UNSPSC 41103401: Contamination control screens

UNSPSC 41103401 Contamination control screens (Commodity) encompasses hazardous waste pickup, transportation, testing, identification, and disposal services that state and local governments procure to manage illegally dumped materials, household hazardous waste, and hazardous materials collected from municipal departments and fire services. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing transportation and disposal of 75 or more waste types including aerosols, corrosive liquids and solids, flammable materials, pesticides, explosives, oxidizers, mercury-containing articles, batteries, cylinders, and lamps, typically bundled with identification, inventorying, packing, marking, labeling, and manifesting. Cities and counties issuing under the code include the City of Albuquerque, City of Tampa, Escambia County Department of Waste Services, City of Tucson, and Town of Berlin. Buyers require vendors to hold EPA Identification Numbers, current state hazardous waste transporter registrations, and compliance documentation with RCRA and state environmental regulations; comprehensive insurance with pollution liability ($1 million to $6 million per occurrence/aggregate) is standard. Typical contract terms run 12 to 36 months with renewal options, and most solicitations request unit pricing broken down by container type (5-gallon, 30-gallon, 55-gallon drums, cubic yard boxes) and waste category.
