UNSPSC 77121507: Carbon dioxide monitoring services

UNSPSC 77121507 Carbon dioxide monitoring services (Commodity) covers water quality and environmental monitoring services, including laboratory analysis, field sampling, and regulatory reporting. State and local governments procure this code primarily for wastewater and drinking water compliance testing, specialized contaminant analysis (Legionella, PFAS, endotoxin, trace metals), and emergency spill response monitoring. The mix of issuing bodies spans water and sewer departments, county health authorities, school districts, transit agencies, state environmental protection departments, and housing authorities. Recent opportunities show activity from Forsyth County (Georgia), Santa Clara County (California), Hillsborough County Public Schools (Florida), New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, and the Illinois Department of Human Services. Procurement notices run across Invitation to Quote (ITQ), Invitation for Bids (IFB), Request for Proposal (RFP), and Request for Quote (RFQ) notice types, with response dates typically clustering four to eight weeks from posting.

Geographic concentration shows significant recent activity in Georgia and Florida, with secondary activity across California, Illinois, New Jersey, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Forsyth County's ITQ for emergency sewer spill monitoring, sampling, analysis, and regulatory reporting services (due November 12, 2026), Santa Clara County's RFP for waterborne pathogen and environmental microbiology testing including AAMI ST108 water quality and Legionella culture analysis (due October 22, 2026), and the Illinois Department of Human Services' solicitation for Legionella water testing services at the Elisabeth Ludeman Developmental Center (due May 1, 2026). Hillsborough County Public Schools issued an ITB for comprehensive water and wastewater laboratory services covering 32 line items with estimated annual test volumes ranging from 2 to 850 per category. Specialized credentials dominate bidder requirements—ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, CDC ELITE participation, state laboratory certifications, and OSHA compliance are mandatory. Contract terms typically range from one to five years, with pricing structured as unit-cost or per-sample models rather than fixed fees, and most awards targeting the lowest responsive, responsible bidder.
