UNSPSC 77121600: Soil pollution

UNSPSC 77121600 Soil pollution is a Class code that encompasses environmental assessment, remediation, and monitoring services for contaminated sites, including soil testing, Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, brownfield remediation planning, lead-based paint abatement, and air and water quality monitoring in support of regulatory compliance. State and local governments buying under this code span environmental health departments, city planning offices, public housing authorities, county transportation agencies, and special-purpose environmental commissions. Recent solicitations show a mix of issuing bodies: the Town of Simsbury, Connecticut procuring MS4 stormwater and industrial stormwater permit compliance; Salt Lake County Health Department contracting for environmental laboratory analysis of soil, water, and air samples; the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) operating air quality monitoring stations; the City of Tucson seeking brownfield assessment and remediation services; and the Housing Authority of the City of Hartford issuing bids for lead-based paint abatement at public housing properties. Work being solicited ranges from technical compliance support—stormwater permitting, permit transition documentation, and regulatory reporting—to hands-on remediation, equipment operation and maintenance, and community-facing brownfield redevelopment in historic neighborhoods.

Geographic activity centers on Connecticut, Texas, Utah, and Arizona, with scattered activity in Massachusetts, California, Georgia, and Florida. The Town of Simsbury RFP for MS4 stormwater compliance and industrial stormwater permit services closed July 14, 2026, requiring preparation of revised Stormwater Management Plans and Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination (IDDE) program documentation under a three-year contract with renewal options. Salt Lake County's environmental laboratory services RFC, due May 11, 2026, targets analysis of 54 analytical types across water, soil, and air samples with standard and expedited turnaround options under a five-year firm-price contract with an approximate annual value not to exceed $8,000. TCEQ issued RFPs for air quality monitoring station operation and maintenance at Big Bend National Park (proposals due March 23, 2026, contract September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2028 with renewal options) and at five sites in the Rio Grande Valley (proposals due April 2, 2026, same contract period), both requiring 85 percent quarterly data return with payment reductions for shortfalls and HUB subcontracting plan submissions. The City of Tucson's brownfield assessment and remediation RFP, with a pre-submittal conference in April 2023 and proposals due May 5, 2023, supported a $1,214,200 EPA cooperative agreement with Section 3 and DBE labor requirements. Recent activity signals sustained state and local demand for technical environmental compliance support, remediation contracting, and lab and monitoring services, particularly in jurisdictions managing stormwater regulations, brownfield redevelopment, and air quality monitoring under federal and state environmental mandates.
