UNSPSC 47131905: Spill kits

UNSPSC 47131905 Spill kits is a Commodity code that reflects state and local government purchasing of hazardous-waste collection, transportation, and disposal services rather than spill-containment kits per se. Recent solicitations show that jurisdictions use this code to procure activated carbon for remediation systems, household hazardous-waste pickup and disposal, industrial hazardous-waste transport and manifesting, and used-oil and antifreeze recycling collection. The work spans environmental remediation (activated carbon vessel exchange and spent-material removal), emergency and routine hazardous-waste collection from public drop-off programs and municipal facilities, and compliance-driven disposal at approved facilities. Issuing bodies include county environmental and waste-management departments, municipalities, school districts, and county commissioners' offices. Vendors must hold EPA identification numbers, state hazardous-waste transporter registrations, Florida business licenses (where applicable), and comprehensive insurance including pollution liability and environmental-hazard coverage; subcontracting is restricted or prohibited in most cases.

Opportunities concentrate in Florida and the Southwest, with recent activity in Pinellas County, Hillsborough County, Escambia County, and Pasco County (Florida), the City of Tucson (Arizona), the City of Tampa (Florida), and Waukesha County (Wisconsin). The City of Tucson's activated-carbon remediation contract (RFP 270137, due September 23, 2026) covers groundwater pump-and-treat and soil-vapor extraction systems removing VOCs, PFAS, and chlorinated solvents, with the city maintaining multiple activated-carbon vessels requiring approximately three annual changeouts of the primary 20,000-pound system. Escambia County's household hazardous-waste disposal ITB (PD2526101, due August 6, 2026) requests pickup and transport from a single landfill facility, with typical demand of 2 to 6 collections annually. The City of Tampa's RFQ (26P00544, due September 11, 2026) covers pickup, transport, identification, and disposal of 76 line items spanning aerosols, corrosive liquids and solids, flammable materials, pesticides, and batteries, requiring 36- to 48-hour response times. These opportunities typically award to single or multiple vendors on as-needed or annual-requirements basis with one-year to three-year terms.
