UNSPSC 70131702: Land evaluation

UNSPSC 70131702 Land evaluation (Commodity) encompasses geotechnical and soil investigation services, environmental site assessment work, land surveying, and planning studies that state and local governments use to support infrastructure design, property acquisition, environmental review, and land-use development. Recent state and local solicitations show demand ranging from detailed geotechnical engineering investigations supporting power plant and facility construction, through boundary surveys and easement research for natural resource agencies, to comprehensive land-use planning and feasibility analysis for municipal redevelopment projects.

Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal planning and parks departments, utilities and water authorities, state natural resource agencies, county governments, and special districts such as regional transit authorities and flood control districts. The mix spans major metropolitan areas and mid-size municipalities. Geographically, recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Texas, California, and Arizona, with secondary activity in Connecticut, New Jersey, Colorado, Oregon, New Mexico, and Utah. Representative recent opportunities include Dalton Utilities (Georgia) seeking geotechnical investigation and reporting services for foundation design of a gas generation facility (RFP, June 30, 2026 response date); California Department of Fish and Wildlife procuring statewide boundary surveying, legal descriptions, and GIS development across 749 properties through an RFQ with a $5 million four-year contract ceiling (July 9, 2026 deadline); the City of West Jordan (Utah) requesting land-use and planning studies for civic campus redevelopment through an RFP (July 16, 2026 deadline); and the City of Albuquerque requesting farming operation services that include land evaluation and conservation practices for open-space management (April 16, 2026 deadline). The code also captures municipal revaluation services — such as Glastonbury, Connecticut's comprehensive property revaluation solicitation covering approximately 14,645 parcels — and specialized environmental and site assessment work for municipal and county infrastructure projects across multiple regions.
