UNSPSC 24121809: Drum scraping machine

The purpose of this machine is to scrape the drums made up of usually steel or plastic etc.

UNSPSC 24121809 Drum scraping machine is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local procurement activity, does not align with actual buying patterns under this designation. The Orange County Transportation Authority's August 2026 solicitation tagged to this code (Solicitation 250459) requests removal, recycling, and disposal of hazardous waste streams—used oils, antifreeze, filters, brake fluid, aerosol cans, and medical waste—across five transit facilities, with an estimated contract value of $55,000 for a one-year term. This scope involves hazardous-waste logistics, regulatory compliance, and fleet management services rather than drum-scraping machinery or equipment. The mismatch between the code's nominal product (a drum scraping machine) and the actual work being solicited (hazardous-waste removal and disposal services) suggests the code receives minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement.

The single recent opportunity on file is from Orange County Transportation Authority, a regional transit authority in California. The work requires contractors to hold California Department of Toxic Substance Control registration, EPA identification numbers, California Highway Patrol hazardous-material licensure, and substantial pollution liability insurance ($2 million to $8 million in aggregate depending on facility type). Pickups must occur at minimum every 90 days and within 5 business days of request, with destination facilities preapproved by the Authority and preference given to California-based recycling or disposal locations. Award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible firm under a time-and-expense contract; firms must quote all line items or be deemed non-responsive. Questions were due August 4, 2026, and responses received an addendum by August 11, 2026. This code shows little relevant recent activity for firms pursuing equipment or machinery sales in state and local procurement.
