UNSPSC 77101501: Risk or hazard assessment

UNSPSC 77101501 Risk or hazard assessment, a Commodity code, encompasses environmental and infrastructure hazard evaluation services that state and local governments procure to identify, document, and mitigate risks across diverse asset classes and operational environments. Recent solicitations reveal work spanning stormwater system vulnerability assessments, sea level rise adaptation planning, hazardous materials surveys preceding demolition, drought impact studies, facility condition assessments, and hazard mitigation planning aligned with FEMA requirements. The issuing bodies span state departments (California Department of General Services, Texas Water Development Board, Georgia Department of Transportation), county governments (Santa Clara County, Forsyth County, Camden County), cities (Casselberry, Fort Myers, Peoria, Detroit, Yuma), special-purpose districts (Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority), and regional planning organizations (Coastal Region Metropolitan Planning Organization). The mix includes a clear presence of water and stormwater service providers responding to resilience priorities, environmental consultancies supporting regulatory compliance, and facilities management firms conducting building condition and hazard evaluations.

Recent opportunities concentrate in California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Colorado, reflecting infrastructure age, climate adaptation urgency, and regulatory compliance drivers in those states. Representative current solicitations include Santa Clara County's Office of Sustainability and Resilience soliciting a contractor team to develop a Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan addressing sea level rise risk assessment across unincorporated areas and six Bay Area cities (RFP due November 6, 2026); the Metropolitan Water District of Salt Lake & Sandy requesting qualifications for hazard mitigation plan updates assessing earthquake, landslide, wildfire, and security threats to water infrastructure (SOQ due November 3, 2026); the California Department of General Services issuing an IFB for pre-demolition hazardous materials survey at the HSR26-30 project site identifying asbestos, lead-based paint, PCBs, and regulated substances (IFB due October 14, 2026); and the Georgia Department of Transportation soliciting environmental support services on-call contracts spanning NEPA documentation, air quality and noise analysis, cultural resources, and ecological surveys across multiple corridors (RFQ due August 17, 2026). Work is typically assigned through individual task orders or work authorizations rather than fixed scopes, with contract terms ranging from three to five years and optional renewal periods common.
