UNSPSC 46111506: Unexploded ordnance UXO

Explosive ordnance EO that has been primed, fused, armed or otherwise prepared for use or used. It may have been fired, dropped, launched or projected yet remains unexploded either through malfunction or design or for any other reason.

UNSPSC 46111506 Unexploded ordnance UXO is a Commodity code that addresses detection, identification, and disposal services for explosive devices and ordnance that pose immediate public safety risks in civilian jurisdictions. State and local governments procure these services when military ranges, training areas, construction sites, or contaminated properties require professional UXO clearance before development, remediation, or public use can proceed. The work involves specialized personnel conducting site surveys, employing detection equipment, and executing safe removal or in-place neutralization of ordnance and fragmentary material. Issuing bodies are typically state environmental or public safety departments, county facilities management offices, and municipalities undertaking brownfield remediation or infrastructure projects on historically military or training land. School districts and transit authorities have solicited UXO services when capital projects intersect contaminated sites.

The source provides no recent state and local solicitation records under this code. Without posted opportunities naming issuing bodies, response dates, or geographic activity, current market momentum and jurisdiction concentration cannot be assessed from available data. Firms tracking this code should monitor state environmental agency RFQs and municipal IFBs tied to site remediation and construction projects on former military or training property, and maintain relationships with state historic preservation and public works offices that coordinate UXO clearance as part of larger capital programs.
