Analysis of non-potable water by NELAC, VELAP certified laboratory using EPA approved methods

UNSPSC 77141600 Non-drinking water or aqueous testing is a Class code that encompasses intake, treatment, processing, and disposal services for non-hazardous aqueous waste streams including grease trap waste, septic waste, biosolids, leachate, sludge, and screening residue generated by state and local facilities. State and local governments solicit under this code to manage industrial and municipal wastewater byproducts, environmental remediation materials, and hazardous waste that require specialized collection, transport, and disposal at permitted facilities.

School districts, county waste authorities, municipalities, state transportation departments, and utility commissions drive recent activity. The School Board of Volusia County, Florida issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source waste processing and disposal services (SS20263160JD, due May 5, 2026) for grease trap waste, septic waste, biosolids, and treatment waste with an estimated annual contract value of $200,000 and 608,000 gallons of annual waste volumes. The City of Wichita, Kansas solicited bids for solidification and disposal of non-hazardous liquid waste (IFB 260215, due October 30, 2026), and Hillsborough County, Florida sought pumping, transportation, and disposal of leachate from its Southeast County Landfill (ITB 26-00422, due October 14, 2026) at an estimated three-year contract value of $14.28 million.

Recent activity spans Florida, Kansas, Michigan, Texas, Arizona, Georgia, and Washington, with concentration in the Southeast and Midwest. The code shows steady demand across jurisdictions managing municipal wastewater treatment byproducts and contaminated environmental materials, with contracts typically structured as as-needed or on-call arrangements and awarded to vendors holding required environmental permits and hazardous waste transporter registrations.
