UNSPSC 77101803: Sectoral environmental auditing services

UNSPSC 77101803 Sectoral environmental auditing services (Commodity) comprises a diverse mix of environmental compliance, facility assessment, and specialized auditing services that state and local governments procure to evaluate regulatory adherence, operational efficiency, and environmental risk across their infrastructure and programs. The code sees activity from county governments, municipal utilities, state departments of transportation, school districts, and special-purpose authorities conducting everything from contract performance reviews and financial audits to NEPA compliance documentation, waste-to-energy facility quality assurance, water testing, and building systems commissioning. State and local issuing bodies procuring under this code include Tuolumne County (California), the South Dakota Department of Transportation, the City of Tampa (Florida), the Georgia Department of Transportation, the Washington State Department of Corrections, the City of Ocala (Florida), the Kissimmee Utility Authority (Florida), and the State of Oregon Department of Energy, among others. Representative recent opportunities span multiple disciplines: the City of Tampa issued an ITB (26P00197) on June 24, 2026, for quarterly cylinder gas analyzer testing, opacity testing, and CO2 sampling at the McKay Bay Waste to Energy Facility with a due date of May 8, 2026; the South Dakota Department of Transportation released an RFP (26RFP19846) on July 9, 2026, for NEPA Assignment consulting services with a Letter of Intent due June 26, 2026; and the Washington State Department of Corrections issued RFQQ K13991 on June 16, 2026, for DOJ-certified PREA auditing services across six correctional facilities with bids due July 8, 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and Southeast (Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia), with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest (Oregon, Washington) and Upper Midwest (South Dakota). The code exhibits fragmentation across issuing bodies and service categories rather than concentration in a single jurisdiction or discipline—utilities procure water-testing labs, DOTs procure environmental and safety planning consultants, corrections agencies procure audit services, and counties procure facility and energy assessments. Insurance requirements are consistent across opportunities: Commercial General Liability ranging from $1 million to $3 million per occurrence, Professional Liability from $1 million to $3 million, and Workers' Compensation at statutory limits. Most contracts structure work on an on-call or task-order basis rather than fixed scopes, with initial terms of one to three years and optional renewal periods common. Set-asides appear sporadically—the Tampa WTE facility procurement designated a five percent bid discount for certified Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBEs), while other opportunities show no explicit set-aside language. None of the recent opportunities identify incumbent contractors or price ceilings in their public notices, though evaluation criteria consistently weight qualifications and past performance at or above cost in the scoring matrix.
