UNSPSC 83101509: Service water

UNSPSC 83101509 Service water, a Commodity code, encompasses routine and emergency water quality testing, analysis, and monitoring services that state and local governments procure to ensure safe potable water and regulatory compliance at treatment facilities, correctional institutions, and utility systems. Recent solicitations show state departments of corrections, municipal water departments, environmental finance authorities, and county utilities buying licensed water testing and analysis services—from basic microbial and chemical sampling to comprehensive trace organic laboratory testing and wastewater discharge monitoring. The Illinois Department of Corrections issued two recent opportunities for certified water system operators at correctional facilities (Menard and Robinson Centers) with response dates in June and July 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission procured monthly wastewater analysis and Discharge Monitoring Report services at Mexia State Supported Living Center (due July 23, 2026); the City of Santa Cruz Water Department solicited environmental consulting services for water treatment plant construction monitoring (due May 14, 2026); and the County of Sacramento Department of Waste Management and Recycling requested three-year laboratory testing contracts for groundwater quality monitoring across landfill facilities (due May 26, 2026). The Georgia Environmental Finance Authority commissioned a Clean Water Needs Survey to assess capital investment requirements for wastewater systems statewide (due July 24, 2026). Issuing bodies span state environmental protection divisions, municipal water and wastewater utilities, county waste management departments, and state health and corrections agencies; repeat buyers include large metropolitan utilities (Atlanta, Sacramento, Dallas, Fort Worth, Santa Cruz) and state-level procurement offices for corrections and environmental protection. The code sees activity concentrated in California, Texas, Georgia, Illinois, Florida, and Oregon, with additional recent solicitations in Arizona, Colorado, and Washington.

Representative recent opportunities include the State of Illinois Department of Corrections (Menard Correctional Center) IFB for water testing services due July 17, 2026, requiring state and federal certifications and $1 million general liability insurance; the County of Sacramento RFQ for laboratory testing services (EPA methods 8260, 8270, 8080, 8141, 8151, plus PFAS analysis) across three landfill facilities, contract term three years with 10-day turnaround requirements, due May 26, 2026; the City of Fort Worth RFQt for chlorine tank inspection services at nine bulk storage tanks using ASME and Chlorine Institute standards (one-year initial term with four one-year renewals, questions due February 24, 2026); and the City of Dallas ID/IQ agreement for ozone system maintenance at three water treatment plants (36-month term, $100 bid security, SBE participation goals, due May 15, 2026). Water quality testing and analysis work is active, with consistent demand across treatment, distribution, and pretreatment monitoring driven by federal Safe Drinking Water Act and Clean Water Act compliance obligations.
