UNSPSC 77141502 Metals testing is a Commodity code covering environmental testing, characterization, and analytical services related to contaminated materials, remediation oversight, and hazardous waste management. State and local governments purchase under this code primarily for contamination assessment, soil and groundwater testing, waste characterization prior to disposal, and laboratory analysis of environmental samples from remediation sites, brownfields, and hazardous waste operations. The recent opportunities show substantial activity in environmental remediation, hazardous waste disposal, and site cleanup across state agencies, counties, cities, and special-purpose districts, though the code's abstract name diverges noticeably from the concrete scope being solicited—metals testing per se appears infrequently, while comprehensive environmental response, waste characterization, biohazard and petroleum product disposal, and post-remediation clearance testing dominate actual purchasing.

Issuing bodies include state environmental and natural resources agencies (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, State of Oregon), county governments (Collier County Florida, Marion County Florida, Pasco County Florida, Volusia County Florida, Clayton County Georgia, Jefferson County Kentucky, Pinal County Arizona), municipal governments (City of Atlanta, City of Fort Worth, City of Orlando, City of Salem Oregon, City of Huntsville Texas, City of Dallas), water authorities (Clayton County Water Authority, Orlando Utilities Commission), school districts (Texas State Technical College, Marysville Public Schools, Klein Independent School District), and university systems (Georgia Institute of Technology). Recent solicitations span Texas (multiple state agency and city/county opportunities), Georgia (multiple county and state opportunities), Florida (Marion, Pasco, Volusia, Collier counties), Oregon (State procurement and City of Salem), Nevada (state-level), and scattered activity in Connecticut, Kentucky, Michigan, and Washington. The Texas General Land Office, Texas Facilities Commission, and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality emerge as repeat state-level buyers, while Collier County Florida, Clayton County Georgia, and the City of Atlanta appear multiple times. Representative recent opportunities include the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection's RFP for Environmental Mitigation, Assessment, and Remediation Services statewide (RFP 70CNRS3900, due August 11, 2026), the City of Atlanta's environmental remediation at the Chattahoochee Brick Company site covering excavation and off-site disposal of contaminated soils at $2.23 million (RFP PE66062NONST2026000000351, due August 17, 2026), the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's Superfund Engineering Services RFQ (RFQ 582-27-00400, June 15, 2026), and the Texas Department of Agriculture's pesticide disposal event services (RFP 5510000952, due August 17, 2026). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas, Georgia, and Florida, with secondary activity in the Pacific Northwest and mountain West.
