UNSPSC 77141602: Non drinking water metals testing

Non-potable water metals testing by ICP to include, but not limited to As, Ag, Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Mo, Hg, Se,Mg, K, Na, Zn, V, Ti, Tl, Sr, etc. Testing is performed by a NELAC / VELAP certified laboratory by EPA approved methodology.

UNSPSC 77141602 Non drinking water metals testing is a Commodity code covering laboratory analysis and field testing services for metal contamination in non-potable water streams, grease trap waste, septic waste, and related aqueous materials. State and local governments procure these services primarily through environmental compliance programs at water treatment facilities, landfills, transfer stations, and waste disposal operations. The testing supports regulatory adherence under EPA and state environmental protection requirements, particularly for leachate, septic materials, biosolids, and industrial wastewater processing. Recent opportunities reveal minimal activity directly tagged to this code; most posting bodies instead solicit under broader waste-disposal or environmental-remediation codes despite implicit testing and characterization requirements embedded in their scopes.

The limited recent activity under this code is distributed across Florida, Kansas, and Michigan jurisdictions. The School Board of Volusia County, Florida issued a notice of intent to single-source waste processing and disposal services (SS20263160JD, ITB, response due May 5, 2026) involving treatment and processing of grease trap and septic waste with an estimated annual expenditure of $200,000, though the code appears misattributed—the core work is waste processing rather than metals testing. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) solicited emergency environmental cleanup and remediation services on an as-needed basis (RFP 26-2668, proposals due October 5, 2026) covering fuel and hazardous-material spills on right-of-way across 13 counties, with an implicit requirement for site characterization and analytical support. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners issued competitive sealed bids for leachate pumping, transportation, and disposal (ITB-26-00422, bids due October 14, 2026) with an estimated three-year contract value of $14.28 million, though the metals-testing component is subordinate to transportation services. The code shows sparse relevant procurement activity; state and local buyers are packaging metals testing and water characterization as line items within larger waste-management or environmental-remediation contracts rather than as standalone testing procurements, making pursue decisions difficult without access to full solicitation scopes and evaluation of whether testing specifications are mandated or discretionary.
