UNSPSC 77101705: Environmental economics advisory services

UNSPSC 77101705 Environmental economics advisory services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure planning, analysis, and technical consulting services addressing environmental compliance, sustainability, water quality, resilience, and related regulatory advisory work. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying environmental permitting support, climate and sea-level-rise adaptation planning, stormwater and water management engineering, brownfield site assessment, air quality permitting and compliance, environmental impact documentation under CEQA and NEPA, recycling program administration, and broader sustainability master planning tied to land use, parks, greenspace, and resilience goals. The code spans a wide issuing-body mix: municipalities and counties (Casselberry, New Smyrna Beach, Santa Clara County, Orange County, Tuolumne County, Chatham County–Savannah, Doral, Mableton, Cincinnati, Portland, New Haven, Taylor, Sacramento, Swainsboro); regional authorities and special districts (Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District in Portland; OCTA in Orange County; CORE MPO in Savannah; Atlanta Beltline, Inc.); state departments and offices (Oregon ODFW, California OPC-funded planning); and transit and airport authorities. Activity is nationally dispersed, with recent opportunities posted from California (six states and jurisdictions), Florida (four), Georgia (three), Oregon, Colorado, Connecticut, Michigan, Texas, Illinois, and New Mexico.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Casselberry, Florida's SOQ for stormwater and lakes management consulting services under Florida's Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (posted October 19, 2026, due February 5, 2019, with four awardees named); Santa Clara County's RFP for a subregional shoreline adaptation plan addressing sea-level-rise vulnerability and multi-jurisdictional resilience planning (posted October 14, 2026, due November 6, 2026); the Orange County Transportation Authority's RFP for water quality technical consulting services supporting environmental cleanup program administration (posted October 12, 2026, due November 9, 2026, budget $300,000 over five years); the City of Pooler, Georgia's RFP for a city-wide tree canopy coverage assessment and geodatabase (posted October 7, 2026, due November 6, 2026); and the Urban Flood Safety & Water Quality District in Portland, Oregon's RFP for environmental permitting on-call services across four jurisdictions (posted September 28, 2026, due October 30, 2026, shared budget of $500,000 over five years). Many procurements are structured as continuing services agreements, on-call task order vehicles, or qualifications-based selections, with compensation negotiated post-award through individual task assignments or hourly rates. Set-asides and local preferences appear in some solicitations, particularly DBE and veteran-owned business designations where federal funding is present.
