UNSPSC 77141604: Non drinking water semi-volatile organics testing

Analysis of non-potable water / aqueous samples by a NELAC / VELAP certified laboratory utilizing EPA approved methods for PCBs, organochlorine pesticides, herbicides, diesel range organics, TBT (Tri-butyl tin), etc.

UNSPSC 77141604 Non drinking water semi-volatile organics testing is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses a much broader scope than the code name suggests — state and local governments use it to procure waste collection, treatment, and disposal services across hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams, from grease trap and septic waste through biomedical and pharmaceutical materials, emergency spill response, leachate hauling, sludge transport, and facility decontamination. The recent opportunity stream shows issuing bodies spanning school districts, cities, counties, state departments, special districts, and water authorities, with repeat buyers including Hillsborough County (Florida) and the City of Wichita (Kansas), purchasing these services on both standing-contract and emergency-response bases. Work is being solicited under this code for intake, treatment, and processing of FOG and septage (School Board of Volusia County, Florida, single-source ITB SS20263160JD, responses due May 5, 2026); biological waste collection and disposal (Houston City College RFP 27-03, responses due November 20, 2026); and solidification and disposal of non-hazardous liquid waste (City of Wichita ITB 260215, bids due October 30, 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with secondary volume in Kansas, Michigan, Georgia, and scattered regional activity across the mid-Atlantic and upper Midwest. The code captures a mix of routine, recurring services (weekly or monthly biomedical pickups, standing leachate hauls) and episodic, emergency-driven work (post-disaster debris removal, spill response, fire remediation). Contracts typically run one to five years with optional renewal periods and are structured as ITB or RFP notices. Set-asides and preferences vary by jurisdiction — Fort Worth applies a mandatory 30 percent small-business participation goal to its debris monitoring RFP (RFP 26-0312); Clayton County Georgia offers up to 5 percent local-vendor preference on debris removal (RFP 26-146); and most other bodies use lowest-responsive-responsible or best-value selection criteria without formal set-asides. This code remains active and moderately fragmented across issuing bodies and geographies; entry barriers are high (required licensing, environmental permits, insurance, HAZWOPER certification where applicable) but accessible to qualified regional and national operators in most markets.
