UNSPSC 70171601: Water quality management

UNSPSC 70171601 Water quality management (Commodity) covers routine testing, monitoring, and analysis services that state and local governments procure to ensure safe drinking water, wastewater compliance, and environmental protection at treatment facilities, correctional centers, parks, and municipal water systems. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying monthly and quarterly water sample testing, bacteriological and chemical analysis, wastewater discharge monitoring, groundwater quality assessment, and specialized laboratory services including trace organic analysis and phycology identification—work performed both in-house at municipal labs and through contracted third-party laboratories. The issuing bodies span state departments (Illinois Department of Corrections, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Utah Division of Water Quality), counties (Hillsborough County, Orange County, Sacramento County, Clackamas County, Santa Clara County), cities (Fort Worth, Dallas, Atlanta, Santa Cruz, Palm Bay, Casselberry), special water districts (Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, Clackamas Water Environment Services), and regional authorities (Unified Government of Athens-Clarke County), with repeat buyers including the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management and the State of Illinois Department of Corrections.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, Illinois, and Oregon, with recent opportunities including the Illinois Department of Corrections seeking licensed water testing at Menard Correctional Center (due July 17, 2026); the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority requesting Clean Water Needs Survey consulting via RFQ (due July 24, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring wastewater analysis and reporting at Mexia State Supported Living Center (due July 23, 2026); the County of Sacramento seeking three-year laboratory testing services for groundwater quality monitoring (proposals posted May 26, 2026); the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management conducting prequalification for trace organic laboratory services (June 26, 2026); the City of Fort Worth issuing RFQs for chlorine tank inspection (February 16 and March 9, 2026); and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife soliciting water sample analysis for hatchery operations (due May 18, 2026). The code sees steady, distributed activity across municipal, county, and state procurement with no dominant geographic concentration.
