UNSPSC 70131707: Soil fertility analysis

UNSPSC 70131707 Soil fertility analysis is a Commodity code under which state and local governments solicit soil testing, laboratory analysis, and nutrient reporting services for land management, agricultural operations, and environmental site characterization. The Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) Land Management Soil Sampling procurement exemplifies the core scope: soil sample collection following standardized protocols across thousands of acres of state-managed property, with laboratory analysis reporting pH, phosphorus, and potassium levels to support farm lease and land stewardship decisions. State and local issuing bodies posting under this code include state natural resources agencies, county port authorities, city utilities and public works departments, universities, and special-purpose districts. Recent activity spans solicitations for soil sampling on agricultural lease properties statewide (IDNR), geotechnical testing for utilities infrastructure projects (City of Augusta, Georgia RFP 26-176 for materials testing including soil analysis and in-place density testing), and mitigation land management at environmental sites (Lee County Port Authority for exotic species treatment and soil assessments at Airport Mitigation Park). These procurements indicate demand for soils expertise tied to both agricultural stewardship and environmental remediation rather than abstract fertility consulting alone.

Recent soil-related procurements cluster in the Southeast and Midwest, with the most active jurisdiction being the Illinois Department of Natural Resources (IDNR Land Management Soil Sampling, IFB due October 21, 2026, spanning five geographic regions and approximately 10,000–11,000 acres across state parks and wildlife areas). City of Augusta, Georgia's geotechnical testing services RFP (due September 11, 2026) requests soil classification, Modified Proctor tests, and in-place density testing estimated at 25 soil classification tests and 650 density tests over five years for municipal utilities projects. Lee County Port Authority (Florida) issued a sealed IFB for mitigation land management on September 16, 2026 requiring FDACS-licensed pesticide applicators to achieve zero percent exotic species coverage across approximately 7,000 acres through manual removal and herbicide application compliant with EPA and Florida regulations. City of Dallas requested Statements of Qualifications for construction materials testing (SOQ due August 28, 2026) covering soil testing alongside concrete and asphalt materials for water, wastewater, parks, and transportation infrastructure. Geographic concentration reflects Southeastern and Midwestern municipal and state demand; no recent opportunities evidence significant activity outside these regions in the posted dataset.
