UNSPSC 76101600: Hazardous material decontamination

UNSPSC 76101600 Hazardous material decontamination is a Class code encompassing the removal, treatment, and safe disposal of hazardous materials from contaminated sites, structures, and environmental media. State and local governments procure under this code to manage lead-based paint abatement, asbestos removal, biohazard cleanup, petroleum product disposal, pharmaceutical destruction, pesticide collection and disposal, contaminated soil excavation and remediation, and decontamination of firing ranges, hazardous waste facilities, and other specialized environments. Issuing bodies span state environmental and transportation agencies, county health and utilities departments, municipal fire and public works divisions, school districts, housing authorities, and special-purpose districts. The Texas Department of Agriculture, Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and Florida Department of Transportation appear as repeat solicitors. Work is distributed across state capitals and major metropolitan areas—Austin, Houston, and San Antonio in Texas; Atlanta; Las Vegas; Jacksonville and Tampa in Florida; Phoenix; and scattered smaller municipalities—with concentrated recent activity in Texas, Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, and Oregon.

Recent opportunities illustrate the scope and issuing-body mix. The Texas Department of Agriculture posted RFP 5510000952 (due August 17, 2026) for pesticide disposal events managing 10,000 to 300,000 pounds of pesticide waste annually with per-pound pricing and mandatory NIST cybersecurity and data encryption compliance. The City of Atlanta issued a multi-step sealed bid for environmental remediation at the Chattahoochee Brick Company site (due July 31, 2026, estimated $2.23 million) covering excavation and off-site disposal of approximately 3,800 cubic yards of lead-, cadmium-, and PCB-contaminated soils under a Federal Bipartisan Infrastructure Law EPA Brownfield Cleanup Grant with Davis-Bacon prevailing-wage requirements. Granite School District, Utah solicited bids for complete asbestos abatement and demolition of West Kearns Elementary School (IFB, due June 25, 2026) with identified chrysotile asbestos at 0.25% to 20% content across vinyl flooring, carpet mastic, and window glazing totaling approximately 65,000 square feet. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (RFP, due August 11, 2026) seeks statewide environmental mitigation and remediation services on an as-needed basis—including spill stabilization, waste characterization, removal and containerization, and alternative drinking water sourcing—with four service categories and specialized expertise requirements in mining and environmental engineering. Clayton County, Georgia issued RFP #26-64 (due June 4, 2026) for debris removal services with 135 line-item cost categories spanning emergency road clearing, household hazardous waste handling, and temporary debris staging and reduction sites. The volume, geographic spread, and diversity of issuing bodies indicate steady, multi-year demand for hazardous material decontamination across state infrastructure, public housing, educational facilities, and environmental remediation programs, with recent opportunities weighted toward larger projects ($500,000 and above) and contract terms extending three to five years with renewal options.
