UNSPSC 77111603: Land rehabilitation services

The process of returning the land in a given area to some degree of its former state, after some process (industry, natural disasters, etc.) has resulted in its damage.

UNSPSC 77111603 Land rehabilitation services (Commodity) covers identification, testing, and remediation of environmental hazards—asbestos, lead-based paint, mold, and contaminated soil—in buildings and on sites, grounded in state and local governments' ongoing need to assess and clean properties for code compliance, insurance loss, and public health. Recent solicitations show two streams: hazard testing and documentation services for residential and commercial structures (led by cities and school districts), and comprehensive site remediation and environmental cleanup work for municipalities and special-purpose authorities addressing brownfield sites, landfill closures, and emergency spill response.

State and local buyers include cities (Ocala, Tampa, Dallas, St. Petersburg, Detroit, Savannah, Tucson), counties (Fulton, DeKalb, Pinellas, Snohomish, Bernalillo, Dorchester), school districts (Pinellas County Schools), state environmental departments (New Jersey DEP, Florida DEP, Kentucky Division of Water), special districts (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Tampa Bay Water, Atlanta Beltline), and mental health facilities (Elgin Mental Health Center). Activity clusters in Florida (Ocala RFQ for asbestos/mold/lead testing, Pinellas County Schools indoor air quality ITB at $100,000 estimated value, Tampa hazardous waste disposal RFQ, St. Petersburg emergency spill response), Georgia (Atlanta brownfield remediation IFB, Walker County courthouse attic/roof remediation RFP, Savannah tree preservation), and the Northeast (New Jersey remedial investigation, Maine sub-slab depressurization PQVL). The City of Ocala RFQ 26-1194 (due October 12, 2026—now closed) sought asbestos, mold, and lead testing for approximately 15–25 structures annually, primarily single-family homes 900–1,600 square feet, on a unit-price basis with a two-year initial term; Pinellas County Schools ITB 26-CD-039 (due November 6, 2026, pre-bid October 28) requires in-house laboratory capability within 25 miles and same-day to five-day air quality analysis turnaround for asbestos surveys, demolition surveys, and laboratory services. Geographic spread concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Kentucky (state-level landfill and dam rehabilitation projects), with secondary activity in Texas, New Jersey, Maine, Connecticut, Michigan, and Washington State. Set-asides appear in Detroit (equalization credits for Detroit-based businesses up to 12 percent), Savannah (local-vendor set-aside for 12-month-established businesses), and Fulton County (MBE/FBE utilization goals of 11.49 percent and 2.62 percent). Licensing and certification requirements are stringent and state-specific: Florida requires Licensed Mold Assessor and asbestos consultant credentials; New Jersey mandates Licensed Site Remediation Professionals; Maine requires Limited or Master Electrician licenses for sub-slab depressurization work. Insurance minimums range from $1 million general liability (most testing/mitigation work) to $5 million (airport and large infrastructure projects). Opportunities span RFQs, RFPs, ITBs, and standing pre-qualified vendor lists (PQVL), with contract terms typically one to three years and renewal options common.
