UNSPSC 72154054: Catalyst loading or removal service

Loading and removing of catalyst from equipment or vessels

UNSPSC 72154054 Catalyst loading or removal service is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure under this code primarily cleanup and remediation services for contaminated sites, hazardous materials disposal, and environmental response work — including pesticide disposal events, pharmaceutical destruction, asbestos and mold abatement, biohazard decontamination, and removal of petroleum-contaminated materials and debris. The recent opportunities show state environmental agencies, county and city procurement offices, school districts, and special-purpose authorities as the primary buyers. Texas emerges as the most active jurisdiction, with solicitations from the Texas Department of Agriculture, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and Texas Facilities Commission, followed by activity in Georgia, Florida, and Oregon. Work scopes range from single-event services (pesticide disposal collection events) to comprehensive five-year remediation and on-call contracts encompassing site assessment, remediation design, disposal oversight, and clearance certification.

Representative recent opportunities illustrate the scope. The Texas Department of Agriculture seeks proposals for pesticide disposal event services with capacity to handle 10,000 to 300,000 pounds of waste across 2-3 annual events, with pricing due August 17, 2026 and a mandatory VetHUB subcontracting plan requirement (RFP 5510000952). The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection solicited statewide as-needed environmental mitigation, assessment, and remediation services across four service categories — site assessment, remediation, chlorinated solvent sites, and abandoned mine lands — with proposals due August 11, 2026 and a four-year initial term beginning January 1, 2027 (RFQ 70CNRS3900). The City of Atlanta issued a multi-step sealed bid process for environmental remediation at the Chattahoochee Brick Company site, a 75.4-acre brownfield contaminated with lead, cadmium, benzene, and PCBs, with an estimated $2.23 million contract value and a 35 percent SBE participation goal (RFP PE66062NONST2026000000351). Clayton County, Georgia released an RFP for debris removal services covering emergency road clearance, hazardous tree removal, household hazardous waste handling, and temporary debris staging site operations, with proposals due June 4, 2026 and an annual contract mechanism with renewal options (RFP #26-64). The code shows sustained procurement activity driven by environmental compliance obligations, emergency response needs, and federal grant requirements (EPA Brownfields, FEMA disaster relief, and state environmental fund programs).
