UNSPSC 47121710: Food waste meter

Equipment which measures food waste, some of them are equipped with communcation devices, differenciating it from regular food waste bin

UNSPSC 47121710 Food waste meter is a Commodity code that sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code do not address food waste metering at all; instead, they span scrap metal removal, hazardous waste disposal, e-waste and electronics recycling, yard waste transportation, and tire management services. None of these solicitations involve food waste measurement, monitoring, or metering equipment or services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured under this classification suggests the code either is rarely used by state and local buyers for its intended purpose, or procurement offices are tagging these waste-stream and recycling activities to an incorrect UNSPSC category. No decision-relevant procurement signal emerges from the available data.

The issuing bodies across the tagged opportunities span county purchasing departments (Fulton County, Georgia; Marion County, Florida; Pasco County, Florida; Ventura County, California; Sacramento County, California), state departments (Illinois Department of Corrections), and municipal procurement offices (City of Tucson; City of Detroit; City of Norwalk; City of DeBary). The geographic spread covers Florida, Georgia, Illinois, California, Connecticut, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include Fulton County, Georgia's ITB for scrap metal removal due July 28, 2026; Marion County, Florida's ITB for hazardous waste disposal due July 16, 2026; and Ventura County's RFB for metal recycling due June 24, 2026. None of these activities correspond to food waste metering or measurement systems.
