UNSPSC 83101507: Desalination services

UNSPSC 83101507 Desalination services, a Commodity code, encompasses water testing, analysis, and monitoring services that state and local governments procure to ensure compliance with drinking water, wastewater, and reclaimed water quality standards. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions are buying routine laboratory testing for potable water systems, wastewater treatment facility monitoring, and specialized analytical services for regulatory compliance—work that ranges from monthly testing protocols at correctional facilities to comprehensive groundwater and treatment-plant monitoring across multi-facility systems. Illinois Department of Corrections, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, County of Sacramento, and municipalities across Florida and Georgia are the primary issuing bodies, representing state agencies, county departments, and municipal water utilities. State correctional institutions and water treatment facilities drive much of the routine testing demand, while environmental authorities and county waste management divisions source periodic technical studies and system assessments.

Recent opportunities span Illinois, Texas, Georgia, California, and Florida, with concentrated activity in Georgia (Atlanta Department of Watershed Management pre-qualifications for blower maintenance, Trojan UV system maintenance, and trace organic laboratory testing) and Florida (Hillsborough County, Broward County, and Palm Bay water system procurements). Representative solicitations include the Illinois Department of Corrections' water testing services for Menard Correctional Center (IFB 27426DOCMENARB53250, due July 17, 2026) seeking licensed testing vendors with state and federal certifications; Texas Health and Human Services Commission's wastewater analysis for Mexia State Supported Living Center (IFB HHS0017407, due July 23, 2026) requiring monthly testing, DMR reporting, and annual sludge analysis with a historical annual value of $48,600; and Georgia Environmental Finance Authority's Clean Water Needs Survey (RFQ PE92800RFQC2027000000014, due July 24, 2026) for capital investment assessment of wastewater collection and treatment systems. County of Sacramento solicited laboratory testing for groundwater quality monitoring across three landfills (RFP 2026GEN0045, due May 26, 2026) with three-year terms covering EPA analytical methods and PFAS testing. Activity is recent and steady across multiple notice types (IFB, RFQ, RFP) with response deadlines spanning mid-July 2026, indicating active procurement momentum in the water quality compliance space.
