UNSPSC 77121602: Polluted soil removal services

UNSPSC 77121602 Polluted soil removal services is a Commodity code encompassing environmental remediation and contamination assessment work that state and local governments procure to address legacy pollution at closed landfills, brownfield sites, airport facilities, and municipal properties. Recent solicitations show work spanning groundwater and methane monitoring at landfills, remedial investigation and design at contaminated sites, environmental site assessments, lead abatement, and stream restoration with soil remediation components. Issuing bodies are diverse and include county environmental departments (Henry County, Georgia), state environmental protection agencies (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality), city and county aviation authorities (Broward County Aviation Department serving Fort Lauderdale and North Perry airports), municipal public housing authorities (Hartford Housing Authority), and special-purpose districts (Atlanta Beltline, Inc.). Henry County, Georgia appears repeatedly with annual contracts for groundwater and methane monitoring at two closed municipal solid waste landfills, signaling recurring demand in that jurisdiction. The work mix reflects both routine compliance monitoring and capital-driven remediation tied to specific site conditions or regulatory deadlines.

Activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, New Jersey, Texas, and Connecticut, with scattered opportunities in Illinois and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include Henry County's RFP 27-09 for Groundwater/Methane Gas Monitoring Services (proposals due September 10, 2026, emphasizing technical qualifications and methodology over cost at 5 percent weight), the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's RFQ for Remedial Investigation and Design Services under contract T2621 (quotes due November 20, 2026, requiring Licensed Site Remediation Professionals and site-specific Health and Safety and Quality Assurance Project Plans), Broward County Aviation Department's RFP PNC2131299P1 for Environmental Planning and Consulting Services at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood and North Perry airports (proposals due October 30, 2026, with past performance weighted at 45 percent and pricing at 5 percent), and the Hartford Housing Authority's RFP 2026-603 for lead-based paint abatement and hazard reduction services (sealed bids due May 28, 2026, with mandatory pre-bid walkthrough). Evaluation criteria consistently emphasize technical qualifications, relevant experience, and past performance over price, with cost typically weighted between 5 and 10 percent of scoring. Vendors routinely must maintain professional liability, environmental liability, and general liability insurance in the $1 million to $2 million range and demonstrate personnel holding professional engineering licenses or remediation certifications as required by state environmental statutes.
