UNSPSC 70171504: Water resources mapping services

UNSPSC 70171504 Water resources mapping services, a Commodity code, encompasses cloud-based aquatic and water quality data processing, laboratory testing, SCADA system upgrades, and specialized environmental monitoring services that state and local water authorities, correctional facilities, environmental agencies, and municipalities procure to support regulatory compliance, infrastructure operations, and water resource planning. Recent solicitations show state and local issuing bodies acquiring automated aquatic vegetation mapping platforms, wastewater analysis and monitoring services, water loss control program design, laboratory testing for groundwater and surface water quality, environmental services during construction, and SCADA system hardware and integration across water treatment facilities, reclamation centers, and utility infrastructure.

State water agencies (Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments (Sarasota County, Sacramento County, Hillsborough County, Orange County Florida, Clackamas County Oregon), municipal water departments (Santa Cruz, Palm Bay, Casselberry, Fort Worth, Dallas, City of Atlanta watershed operations), and regional utility commissions (Fort Valley, Cumming Georgia) are the primary repeat buyers under this code across recent postings. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, California, and Texas, with active procurement extending across the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), Upper Midwest (Illinois), and mid-Atlantic regions. Representative solicitations include the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission single-source procurement (SS16450, July 31, 2026 response deadline) for three-year subscriptions to BioBase LLC's EcoSound cloud platform for automated aquatic sonar data processing and vegetation mapping at $350,000 estimated value; the Sacramento County Department of Waste Management three-year laboratory testing services RFP (2026GEN0045, May 26, 2026 deadline) for comprehensive EPA-compliant groundwater and surface water analysis across landfill monitoring locations; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's wastewater analysis and reporting IFB (HHS0017407, July 23, 2026 deadline) for monthly testing, DMR submissions, and regulatory reporting at Mexia State Supported Living Center with $48,600 annual historical value; and the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority's Clean Water Needs Survey consulting RFP (PE92800RFQC2027000000014, July 24, 2026 deadline) assessing wastewater collection and treatment facility capital investment requirements for state revolving fund eligibility. The code shows sustained activity in water infrastructure compliance and operational monitoring with pricing ranging from specialized single-source equipment subscriptions under $400,000 to multi-year laboratory and professional services contracts, reflecting government reliance on external expertise for complex water quality assurance and resource assessment functions.
