UNSPSC 77121610: Phosphates pollution assessment

UNSPSC 77121610 Phosphates pollution assessment, a Commodity code, spans environmental investigation, remediation, and operational management of contaminated sites where phosphate-related or industrial process water discharge poses pollution risk. State and local governments soliciting under this code are engaging environmental consultants and contractors for hydrogeologic assessment, underground storage tank investigation and remediation, mine-site interim fluid management, and site characterization studies. The issuing bodies include county utilities departments, state environmental protection agencies, and county waste management divisions. Recent work encompasses aquifer storage and recovery well design and permitting, interim fluid management at mine sites to prevent environmental discharge, underground storage tank investigation at sites where responsible parties are unable or unwilling to perform required compliance, and engineering testing services for Phase I and II environmental site assessments and brownfield investigations.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida, Nevada, Georgia, and California. Pinellas County Utilities in Florida issued RFQ 26-0616-CCNAC on July 9, 2026 (due August 11, 2026) for five-year hydrogeologic consulting services addressing aquifer storage, recharge wells, deep disposal wells, and monitoring—a $5 million contract with a 10 percent Pinellas County small business enterprise subconsultant requirement. The State of Nevada Purchasing Division, on behalf of the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, issued RFP 70CNRS3893 on June 18, 2026 (due July 23, 2026) for certified environmental manager services to manage interim fluid operations at defaulted mine sites statewide, a four-year contract beginning January 1, 2027 with a 5 percent Nevada business preference. The State of Georgia issued eRFQ 46200DNR0000837 on March 13, 2026 (due April 14, 2026) for underground storage tank environmental response services statewide. Recent solicitations reflect a market driven primarily by state and local environmental compliance and alternative water supply challenges rather than phosphate-specific contamination, suggesting the code may capture phosphate-related activity incidentally within broader environmental assessment and remediation work.
