UNSPSC 11141610: Leather waste or scrap

UNSPSC 11141610 Leather waste or scrap (Commodity) does not match the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The opportunities span irrigation system improvements, food waste recycling services, material processing and recycling equipment cooperative purchasing, waste-to-energy facility design-build-operate-maintain contracts, waste tire disposal, scrap metal removal, hazardous waste collection and disposal, and electronic waste recycling — none of which involve leather waste or leather scrap procurement or processing. The code shows a systematic mismatch between its nominal scope and the work actually being solicited by state and local issuing bodies.

The recent opportunities tagged to this code reflect a much broader waste management and recycling infrastructure focus across multiple issuing body types, including city departments of solid waste (City of Tampa, City of DeBary), county waste authorities (Fulton County Georgia, Marion County Florida, Pasco County Florida, Ventura County California, Palm Beach County), state corrections departments (Illinois Department of Corrections), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of participating Minnesota local government entities). Geographic activity spans Florida, Georgia, California, Illinois, Utah, and Minnesota over the past four months. Representative opportunities include waste tire disposal (City of Tampa, Pasco County Florida), scrap metal removal revenue-share contracts (Fulton County Georgia ITB 26ITB042126C-MH, Illinois Department of Corrections), hazardous waste collection and disposal (Marion County Florida ITB 26B-101), electronic waste recycling with revenue return to the county (County of Ventura RFB 6528), and large-scale infrastructure procurement such as the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's DDBOM waste-to-energy facility request for expressions of interest (RFEI 27-501, due November 18, 2026). Until the code assignment is corrected in the source data, vendors should not assume procurement opportunity alignment with leather waste markets.
