UNSPSC 70171501: Water quality assessment services

UNSPSC 70171501 Water quality assessment services is a Commodity code capturing laboratory analysis, field testing, and monitoring services that state and local governments procure to ensure compliance with federal and state water quality regulations. State and local water agencies, environmental departments, wastewater treatment facilities, correctional institutions, and parks departments use this code for routine water testing, specialized analytical work, and long-term monitoring programs that feed regulatory reporting and permit compliance. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies spanning water departments, county environmental services divisions, correctional facilities, and utility authorities—primarily in Florida, Georgia, California, Illinois, Connecticut, and Texas.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Orlando soliciting hydrogen sulfide control service at lift stations (IFB IFB260556, September 9, 2026 response date), Hillsborough County requesting a diesel generator system installation at its Valrico Reclaimed Water Facility (IFB IFB2600406, November 18, 2026 response date, estimated $4,728,600 with 5% SBE subcontractor goal), Clackamas County issuing a sealed bid for aeration basin refurbishment at Tri-City Water Resource Recovery Facility (IFB BID 2026-78, November 10, 2026 response date, $3.7 million engineer's estimate), and the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking water testing services at Menard Correctional Center (proposals due September 17, 2026). The City of Phoenix is procuring atmospheric monitoring instruments for hazardous gas detection across water and wastewater facilities (IFB IFB-27-0435, September 4, 2026, five-year term). The code also captures smaller monitoring and analytical work: Sacramento County's Gibson Ranch Park domestic water system maintenance with comprehensive sampling and regulatory compliance services through March 2032, the Town of Sterling, Connecticut, seeking engineering and construction for an iron and manganese treatment system (RFQ proposals due August 28, 2026), and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife contracting for hatchery water sample analysis (IFB P2660009, May 18, 2026 response date, $20,000 three-year maximum, ELAP accreditation required).
