UNSPSC 81101521: Hydrogeology assessment service

Ground water, water table, water pressure in the ground

UNSPSC 81101521 Hydrogeology assessment service is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of specialized groundwater investigation, aquifer characterization, well testing, contamination assessment, and remedial design services. State and local governments use this code to solicit environmental consultants for drinking water source development, PFAS and contamination response, aquifer impact studies, and water resource permitting support. The mix of issuing bodies spans regional water authorities (Tampa Bay Water), municipalities (Murray City, City of Groton), county environmental programs, and state environmental protection agencies (New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection). Recent work under the code emphasizes emerging contaminants—particularly PFAS in municipal groundwater supplies—alongside traditional hydrogeological assessments for source development and treatment feasibility.

Activity concentrates in Florida and the Southwest, with recent solicitations from Utah, Connecticut, New Jersey, Oregon, and Texas. Murray City, Utah issued a Statements of Qualifications on October 16, 2026 (response due November 16, 2026) for a PFAS Evaluation and Source Development Study addressing PFOA contamination in two municipal wells, with up to $100,000 in Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Emerging Contaminants funding and 100% principal forgiveness. The City of Groton, Connecticut posted an RFP on September 28, 2026 (due October 19, 2026) for installation of two permanent water quality monitor wells to approximately 45 feet deep along Route 214 in Ledyard. Tampa Bay Water solicited as-needed hydrogeological services on May 8, 2026 (proposals due June 30, 2026), intending to award five firm contracts for groundwater and surface water modeling, permitting assistance, well design and inspection, and aquifer impact analysis across its three-county service area. The New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection posted a solicitation on September 29, 2026 (quotes due November 20, 2026) for Remedial Investigation and Design Services requiring site remediation professionals and discipline engineers under 29 CFR 1910.120 HASP protocols and state Quality Assurance Project Plan requirements. Federal funding (Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, FAA Airport Improvement Program, FEMA Public Assistance) and state appropriations underpin many awards, often with DBE or SBE participation goals where applicable.
