UNSPSC 77101500: Environmental impact assessment

UNSPSC 77101500 Environmental impact assessment is a Class code covering the full scope of environmental compliance studies, impact analyses, and feasibility evaluations that state and local governments procure to support infrastructure, land use, and natural resource decisions. Recent activity shows state agencies, counties, and municipalities issuing RFPs and RFQs for environmental assessment work ranging from site-specific impact fee studies to broad programmatic environmental reviews. Henry County, Georgia recently solicited an RFP for consulting services to conduct a comprehensive impact fee study for parks, public safety, and transportation improvements, due August 12, 2026, with evaluation criteria heavily weighted toward methodology and technical approach. The Texas Water Development Board issued an RFQ on July 6, 2026, for brackish groundwater production zone analysis across fourteen counties in Central Texas, requiring licensed professional geoscientists and expert-level GIS and hydrogeology experience, with proposals due August 6, 2026. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency requested proposals for an Environmental Impact Statement on the Elk River Landfill expansion, due August 4, 2026, to identify mitigation measures for adverse environmental impacts. Environmental assessment work under this code also encompasses site remediation support, NEPA compliance documentation, HUD environmental review procedures under 24 CFR Part 58, stormwater permit compliance, and feasibility studies for transportation and infrastructure improvements.

Activity clusters in Texas, California, Georgia, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Florida, and Connecticut, with a mix of state environmental agencies, regional water authorities, county planning departments, and city governments issuing work. State environmental or natural resources departments (such as TWDB, MPCA, CDCR) and county planning or public works offices are the primary issuing bodies, often contracting through universities or direct procurement offices. The code sees steady quarterly activity with RFPs and RFQs for environmental compliance documentation, habitat and species assessment, stormwater management studies, and infrastructure feasibility analysis. Environmental assessment consultancies and multidisciplinary engineering firms currently compete for these opportunities, which frequently require professional licensing (geoscience, engineering, environmental science), experience with federal funding compliance, and demonstrated success on prior environmental documentation projects in similar jurisdictions or settings. Incumbent vendors are rarely named in available procurement notices, and set-asides for disadvantaged businesses appear inconsistently across solicitations.
