UNSPSC 11141606: Wood waste or scrap

UNSPSC 11141606 Wood waste or scrap is a Commodity code with minimal recent activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code predominantly involve hazardous waste removal and disposal, biohazard waste management, law enforcement equipment procurement, traffic control signage, and solid waste transportation—none of which constitutes wood waste or scrap in the conventional sense. The single opportunity that approaches alignment with the code's title is the City of Plant City, Florida tree debris disposal RFP (IFB 26-009SS-CS-IFB, due March 12, 2026), which solicited vendors to accept and process clean log wood, clean brush, and mixed loads on a per-ton basis at an approved disposal facility within 10 miles of City Hall. That procurement represents recovery or processing of wood waste from municipal street and waterway tree management, but it stands alone in the recent-opportunities block.

The broader state and local activity tagged to this code reflects a mismatch between the UNSPSC classification and the actual work being bought. Caltrans issued multiple small-business-reserved IFBQs for traffic control and pavement marking work in Los Angeles and San Mateo Counties (Solicitation Nos. 07A6357, 07A6359, 04A7481, all due in April 2026), the Maryland Environmental Service solicited hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation and disposal across five service categories (Solicitation No. 1265265, due May 7, 2026), and the City of Norwalk, Connecticut issued an RFP for yard waste transportation to CTDEEP-permitted compositing facilities (Solicitation No. 4507, due April 14, 2026). The code shows no pattern of sustained wood waste or scrap procurement activity across state and local jurisdictions, and the few opportunities nominally related to waste streams target broader hazardous and non-hazardous disposal rather than recovery or reuse of wood materials. For a business development professional evaluating this code, the current signal is thin: pursue only if your firm specializes in municipal tree debris recovery and composting, and monitor for tree management or land clearing RFPs that may be miscoded to this category.
