UNSPSC 47121713: Chemotherapy waste containers

Chemotherapy waste containers are specially designed containers used for the safe disposal of chemotherapy waste materials. Chemotherapy waste refers to any waste generated during the preparation, administration, and disposal of chemotherapy drugs, which are used in the treatment of cancer and other diseases.

UNSPSC 47121713 Chemotherapy waste containers (Commodity) describes hazardous medical-waste collection and disposal infrastructure and services, though recent state and local activity under this code spans a broader scope of biomedical and biological waste management rather than chemotherapy containers specifically. State and local governments are soliciting pickup, transport, containment, and disposal services for infectious waste generated across fire stations, police facilities, emergency services, animal care operations, environmental convenience centers, and transit facilities. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (Indianapolis, Orlando), county environmental and public health departments (Clay County, Collier County, Boulder County), independent school districts, state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), and regional transit authorities. The mix reflects demand from both dedicated hazardous-waste management operators and municipalities managing biomedical waste as an ancillary operational cost across multiple agency types.

Recent opportunities show activity across Florida, Indiana, Colorado, and Washington. The City of Indianapolis and Marion County Purchasing Division posted an IFB for pickup, transport, and disposal of bio-hazardous medical waste from approximately 70 citywide locations including fire stations and emergency services (RFB-11EAL-215, due July 2, 2026); the incumbent contractor is GFL Environmental Services USA, Inc., with mandatory participation targets of 15% MBE, 8% WBE, 3% VBE, and 1% DOBE. The City of Orlando issued an IFB for biomedical waste collection and disposal services from 26 fire stations, police facilities, and emergency services divisions with scheduled pickups every four weeks (IFB26-0363, due May 28, 2026). Clay County Board of County Commissioners solicited grapple and roll-off container services for environmental convenience centers and waste management facilities (RFB 25-26110, due September 3, 2026). Boulder County Public Health posted an RFP for harm reduction supplies vendors covering injection, smoking, and wound-care products (RFP PHI00326, due September 11, 2026). Collier County Board of County Commissioners requested bids for transit shelters and amenities including waste containers as part of a federally funded procurement under ITB 25-8571 (due August 26, 2026).
