UNSPSC 11101800: Precious metals

UNSPSC 11101800 Precious metals is a Class code encompassing the collection, recovery, and recycling of precious and recoverable metals from operational sites and waste streams. State and local governments solicit under this code primarily for lead remediation and shell casing recovery at firing ranges, where spent ammunition and accumulated lead shot represent both environmental liability and recyclable material value. The work involves physical removal of lead contamination from range berms, collection and sorting of spent casings, and coordination with scrap metal recyclers for material disposition. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation divisions operating public shooting ranges, which bear responsibility for environmental compliance and site stewardship at these facilities.

Volusia County Parks, Recreation & Cultural Division in Florida represents the recent activity under this code. In August 2026, Volusia County posted IFB 24B56JS for lead removal services and shell casing recycling at Robert Strickland Shooting Range in Daytona Beach, with a response deadline of March 28, 2024. The scope encompasses lead remediation across three berms positioned at twenty-five, fifty, and one hundred yards from the shooting line, plus collection and recycling of spent casings, with reimbursement structured for both service lines. Bidders must provide bid and performance bonds and carry insurance per exhibit specifications; Addendum #1 Revision was issued February 28, 2024. No contract value or incumbent is identified in the posting.
