UNSPSC 77141702: Metals testing of soil or sludge or solid waste

Metals testing by ICP to include, but not limited to, Ag, As, Al, Ba, Ca, Cd, Cr, Cu, Fe, pb, Mo, Hg, K, na, Zn, V, Tl, Ti, Sr, etc. Testing is performed by a NELAC / VELAP certified laboratory utilizing EPA approved methods.

UNSPSC 77141702 Metals testing of soil or sludge or solid waste is a Commodity code encompassing environmental site assessment and characterization services — specifically laboratory and field testing of contaminated media — that state and local governments procure as part of broader remediation, waste management, and site investigation activities. State and local buyers under this code include state environmental protection and natural resources agencies, county departments, municipal utilities and public works departments, school districts, and special-purpose districts; recent opportunities show repeat activity from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, and multiple city and county environmental departments. The scope spans hazardous waste characterization, metals and contaminant testing, soil sampling, environmental site assessments, remediation oversight, and waste stream profiling — services typically embedded within larger environmental remediation and site investigation contracts rather than procured standalone.

Recent activity concentrates heavily in Texas, Nevada, Georgia, Florida, and Oregon. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection issued RFP 70CNRS3900 (due August 11, 2026) for statewide Environmental Mitigation, Assessment, and Remediation Services including waste characterization and chemical analysis; the City of Atlanta issued a pre-advertisement for environmental remediation at the Chattahoochee Brick Company site (due August 11, 2026, ITB pending) involving excavation of lead, cadmium, and other contaminants with environmental monitoring; Marion County, Florida issued ITB 26B-101 (due July 16, 2026) for hazardous waste collection, laboratory packaging, and disposal; and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issued RFQ 582-27-00400 (due June 8, 2026, responses due) for Superfund Engineering Services including field sampling and site surveys. Testing and characterization work appears consistently in disaster debris removal, brownfield remediation, and regulated waste disposal solicitations, indicating steady baseline demand tied to environmental compliance and site investigation cycles rather than episodic spikes.
