UNSPSC 40141747: Grease trap

A receptacle designed to collect and retain grease and fatty substances normally found in kitchen or similar wastes; usually installed in the drainage system between the kitchen and the sewer.

UNSPSC 40141747 Grease trap, a Commodity code, encompasses pumping, cleaning, maintenance, and disposal services for grease traps, septic tanks, and related interceptor systems across state and local facilities. State and local buyers—primarily city and county departments, environmental service agencies, and water authorities—solicit these services through competitively sealed bids and RFPs to manage wastewater treatment infrastructure, food-service facilities, and municipal buildings. The scope ranges from routine scheduled maintenance at fixed locations to 24/7 emergency response with specified response times and drain-cleaning capabilities. Vendors typically bid on standardized rate sheets specifying labor rates, equipment fees, disposal charges, and mileage reimbursement, with contracts structured as either fixed-term agreements or indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity arrangements. Service providers must hold appropriate waste-transport permits, commercial licenses, and insurance; many jurisdictions require criminal background checks and prevailing-wage compliance.
