UNSPSC 25101936: Vacuum truck

A vehicle that removes waste substances and sedimentation within the sewer pipe in vacuuming and absorbing into the sludge tank for vehicle and washing with high water pressure on various sedimentary and residue in the sewer pipes for flawless drainage.

UNSPSC 25101936 Vacuum truck is a Commodity code that covers the hauling and transport of liquid wastes and sludge from treatment facilities and municipal pump stations to disposal sites. State and local governments procure vacuum truck services to manage wastewater byproducts, grease and grit removal, and specialized liquid waste transport under this code. The most active issuing bodies are municipal water and environmental authorities (wastewater treatment operators, environmental service districts) and county public works departments. The Maryland Environmental Service has posted multiple sludge-hauling opportunities under this code, indicating sustained activity in that jurisdiction; beyond Maryland, the code shows limited recent state and local procurement visibility in the available records.

Maryland Environmental Service issued two recent competitive sealed bid solicitations for liquid sludge hauling services: one in May 2026 (Solicitation 1262665) covering hauling from four wastewater treatment plants in Washington and Frederick Counties with an estimated annual volume of approximately 586,000 gallons, a Small Business Reserve designation limiting award to certified small businesses, and responses due June 29, 2026; and another in April 2026 (Solicitation 1262625) for six central-region facility WWTPs with an estimated annual volume of 309,000 gallons and a May 26, 2026 response deadline. Both solicitations structure compensation on a per-gallon unit-price basis, require bidders to hold five years of documented liquid waste hauling experience and pertinent county permits, impose strict regulatory compliance obligations under COMAR and federal standards, and provide for one-year initial terms with MES holding unilateral renewal rights for four additional option years. These procurements represent the primary recent opportunities visible under the code; activity outside Maryland is not supported by the source material.
