UNSPSC 77101504: Environmental Impact Assessment EIA services

UNSPSC 77101504 Environmental Impact Assessment EIA services is a Commodity code capturing design and planning consulting services for environmental compliance, natural resource management, and infrastructure feasibility studies that state and local governments procure to meet regulatory obligations, plan capital projects, and assess environmental conditions. The work being solicited spans stormwater engineering and water quality management, shoreline adaptation and sea level rise planning, environmental monitoring and watershed protection, brownfield site inventory, air quality permitting and toxics analysis, and forest carbon offset feasibility—reflecting an active market where jurisdictions combine environmental compliance obligations with resilience and sustainability planning to secure federal and state grant funding. Issuing bodies include county departments (Santa Clara County Office of Sustainability and Resilience, Forsyth County, Tuolumne County, Henry County, Bernalillo County), metropolitan planning organizations (Chatham County-Savannah MPC for the Coastal Region MPO), state agencies (Washington DNR, Texas TWDB, Maryland Energy Administration, Georgia DOT), and cities (Fort Myers, Mableton, Union City), with Tuolumne County appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple stormwater, water quality, and environmental compliance procurements. Recent representative opportunities include Santa Clara County's Subregional Shoreline Adaptation Plan (RFP, due November 6, 2026) addressing sea level rise across six Bay Area municipalities, Forsyth County's Environmental Monitoring and Watershed Support Services (RFP, due September 24, 2026) for a five-year five-task environmental compliance and monitoring engagement, and Tuolumne County Air Pollution Control District's Professional Air Pollution Control Support Services (RFP, due September 23, 2026) for ongoing permit processing and technical compliance work.

Activity concentrates in California (Tuolumne County, Santa Clara County, Sacramento County) and Georgia (Forsyth County, Henry County, Chatham County, Mableton, Union City), with secondary activity in Texas (TWDB), Florida (St. Johns River Water Management District), Colorado (Boulder County), Washington (DNR), Connecticut (Stonington), and Maryland. Contract values where disclosed range from $77,000 to $5 million, with multi-year terms (three to five years) common. Evaluation typically weights qualifications and relevant experience (20–40 points), technical approach and methodology (25–35 points), and cost reasonableness (5–40 points), with some procurements structured as on-call vehicles (Sacramento County airports, CORE MPO, GDOT environmental support). Set-asides and preferences include MBE participation goals (Maryland Energy Administration 15% MBE benchmark), DBE benchmarks (Henry County 5 points), local vendor preferences (Tuolumne County fuel delivery RFP), and federal compliance requirements (Davis-Bacon wage rates, Buy America, NEVI standards for FTA-funded work). Recent amendments and addenda have clarified environmental qualifications and expanded scope on pending opportunities (Fort Myers Downtown Pedestrian Mall feasibility study addendum, GDOT environmental support RFQ area class prequalification requirements, Maryland Energy Administration MBE framework).
