UNSPSC 83101502: Water resource management

UNSPSC 83101502 Water resource management is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure water testing, treatment facility operations, infrastructure upgrades, and engineering services for potable water systems, reclaimed water operations, and wastewater treatment. Recent solicitations show a mix of routine compliance work—monthly water quality testing, chlorine tank inspections, wastewater analysis—and capital projects such as water main replacements, treatment plant upgrades, SCADA system deployments, and aquifer storage and recovery conversions. Issuing bodies span state environmental agencies, regional water authorities, county departments, city utilities, and special-purpose districts. The State of Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Maryland Environmental Service, Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, and multiple Florida municipalities (Hillsborough County, City of Dallas, City of Fort Worth, Orange County, Broward County, Tampa Bay Water) appear as repeat buyers; Santa Cruz Water Department, City of Casselberry, Clackamas Water Environment Services, and Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities also solicited under this code in recent months. The scope encompasses licensed water system operators, consulting engineers, laboratory and field testing contractors, control system integrators, and specialized equipment vendors serving treatment infrastructure.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Oregon, with additional recent solicitations from Illinois, Maryland, Utah, and Colorado. Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois Department of Corrections' request for water testing services at Menard Correctional Center (RFQ 27426DOCMENARB53250, due July 17, 2026), the Maryland Environmental Service's water main upgrade at Janes Island State Park (sealed bid 1262135R with MBE 13% goal, due August 10, 2026), the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority's Clean Water Needs Survey for wastewater facilities (RFQ PE92800RFQC2027000000014, due July 24, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's wastewater analysis contract at Mexia State Supported Living Center (HHS0017407, due July 23, 2026). The City of Santa Cruz Water Department solicited environmental services during construction for a $100 million+ treatment plant improvements project and design engineering for aquifer storage and recovery conversions. Firms offering operator certification, laboratory analysis, SCADA integration, and multi-disciplinary design-build services see steady demand; set-asides and preferences (MBE, DBE, local) apply selectively across jurisdictions, and prevailing wage and federal compliance requirements attach to state revolving fund and WIFIA-financed work.
