UNSPSC 77101600: Environmental planning

UNSPSC 77101600 Environmental planning is a Class code encompassing the work state and local governments buy under it: comprehensive planning services addressing environmental conditions, regulatory compliance, and sustainability outcomes across municipal infrastructure, hazardous-site assessment, water quality, coastal resilience, and landscape management. Recent solicitations show cities, counties, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts engaging consultants for shoreline adaptation planning, stormwater and lakes management design, brownfields inventory and assessment, environmental permitting, waste characterization studies, tree canopy analysis, recycling program planning, and on-call environmental consulting to support airport operations, municipal planning departments, and watershed management initiatives. The issuing-body mix reflects state environmental departments, county development agencies, city planning and sustainability offices, airport authorities, and regional planning organizations—a broad and fragmented procurement base with no dominant repeat buyer evident in the recent-opportunities block.

Geographic spread across recent opportunities spans Florida (Casselberry, New Smyrna Beach, Edgewater, Green Cove Springs, Pensacola), California (Santa Clara County, Orange County, Tuolumne County, Sacramento, Santa Monica), Connecticut (Norwalk, Montville, Shelton), Georgia (Pooler, Athens-Clarke County, Savannah region), and Oregon (Portland), with additional activity in Texas, Massachusetts, New Mexico, Arizona, New Haven, and other states. Representative recent work includes the City of Casselberry's SOQ for stormwater and lakes management consulting (SOQ20190424, five-year continuing services for hydraulic modeling, retention-system design, and permitting, with multiple firms awarded); Santa Clara County's Shoreline Adaptation Plan RFP (RFPCEOFY260615, due November 6, 2026, multi-jurisdictional sea-level-rise planning spanning four cities and two county areas); the Orange County Transportation Authority's M2 Environmental Cleanup Program water-quality technical consulting RFP (260490, five-year time-and-materials contract, $300,000 total budget, due November 9, 2026); the Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District's environmental-permitting on-call RFP (SQ1005400018080, Oregon, up to two price agreements from a $500,000 shared budget over five years, due October 30, 2026); and Salt Lake County's Brownfields Assessment services RFP (SLCOORD134175RFP, $1.37 million EPA Coalition Grant funding, 23 Phase II Environmental Site Assessments, due October 13, 2026). Continuing-services and on-call master agreements predominate, with task-order pricing negotiated post-award and no guaranteed minimum volumes; many solicitations require NEPA or CEQA compliance, pre-qualification via state transportation departments, professional licensing, and insurance minimums of $1–$2 million per occurrence for general liability and professional liability.
