UNSPSC 81151707: Core preparation and analysis services

Core analysis provides geologist and engineers comprehensive information on wellbore conditions and the probable productivity (economic value).

UNSPSC 81151707 Core preparation and analysis services, a Commodity code, encompasses specialized technical consulting and research services that state and local governments procure to support planning, design, and decision-making for infrastructure, environmental, and educational initiatives. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state agencies (water development boards, higher education coordinating boards) and municipal governments, reflecting the code's application across water resource management, scientific research, and institutional support functions. The scope of work spans hydrogeological and aquifer analysis, grant program technical assistance, and related consulting services where respondents must demonstrate advanced technical credentials, professional licensure, and specialized project experience.

Recent activity shows Texas state agencies as primary buyers. The Texas Water Development Board issued RFP 58027RFP0003 in July 2026, due August 6, 2026, for brackish groundwater production zone analysis across fourteen Central Texas counties—requiring ten years of hydrogeology and project management experience, professional geoscientist licensure, GIS and statistical expertise, and a Subcontracting Plan for Veteran Heroes United in Business vendors, with contract work running through August 31, 2027 and potentially renewable through 2030. The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board posted RFP 781-6-CB-14 in May 2026, closed May 21, 2026, for Open Educational Resources grant program technical assistance, requiring two years of OER creation and publishing experience, with deliverables due quarterly through August 2027 and contract start July 1, 2026. A municipal irrigation project (City of DeBary, Florida, Bid 03-15) also appeared in recent postings but represents infrastructure construction rather than analysis services and does not align with the code's nominal scope.
