UNSPSC 11141603: Oil wastes

UNSPSC 11141603 Oil wastes, a Commodity code, covers collection, transportation, characterization, and disposal or recycling of used motor oil, oil filters, transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, contaminated water and sludge, and oil-contaminated materials generated across state and local operations—work that state and local governments solicit primarily to manage waste streams from fleet maintenance shops, school districts, and transportation infrastructure. Recent state and local opportunities show school districts, municipal public-works departments, and statewide environmental agencies as the primary issuing bodies, with school districts soliciting comprehensive hazardous waste management contracts that bundle oil waste alongside other facility-generated hazards such as paint, solvents, and science-lab chemicals. Work scope spans routine and emergency pickups, manifesting and chain-of-custody documentation, spill response and remediation, compliance with EPA and state environmental regulations, and provision of certificates of disposal or recycling. Vendors typically must hold hazardous waste transporter licenses, hazmat transportation credentials, and appropriate state business authorizations; maintain commercial general liability and pollution liability insurance; and respond to standard requests within 48 hours and emergency situations within two hours.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, and California. The School Board of Marion County, Florida posted ITB 4194MF in October 2026 for hazardous waste packaging, pickup, and disposal across district locations with a response deadline of October 7, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid meeting on September 22, 2026 at the MCPS Central Warehouse in Ocala; the awarded contract runs November 11, 2026 through November 10, 2027 with three optional one-year renewals. The City of Atlanta Department of Public Works issued IFB MS-IFB/DPW/2609-1270061 in September 2026 seeking used oil and hazardous waste collection, transport, characterization, and disposal across six fleet maintenance shops with proposals due September 25, 2026. The Maryland Environmental Service issued RFP 1264398R in April 2026 for statewide used motor oil, oil filter, and antifreeze collection and recycling services across approximately 144 motor oil sites and 85 antifreeze sites, with proposals due May 18, 2026; the contract carries a two-year initial term with one optional one-year renewal and evaluation weighted toward technical approach (40 points) and pricing (30 points). Salt Lake City's October 2026 RFI SLCI27037 for food waste recycling and recovery services appears misaligned with the oil waste code scope and does not represent genuine activity under this category; the Cobb County School District fuel purchase and Hillsborough County School District diesel ITB likewise address fuel procurement rather than oil waste management and do not reflect code-relevant activity.
