UNSPSC 77121603: Polluted soil treatment or rehabilitation

UNSPSC 77121603 Polluted soil treatment or rehabilitation, a Commodity code, encompasses industrial vacuum and pressure washing services to remove contaminated materials from power generation and waste facilities, erosion control and hydroseeding work on landfill slopes, hydrogeologic consulting for groundwater remediation and aquifer storage systems, Phase I and II/III environmental site assessments and brownfield investigations, and interim fluid management at mine sites where operators have defaulted on environmental obligations. State and local procurement under this code draws from utility commissions, county waste management departments, municipal environmental and planning services, and state environmental protection divisions. The Orlando Utilities Commission solicited industrial vacuum truck and pressure washing services (RFP 26 PR9033, due April 23, 2026) for removal of limestone slurry, bottom ash, and fly ash from three Florida power plants, requiring vendors to demonstrate three years of experience and maintain a fleet of at least four vacuum trucks (300–1,000 CFM) and three tank trucks (5,000-gallon minimum capacity); Sacramento County's Department of Waste Management and Recycling sought erosion control via hydroseeding (RFB #2026-RFB-0049, due June 11, 2026) across four landfill and transfer stations totaling approximately 50 acres annually; Pinellas County Utilities requested a five-year hydrogeologic consulting contract (RFQ 26-0616-CCNAC, due August 11, 2026, estimated value $5 million) for aquifer storage, recharge, and disposal well design and permitting; and the State of Nevada Division of Environmental Protection posted a request for Certified Environmental Manager services (RFP 70CNRS3893, due July 23, 2026) for interim fluid management at multiple defaulted mine sites statewide, including pump-back systems, active evaporation, pond liner repairs, and environmental monitoring over a four-year term beginning January 1, 2027.

Recent activity clusters in Florida (utility and county water-management procurement), California (waste-sector erosion control), Georgia (municipal building-code compliance and plan review, unrelated to the code's scope), and Nevada (state-level environmental remediation at mining sites). The geographic spread reflects infrastructure and water-resource challenges in the Southeast and West rather than nationwide distribution. Representative work spans both recurring maintenance contracts at operating facilities and emergency or remedial mitigation at impaired or defaulted sites. Issuing bodies favor multi-year continuing services agreements and RFP/RFQ processes, with evaluation criteria typically weighting firm experience with similar projects, staff expertise, and cost efficiency. Set-aside programs appear in several solicitations—Orlando Utilities established an 8% M/WBE participation goal; Sacramento County offered 5% local-business and 2% micro-business preferences; Pinellas County required 10% small-business-enterprise subconsultant commitments on assignments exceeding $50,000; and Nevada applied a 5% in-state business preference with minimum small-business-enterprise "fair share" percentages. Insurance and professional licensure requirements are standard across all observed opportunities.
