UNSPSC 70171603: Floodplain management

UNSPSC 70171603 Floodplain management, a Commodity code, encompasses water quality testing, wastewater analysis, environmental monitoring, and facility improvements that state and local governments procure to comply with federal and state environmental regulations and manage water resources. Recent solicitations show purchasing agencies acquiring licensed water testing services, wastewater discharge monitoring, laboratory environmental analysis, SCADA system upgrades for water reclamation facilities, water treatment plant improvements, and specialized consulting services for flood resilience and water loss control programs—work driven by Clean Water Act compliance, NPDES permit requirements, and aging water infrastructure needs.

State departments of corrections, environmental agencies, and water departments are prominent buyers, joined by city water utilities, county environmental departments, and regional water authorities. The Illinois Department of Corrections has posted multiple water-testing solicitations; the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, City of Santa Cruz Water Department, City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, and Broward County Water Resources Department appear as repeat purchasers. Activity concentrates in California, Georgia, Florida, Texas, and Connecticut, with secondary activity across Oregon, Illinois, and other states. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois Department of Corrections seeking a licensed water-testing vendor for Menard Correctional Center (RFQ, due July 17, 2026); the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority requesting qualified consultants to assess capital investment needs for wastewater facilities under the Clean Water State Revolving Fund (RFQ, due July 24, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procuring monthly wastewater analysis and DMR reporting at Mexia State Supported Living Center (ITB, due July 23, 2026 with mandatory site visits July 9–10); and the City of Santa Cruz Water Department issuing an RFQ for environmental services during construction of the Graham Hill Water Treatment Plant Facility Improvements (due May 14, 2026). Geographic spread reflects both coastal and inland water management priorities, with particular concentration in states with stringent water quality regulations or significant treatment infrastructure overhaul cycles.
