UNSPSC 47131907: Absorbent booms

UNSPSC 47131907 Absorbent booms, a Commodity code, does not reflect the work actually being solicited under this code number in recent state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span indoor air quality services, activated carbon for groundwater remediation, hazardous waste disposal, custodial and janitorial supplies, household hazardous waste collection, used oil recycling, and floor pads—none of which involve absorbent booms or spill containment. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or incorrectly across multiple jurisdictions. Issuing bodies include school districts (Pinellas County School District, Cobb County School District, Northside Independent School District, Dougherty County School System), counties (City of Tucson, Escambia County, Waukesha County, Pasco County), and municipal departments (City of Tampa, Hillsborough County Fire Rescue). No representative solicitations in the recent-opportunities block target absorbent booms, spill containment systems, or related environmental remediation equipment that would logically align with the code's stated scope.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Pinellas, Escambia, Hillsborough, Pasco), Arizona (Tucson), Texas (San Antonio), Georgia (Albany), and Wisconsin (Waukesha). Because the opportunities do not match the code's nominal commodity definition, the recent-opportunities block provides no actionable signals for firms pursuing work in absorbent boom supply or spill-response product lines. Practitioners should verify UNSPSC coding accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities under this code or consider whether the code itself may be maintained incorrectly in the state or local procurement systems where it appears.
