UNSPSC 46111504: Abandoned Explosive Ordnance AXO

Explosive ordnance that has not been used during an armed conflict, that has been left behind or dumped by a party to an armed conflict, and which is no longer under control of the party that left it behind or dumped it. Abandoned explosive ordnance may or may not have been primed, fused, armed or otherwise prepared for use.

UNSPSC 46111504 Abandoned Explosive Ordnance AXO, a Commodity code, addresses the detection, identification, and disposal of unexploded ordnance and related hazardous materials at state and local sites. State and local governments procure these services when land designated for development, remediation, or public use requires clearance of potential explosive hazards left from historical military activity, training operations, or other sources. The work typically involves site surveys, ordnance detection and identification, safe removal or in-place neutralization, and documentation of cleared areas. Issuing bodies include state environmental and natural resources departments, county and municipal public works and facilities departments, and special-purpose districts managing public lands or infrastructure corridors.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under this code, and no geographic concentration, issuing-body repeat patterns, or representative solicitations are available for analysis. When activity does emerge under this code, it typically clusters in regions with historical military installations, training ranges, or significant ground-disturbed projects; however, current posted opportunities do not support a geographic or temporal characterization at this time.
