UNSPSC 77141704: Semi-volatile organics testing of soil or sludge or solid waste

Testing of soil, sludge, solid waste / materials for organic compounds by a NELAC / VELAP certified laboratory utilizing EPA approved methods. Tesitng for organochlorine pesticides, herbicieds, PCBs, etc.

UNSPSC 77141704 Semi-volatile organics testing of soil or sludge or solid waste (Commodity) shows minimal recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The code name implies laboratory analysis services for environmental contamination, yet the recent opportunities tagged under this code span waste collection, disposal, and remediation work that falls outside semi-volatile organics testing — including grease-trap and septic-waste processing, biological-waste collection, leachate hauling, debris removal, hazardous-waste transportation, and facility cleanup services. The misalignment between code nomenclature and actual solicitation content suggests this code sees little relevant state and local activity for organic soil analysis itself.

Recent opportunities present a fragmented geographic and issuing-body mix. The School Board of Volusia County (Florida) issued a notice of intent to single-source waste processing and disposal for $200,000 annually (due May 5, 2026). Beyond that, the tagged opportunities originate across multiple states — Texas, Kansas, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Oregon, and others — and span county solid-waste authorities, city environmental departments, transit agencies, state health and criminal-justice departments, and special-purpose districts. None of these solicitations target semi-volatile organics testing of environmental samples. The source documents waste-stream management (FOG, septage, biosolids, leachate, medical waste, demolition debris) and environmental remediation rather than analytical laboratory services. State and local procurement under this code appears inactive for its intended commodity line; the recent-opportunities block shows no contracts for soil or sludge testing laboratories.
