UNSPSC 76100000: Decontamination services

UNSPSC 76100000 Decontamination services is a Family code encompassing the removal, remediation, and safe disposal of hazardous materials, contaminated sites, and environmental pollutants across state and local infrastructure. State and local governments procure under this code for asbestos abatement, lead remediation, mold removal, hazardous waste cleanup, leachate disposal, petroleum spill response, environmental site assessments, and remedial design—ranging from emergency response to planned facility decontamination and brownfield site investigation. Issuing bodies span state environmental protection and health departments, county solid waste and environmental services divisions, cities, universities, housing authorities, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations show repeat activity from Hillsborough County (Florida) on leachate disposal, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment on hazardous waste and Superfund Five-Year Reviews, and the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection on remedial investigation and design. The work frequently involves licensed professionals—environmental engineers, Licensed Site Remediation Professionals, certified asbestos and lead contractors—and compliance with state and federal environmental regulations including RCRA, EPA guidelines, OSHA HAZWOPER, and state-specific contamination rules.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Hillsborough County leachate contracts, Palm Bay pond improvements, St. Petersburg spill response, Broward County environmental consulting), Colorado (CDPHE hazardous waste and Five-Year Reviews), New Hampshire (Mount Washington soil and groundwater sampling, stream restoration planning, environmental consulting RFQ), New Jersey (NJDEP remedial investigation and design), Pennsylvania (Penn Western University asbestos and lead abatement, Northampton County Housing Authority lead remediation), and scattered single-jurisdiction procurements in Arizona, Texas, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Maine. Representative recent opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB for pumping, transportation, and disposal of leachate (estimated $14.28 million over three years, bids due October 14, 2026); the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's sole-source procurement with Clean Harbors Environmental Services for hazardous waste removal (estimated $200,000 over five years, responses due August 27, 2026); the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection's RFQ for remedial investigation and design services (quotes due November 20, 2026); and Santa Clara County's RFP for a subregional shoreline adaptation plan addressing sea level rise risk assessment across six participating cities (proposals due November 6, 2026). The code shows steady state and local procurement activity with entry barriers tied to environmental licensing, OSHA certifications, and demonstrated remediation experience.
