UNSPSC 77101805: Environmental quality control services

UNSPSC 77101805 Environmental quality control services is a Commodity code encompassing the testing, monitoring, assessment, and remediation of environmental conditions at government facilities and natural resource sites. State and local governments procure under this code for water quality testing, environmental site investigations, contamination monitoring, and compliance documentation — work driven by regulatory requirements under the Clean Water Act, CERCLA, NEPA, and state environmental statutes. Recent solicitations show this code remains active across diverse issuing bodies, though activity is concentrated in a handful of repeat buyers and geographies, with scope ranging from straightforward analytical testing to complex multi-disciplinary environmental consulting.

Tuolumne County, California emerges as the dominant repeat buyer in the recent-opportunities block, soliciting environmental quality control work across multiple programs and funding streams: herbicide application services to support forest restoration under federal stewardship agreements, fuels reduction and defensible space work connected to wildfire resilience, and botanical survey services. Beyond Tuolumne County, the code sees activity from the City of Ocala (Florida) and City of Tampa (Florida) on water and wastewater testing; the City of Winter Park (Florida) on residential energy audits; the California State Water Resources Control Board on CEQA environmental documentation; and the Georgia Department of Transportation and state environmental agencies on compliance and quality assurance work. The City of Ocala's ITB WRS/260618 Environmental Water Testing solicitation (bid due May 12, 2026 and now closed) exemplifies the routine compliance work: NELAP-certified laboratory services for drinking water and wastewater analyses across municipal facilities, with a three-year initial term and optional two one-year renewals. Tuolumne County's RFP for Fall 2026 Herbicide Release work (proposals due September 23, 2026) represents the broader environmental remediation and restoration category, requiring licensed contractors to apply chemicals across approximately 973 acres of forest burn scar to support reforestation, with work performed on behalf of the Yosemite Stanislaus Solutions Collaborative and USDA Forest Service. Geographic concentration is evident in California (Tuolumne County, statewide State Water Resources Control Board work), Florida (Ocala, Tampa, Winter Park), and Georgia (GDOT, counties), with sporadic activity in South Dakota and Washington. The code shows no shortage of work — recent opportunities span water testing, forest health and fuels reduction, site assessment and monitoring, compliance documentation, and quality audits — but sustained pursuit requires technical depth in regulated sectors and willingness to support multi-year cooperative arrangements with state and federal partners.
