UNSPSC 77101700: Environmental advisory services

UNSPSC 77101700 Environmental advisory services is a Class code covering stormwater and lakes management, environmental permitting, shoreline adaptation planning, brownfields assessment, environmental review and compliance documentation, air quality support, and related technical consulting that state and local governments procure to navigate complex regulatory environments and manage environmental infrastructure. State and local issuing bodies—chiefly municipalities and counties, with specialized authorities such as airport districts, transit agencies, and environmental protection departments—source these services through RFPs, RFQs, and on-call task-order vehicles when environmental assessment, regulatory coordination, or planning expertise is required. The work commonly spans multi-jurisdictional coordination, stakeholder engagement, compliance with federal and state permitting regimes (CEQA, NEPA, wetland delineation, brownfields protocols, EPA Lead and Copper Rule requirements), and integration of sustainability or resilience priorities into infrastructure planning. Representatives from the recent opportunities block include the City of Casselberry, Florida's SOQ for stormwater and lakes management services (five-year continuing contract for hydraulic modeling, retention and detention design, lake restoration, watershed planning, and permitting under the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act); the Utilities Commission of New Smyrna Beach, Florida's RFP for master planning and entitlement services on a 600-acre utility complex with environmental site constraints; and Santa Clara County's RFP for a multi-jurisdictional Shoreline Adaptation Plan addressing sea level rise and equitable adaptation strategy across six Bay Area cities and unincorporated areas, funded by the California Ocean Protection Council.

Activity under this code spans Florida (Casselberry, New Smyrna Beach, Westerville), California (Santa Clara County, Sacramento County airports, Tuolumne County, Pooler), Georgia (Savannah, Athens-Clarke County, New Haven), Oregon (Portland-area Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District), and other states, with repeat solicitations for on-call environmental planning and permitting services at transportation agencies and water utilities. The geographic concentration reflects infrastructure modernization pressure in coastal and water-constrained regions and post-fire hazard mitigation in western jurisdictions. Other representative opportunities include the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP for water quality technical consulting supporting environmental cleanup program administration ($300,000 total budget over five years, responding vendors due November 9, 2026); the Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District's RFP for environmental permitting on-call services across North Portland, Gresham, Fairview, and Troutdale ($500,000 shared budget over five years, due October 30, 2026); and Bernalillo County's RFP for EPA Brownfield Assessment Administration Services (due October 27, 2026). Procurement activity remains steady across Q3–Q4 2026, with response deadlines clustered in October–November 2026.
