UNSPSC 42192805: Pharmaceutical decontamination and waste disposal products

A wide range of products that isolate or neutralize pharmaceutical remnants in a safe manner.

UNSPSC 42192805 Pharmaceutical decontamination and waste disposal products is a Commodity code that encompasses biomedical and pharmaceutical waste collection, transport, and disposal services procured by state and local health, safety, and environmental agencies. The code captures scheduled and emergency pickup of infectious waste—including sharps, contaminated personal protective equipment, needles, syringes, and other regulated medical waste—along with the supply of compliant disposal containers, transport manifests, and certificates of destruction. State and local governments procuring under this code include county health departments, fire rescue services, emergency management divisions, city environmental and public safety departments, and special-purpose districts managing multi-agency waste streams.

Recent activity spans Florida, Indiana, Georgia, and Texas. The City of Indianapolis and Marion County Purchasing Division solicited pickup, transport, and disposal of bio-hazardous medical waste across 70 city locations (RFB 11-EAL-215, due July 2, 2026), covering infectious waste from forensics, animal control, police, and fire departments with mandatory OSHA, EPA, CDC, and NHTSA compliance and 15% MBE, 8% WBE, 3% VBE, and 1% DOBE participation targets. The County of Volusia, Florida issued an ITB for biohazardous waste disposal services across 42 county collection points including fire stations, medical examiner facilities, and emergency services (ITB 26-B-13AK, due March 17, 2026), requiring three references and compliance with Davis-Bacon prevailing wage standards. The City of Orlando sought a biomedical waste management contractor for collection and disposal at 26 city locations including fire stations and police facilities with quarterly four-week pickup cycles (IFB 26-0363, due May 28, 2026), offering a three-year initial term plus two optional one-year renewals. Sarasota County, Florida procured sharps container pickup and disposal across 13 county facilities with an annual cost ceiling of $150,000 (IFQ 262805KR, due February 19, 2026). The code also captures ancillary first aid and medical supply procurement—the School Board of Pinellas County and the City of Tampa both solicited first aid supplies in early 2026—and household hazardous waste collection services, as reflected in the City of College Park's February 2026 solicitation for hazardous waste collection events.
