UNSPSC 27112910: Portable waste oil storage

A type of equipment for temporary storage of waste oil of vehicle engine or transmission at motor repair shops.

UNSPSC 27112910 Portable waste oil storage (Commodity) describes what state and local governments actually purchase under this code based on recent solicitations: waste and refuse management services, including solid waste collection and disposal, hazardous and bio-hazardous waste management, and waste tire pickup and processing. The code captures ongoing disposal and management operations rather than storage equipment alone. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code span cities, counties, and special-purpose districts. The City of Fairburn, Georgia recently sought commercial sanitation services (trash, recyclables, and construction debris collection); Maricopa County Community College District requested hazardous, non-hazardous, medical, chemical, and bio-hazardous waste disposal services; Harris County, Texas issued an ITB for waste management and refuse removal; and Pasco County, Florida procured waste tire management services. These jurisdictions represent a mix of municipal, county, and educational authorities, all managing district-wide or countywide waste streams on an as-needed or recurring basis.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and South, with Georgia, Arizona, Texas, and Florida each posting opportunities within the past four months. The City of Fairburn's RFP 26-010 for commercial sanitation services closed on September 14, 2026, requiring five years of prior contract experience and all-inclusive flat-rate pricing with no additional surcharges. Harris County's ITB for waste management services (posted May 22, 2026; due June 15, 2026) covered container furnishing, delivery, installation, and maintenance across multiple locations with M/WBE participation goals and a January 1, 2027 start date; the contract includes liquidated damages for missed collections and a $21.65-per-hour minimum wage requirement. Pasco County's as-needed waste tire management IFB (posted May 21, 2026; due June 23, 2026) sought Florida-licensed vendors to manage approximately 1,000 tons of waste tires annually from two county collection sites, with pricing on a per-ton basis and a contract term running through September 30, 2029 with two optional one-year extensions. Pasco County applied a local preference provision allowing qualified local bidders to match the lowest bid within 10 or 5 percent depending on award value.
