cover soil to Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill in Prince George's County (sealed bid, July 15, 2026 response deadline); and the State of Utah Wildlife Resources' wetland dike maintenance and slope stabilization in Penrose (IFB BD26-74, June 11, 2026 response deadline, completion by June 30, 2026). Collier County, Florida's Preserve Area Maintenance contract and Harris County Flood Control District's turf establishment and mowing services (ITB, federally funded, March 2, 2026 response deadline) indicate sustained demand for ongoing vegetation and land management across multiple jurisdictions.
