UNSPSC 70131706: Watershed management

UNSPSC 70131706 Watershed management is a Commodity code that encompasses soil sampling, hydrological assessments, water-system evaluations, site restoration, and invasive-species treatment for natural resource protection and regulatory compliance across state and local jurisdictions. Recent solicitations under this code span soil sampling and laboratory analysis to support agricultural lease management, source water assessments for drinking water protection, land management including exotic vegetation treatment on conservation areas, corrosion control studies for public water systems, and construction of water and wastewater utility infrastructure. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments (Illinois Department of Natural Resources, Minnesota Department of Health, California Department of State Hospitals, Texas General Land Office, Florida Department of Agriculture), utilities and regional authorities (Gainesville Regional Utilities Authority, Lee County Port Authority, Dalton Utilities), counties (Henry County Georgia, Volusia County Florida), and cities (Meriden Connecticut, Augusta Georgia, Bradenton Florida, Dallas Texas, Salem Oregon, Orlando Florida, College Park Georgia, Columbus Georgia). Water-system acquisition and management (such as Gainesville Regional Utilities' Cross Creek systems procurement) and mitigation-driven land management (Lee County Port Authority's exotic vegetation treatment at Airport Mitigation Park) appear as standout recent activity.

Geographic spread spans multiple regions: Illinois, Minnesota, California, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Georgia, and Oregon show recent posting activity. Representative recent opportunities include the Illinois Department of Natural Resources soliciting bids (due October 21, 2026) for soil sampling across approximately 10,000–11,000 acres across five regions statewide following amended timelines for fall 2026 collection; the Minnesota Department of Health requesting proposals (due November 4, 2026, Event ID 2000018731) for eight updated source water assessments covering community water systems in North and Northeast Minnesota; Lee County Port Authority requesting competitive bids (due September 16, 2026) for four separate mitigation land management projects at Airport Mitigation Park totaling approximately 7,000 acres, requiring FDACS-licensed pesticide applicators and zero-percent post-treatment exotic species coverage; and the City of Meriden, Connecticut issuing an Invitation to Bid (due October 6, 2026) for subsurface pressure injection grouting and seepage control at Merimere Dike under EPA funding with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements.
