UNSPSC 85101708 Health safety environmental service is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure environmental consulting, assessment, and remediation services ranging from ecological surveys and aquatic species management to stormwater and water quality compliance support. The issuing bodies are predominantly counties, cities, and regional authorities—the Brazos River Authority in Texas, the City of Union City in Georgia, the Atlanta Regional Commission, Pasco County in Florida, the City of Phoenix, and the City of Norwalk in Connecticut—pursuing RFPs and RFQs for specialized environmental technical work. Services currently being solicited include freshwater mussel population surveys with species relocation, environmental resource permitting and wetlands assessment, water quality sampling and stream restoration, materials recovery facility inspections, and Safety Action Plan development with traffic safety data collection and analysis. The scope reflects demand for environmental compliance expertise across municipal stormwater (MS4 permit) programs, federal grant-funded safety initiatives, facility and infrastructure permitting, and operational environmental management.

Activity under the code concentrates in Florida and Texas, with recent solicitations also present in Georgia, Connecticut, and California. Representative recent opportunities include the Brazos River Authority's RFP for freshwater mussel survey and aquatic species relocation services (due July 16, 2026), Pasco County's RFQ for as-needed environmental services supporting the MS4 permit program (due April 14, 2026), and the City of Norwalk's RFP for Safety Action Plan development funded through the federal Safe Streets and Roads for All grant (due April 24, 2026). The City of Phoenix issued an RFP for materials recovery facility maintenance and inspection (due April 1, 2026). Compensation structures vary widely—the Brazos River Authority uses time-and-materials billing against task-specific not-to-exceed amounts with a five-year potential term; Pasco County structures work as task orders under an as-needed three-year plus two one-year renewal framework; Norwalk capped the Safety Action Plan at $500,000 in federal grant funding. Insurance requirements are substantial across solicitations, typically mandating $1 million in professional liability and general liability coverage. No incumbent vendors or explicit small-business set-asides appear consistently across recent opportunities, though some issuing bodies note local preference or encourage participation from minority and women-owned businesses.
