UNSPSC 77121609: Nitrates pollution assessment

UNSPSC 77121609 Nitrates pollution assessment is a Commodity code that in practice spans a wider range of environmental investigation, remediation, and interim management services than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments buy professional environmental response services under this code, including hydrogeologic consulting for groundwater management, certified environmental manager services for mine-site fluid operations, underground storage tank (UST) investigation and remediation, Phase I and II/III environmental site assessments, and related soil and groundwater characterization work. The issuing bodies are mixed—county utilities departments (Pinellas County, Florida), state environmental protection agencies (Nevada Division of Environmental Protection), state land protection branches (Georgia), and municipal engineering departments (City of Bradenton, Florida) all solicit under this code. The work often involves compliance with EPA, state environmental protection, and water management district regulations, and is frequently structured as continuing services or professional services library contracts with task orders issued as projects are identified.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida and the Southwest, with posted opportunities from Pinellas County Utilities (RFQ for hydrogeologic consulting services, five-year continuing contract, proposals due August 11, 2026), the State of Nevada Purchasing Division on behalf of the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (RFP for certified environmental manager services for mine-site interim fluid management, proposals due July 23, 2026), the City of Bradenton, Florida (RFQ for professional environmental testing services, proposals due April 2, 2026), and the State of Georgia Land Protection Branch (professional environmental response services for UST sites, proposals due April 14, 2026). Pinellas County's RFQ requires a 10 percent small-business enterprise subconsultant commitment on work assignments valued at $50,000 or greater, while Nevada applies a 5 percent preference to Nevada-based businesses and minimum fair-share percentages for minority, women, and small-business enterprises. The Pinellas County contract is estimated at five million dollars over five years; Nevada's contract term begins January 1, 2027, with a four-year initial term and two one-year renewal options.
