UNSPSC 81102601: Coal sampling service

Vendor takes samples of coal and analyzes them for quality.

UNSPSC 81102601 Coal sampling service is a Commodity code that state and local governments do not presently solicit under—the recent opportunities block contains no active or draft solicitations matching this code's scope. The eight most recent state and local contract opportunities posted between April and October 2026 span groundwater and methane gas monitoring, environmental planning and compliance consulting, construction engineering inspection, remedial investigation and design, stream restoration, lead detection equipment, materials testing, environmental site assessments, on-call park repairs, building plan review, and subsurface utility exploration. None of these procurement activities involve coal sampling or coal-related environmental monitoring. The code appears inactive in state and local procurement at present.

The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the opportunities attached suggests that UNSPSC 81102601 may have been assigned to this source material in error, or that state and local procurement offices have not tagged coal sampling solicitations under this commodity code in recent months. Business development professionals should verify whether their firm's coal sampling or coal-related environmental testing capabilities align with active state and local demand before investing pursuit resources in this code. Monitor for future landfill remediation and Superfund site work where coal-related contamination assessment may emerge as a subcomponent of broader environmental remediation procurements tagged under higher-tier codes.
