UNSPSC 47101529: Incinerators

UNSPSC 47101529 Incinerators is a Commodity code that describes equipment and installation services for waste disposal systems, but the recent state and local activity under this code reveals significant misalignment between the nominal scope and what is actually being procured. Henry County, Georgia has posted two nearly identical IFB notices (solicitation numbers PE67500NONST2027000000174 and 2712) for removal of an existing incinerator and furnishing, delivery, installation, testing, and commissioning of a new incinerator for its Animal Care and Control facility, with bids due September 24, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively. The new unit must process approximately 9,000 pounds of animal remains monthly (cats, dogs, wildlife, police evidence, and controlled substances) and comply with EPA, CFR, OSHA, Georgia EPD, and state regulations. The scope includes site demolition of the existing Therm-Tec Model G-16-P unit, training for county personnel, bi-annual maintenance plans, one-year parts and labor warranty, and two-year paint warranty. Bidders must hold current Georgia general contractor licensing, obtain all necessary permits, provide performance and payment bonds equal to 100% of the bid amount, and carry workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1 million per occurrence / $2 million aggregate), and automobile liability ($1 million combined single limit). The remaining three opportunities in the dataset—City of Holly Hill's drive shaft replacement for a water treatment plant softener, Eastern Municipal Water District's anaerobic digester cleaning and dewatering services, and Harrison County Utility Authority's anaerobic sludge removal—are unrelated to incinerator procurement and appear to be miscoded under this UNSPSC category.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity. Henry County, Georgia is the only repeat buyer for equipment aligned with the incinerator classification, appearing twice for the same Animal Care and Control facility procurement with a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit on September 3, 2026 at 527 Hampton Street, McDonough, Georgia. The county has established a zero percent DBE participation goal but requires good faith efforts to utilize certified small, local, veteran-owned, and minority or woman-owned businesses. Questions for clarification were due September 10, 2026 at 3:00 p.m., with addenda posted by September 17, 2026. No estimated contract value is disclosed. The geographic concentration is limited to Georgia based on recent solicitations; the other opportunities posted do not represent incinerator procurement despite being tagged under this code.
