UNSPSC 24101902: Drum grabs

UNSPSC 24101902 Drum grabs, a Commodity code, covers the supply and use of drums and drum-handling equipment for hazardous and non-hazardous waste containment and transport by state and local agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local procurement under this code focuses on DOT/UN-approved drums in standard sizes (30-gallon and 55-gallon) supplied as part of integrated hazardous waste removal, recycling, and disposal contracts. The drums function as the primary containment vessels within broader waste-management service agreements rather than as standalone equipment purchases. Issuing bodies are primarily transit authorities and waste-management-focused public agencies that handle multiple waste streams—used oil, antifreeze, filters, brake fluid, aerosol cans, and medical waste—requiring compliant drum supply and pickup logistics.

The Orange County Transportation Authority posted a representative RFQ (Solicitation 250459) on August 18, 2026, for removal and recycling/disposal of hazardous waste, oils, and fluids at five OCTA facilities across the Orange County region, with a one-year estimated contract value of $55,000. The solicitation explicitly requires the contractor to supply DOT/UN-approved drums in 30-gallon and 55-gallon sizes and manage quarterly reporting and documentation. The winning firm must hold current DTSC hazardous waste hauling registration, EPA authorization, and Hazardous Material License from the California Highway Patrol, with minimum pickup frequency every 90 days and on-demand service within five business days. Geographic activity under this code appears concentrated in California, particularly Southern California, where regulatory requirements and transit-agency waste volumes drive regular procurement. The source provides no evidence of activity in other states or jurisdictions.
