UNSPSC 77141601: Non drinking water microbiological testing

Testing of non-potable water (ground, storm, waste, etc.) or aqueous solutions for microbial contamination such as E. coli, Enterococcus, sulfur bacteria, etc. by a NELAC, VELAP certified laboratory utilizing EPA approved methodology.

UNSPSC 77141601 Non drinking water microbiological testing, Commodity, encompasses laboratory analysis of wastewater and non-potable water samples—including testing for total coliform, E. coli, nitrate, lead, copper, and other contaminants using Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater. State and local governments solicit this work through ITBs and RFPs to support environmental compliance, public health monitoring, and wastewater treatment operations. The recent opportunities block shows no solicitations explicitly tagged to this commodity code; the only water-testing opportunity in the source (Florida Department of Health ITB for potable water analysis at three DOH offices) addresses drinking water, not non-drinking water microbiological testing. The code appears to see little relevant state and local procurement activity in the current dataset.

The Florida Department of Health procurement for environmental laboratory services to analyze potable water samples (ITB DOH26-001, due July 8, 2026, later corrected to July 15, 2026) involves testing for total coliform, E. coli, lead, nitrate, and copper using Standard Methods, but the scope explicitly covers drinking water analysis rather than non-potable or wastewater microbiological testing. No other opportunities in the block reference non-drinking water microbiological testing or are tagged to the 77141601 code. If state and local purchasing offices are acquiring non-drinking water microbiological testing services, they are either tagging opportunities under different codes—such as environmental remediation, hazardous waste testing, or wastewater treatment oversight categories—or consolidating such services into broader environmental or laboratory contracts. Until recent solicitations explicitly name non-drinking water microbiological testing as a standalone line item, this commodity code signals limited, fragmented opportunity volume in current state and local procurement.
