UNSPSC 57020000: Services related to humanitarian relief actions

This family describes services related to humanitarian relief actions.

UNSPSC 57020000 Services related to humanitarian relief actions (Family) encompasses portable sanitation equipment rentals, disaster debris removal and monitoring, emergency catering, logistics coordination, and facility restoration services that state and local governments activate following hurricanes, flooding, storms, and other declared disasters. The code captures both pre-event standby contracts and post-event task-order work, with pricing structured as unit rates, hourly labor costs, or fixed fees tied to FEMA Public Assistance reimbursement eligibility and federal compliance requirements including Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wages, 2 CFR Part 200 cost principles, and debarment certification.

State and local issuing bodies under this code span cities, counties, special-purpose districts, and utility cooperatives across the Southeast, Texas, and Midwest, with heavy concentration in Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, and Texas. The City of Austin, Seminole County Florida, Macon-Bibb County Georgia, and Dorchester County South Carolina post repeatedly for debris removal, monitoring, and recovery services. Recent representative opportunities include the City of Austin's IFB 5000 ACA1012 REBID (posted October 12, 2026; bids due November 3, 2026) for portable toilet and shower rental on annual, monthly, weekly, or daily basis with federal FEMA funding and local-business preference discounts; Macon-Bibb County's RFP 27-010-LH for pre-event and post-event debris removal services (proposals due September 10, 2026) covering emergency road clearance, temporary debris staging site operations, hazardous tree removal, and household hazardous waste handling; Liberty County Georgia's standby contract for disaster logistics support (proposals due June 30, 2026) requiring rapid deployment of base camps, resource procurement, and Point of Distribution operations within 12 hours of notification; and Harris County Texas's RFP 260066 (proposals due June 8, 2026) for emergency debris removal and management across 1,777 square miles with mandatory M/WBE utilization goals and estimated annual expenditures of approximately $50 million. Opportunities under this code show consistent FEMA funding sources, federal compliance language, and emphasis on mobilization speed and documented chain-of-custody for debris and cost recovery.
