UNSPSC 77111503: Food or feed contamination protection services

UNSPSC 77111503 Food or feed contamination protection services (Commodity) encompasses construction, environmental remediation, and containment work that state and local governments procure to address contamination risks across correctional facilities, water infrastructure, brownfield sites, and industrial operations. The recent solicitations tagged under this code reveal significant misalignment between the nominal taxonomy name and actual procurement activity—none of the sampled opportunities directly address food or feed contamination. Instead, issuing bodies are buying sprinkler system replacement in correctional facilities, shoreline adaptation planning, mosquito control services, environmental site remediation, stream restoration, brownfield assessment, industrial vacuum and pressure washing, materials recovery facility inspections, emergency mitigation services, security services, electrical substation environmental remediation, and aquatic species relocation surveys. The issuing-body mix spans county governments (Collin County, Texas; Walworth County, Wisconsin; Rockland County, New York; Bernalillo County, New Mexico), municipalities (City of Arlington, Texas; City of Phoenix, Arizona; City of Detroit, Michigan; City of Union City, Georgia; City of Atlanta via Beltline), special-purpose districts and authorities (Santa Clara County Office of Sustainability and Resilience; Orlando Utilities Commission; Brazos River Authority), state environmental agencies (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection), and regional commissions (Atlanta Regional Commission). Repeat activity concentrates in Texas and the broader Southeast, with solicitations also emerging from the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic, and Southwest.

Recent opportunities include Collin County's $150,000 IFB (due November 19, 2026) for institutional sprinkler head replacement in jail cells under NFPA 13 standards with prevailing-wage requirements; the City of Arlington's RFP (due October 22, 2026) for annual mosquito control services requiring AMCA, CDC, EPA, and state compliance; and New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's RFQ (due November 20, 2026) for comprehensive remedial investigation and design services on contaminated sites, with contractors required to submit health and safety plans, quality assurance project plans, and multiple insurance certifications. Additional current solicitations span Santa Clara County's regional shoreline adaptation planning effort (due November 6, 2026) addressing sea level rise across seven Bay Area jurisdictions, the City of Phoenix's materials recovery facility inspection program (due April 1, 2026, with mandatory site visits March 6, 2026), the City of Detroit's substation environmental remediation RFQ targeting asbestos abatement and transformer oil removal (originally due July 28, 2026), and the Brazos River Authority's freshwater mussel survey and species relocation RFP (due July 16, 2026). The code's recent activity signals substantial procurement outside the stated taxonomy definition; business development professionals should treat this code as a data-quality issue and validate the actual commodity classification before pursuing opportunities.
