UNSPSC 20122201: Flare booms

UNSPSC 20122201 Flare booms is a Commodity code covering the equipment, materials, and services state and local governments procure for landfill gas combustion systems and related flare infrastructure. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses construction and upgrade of enclosed flare systems at sanitary landfills, including demolition of existing flare equipment, installation of new combustion apparatus, and associated piping, electrical, instrumentation, and control systems. Issuing bodies include county environmental authorities and state environmental services agencies. The work is capital-intensive, typically bundled as construction projects under competitive sealed bid or IFB processes.

Recent opportunities reflect activity in Maryland and Florida. Maryland Environmental Service posted a competitive sealed bid (Solicitation 1274025) on June 16, 2026 for construction of a new enclosed flare system and demolition of existing flares at the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill in Upper Marlboro, with bids due July 16, 2026 and a 20% Minority Business Enterprise participation goal. Collier County, Florida solicited improvements to water well infrastructure (Bid 25-8418, due October 8, 2025) that included pump, motor, piping, electrical, and instrumentation work; while the scope does not clearly align with flare boom equipment, the county posting was tagged to this code. The Maryland landfill flare project represents the more direct match to the code's scope.
