UNSPSC 11141607: Rubber waste or scrap

UNSPSC 11141607 Rubber waste or scrap is a Commodity code covering the removal, transportation, and disposal or recycling of discarded tires, rubber materials, and related waste streams from state and local government facilities. State and local procurement activity under this code involves transportation departments, county solid waste operations, school districts, and municipal service departments that generate tire and rubber waste at maintenance yards, collection sites, and operational facilities. Scope of work ranges from routine scheduled pickups and dumpster management to emergency response services, with contractors typically responsible for labor, equipment, manifesting, compliance documentation, and final disposition at approved recycling or disposal facilities. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation (Caltrans, IDOT), county boards of commissioners (Pasco County, Ventura County), county environmental services (Maryland Environmental Service), school districts (William S. Hart Union High School District), and transit or municipal departments. Geographic spread spans California, Illinois, Florida, Maryland, and Washington, with recent activity concentrated in coastal and Midwestern jurisdictions.

The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) posted an IFB for pickup and disposal of tires and scrap rubber throughout District 1 (Cook, Lake, DuPage, Will, Kane, and McHenry counties) on June 4, 2026, with bids due June 18, 2026; the scope covers 28 maintenance yards with required provision and maintenance of 84 lockable dumpsters and service on-call within seven calendar days. Pasco County, Florida issued an IFB for as-needed waste tire management services on May 21, 2026, with bids due June 23, 2026, covering an estimated 1,000 tons annually from two collection sites with pricing on a per-ton basis and disposal at FDEP- or EPA-approved facilities. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) Division of Procurement and Contracts solicited multi-provider biohazard waste removal and disposal services via IFB 07A6365 on June 4, 2026, with bids due June 18, 2026, covering debris, trash, and waste removal from Route 710 corridor properties in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties under a three-year contract; the County of Ventura issued a separate RFB for e-waste recycling services posted May 28, 2026, due June 25, 2026, with award to the vendor offering the highest revenue return. Recent opportunities typically require state licensing (hazardous materials transporter credentials, contractor licenses with hazmat certifications, commercial tire-transporter permits), proof of facility compliance with EPA or state environmental standards, and insurance minimums ranging from $1 million to $2 million per occurrence. Set-asides and local preferences appear in multiple solicitations: IDOT seeks 25% small business participation with price preferences; Pasco County applies local preference allowing Pasco and neighboring-county vendors to match the lowest bid within 10–5 percent thresholds; Caltrans offers small business and disabled veteran business enterprise incentives.
