UNSPSC 76101601: Radioactive decontamination services

UNSPSC 76101601 Radioactive decontamination services (Commodity) encompasses hazardous waste site response, environmental remediation, and specialized cleaning and decontamination work that state and local governments solicit under this code—though recent opportunities tagged with this code show a mix of genuinely hazardous-material work and tangential environmental services. The Georgia Department of Natural Resources is soliciting up to eight contractors for hazardous waste site response and remediation across the state through an eRFQ with proposals due April 16, 2026, and the Colorado Department of Labor and Employment is seeking multiple petroleum-remediation contractors to address leaking underground storage tanks statewide, with a March 30, 2026 proposal deadline and up to eight contract awards anticipated. The issuing-body mix includes state environmental and natural-resources departments (Georgia DNR, Colorado OPS), state purchasing offices (Georgia), and municipal utility and public-works departments. Issuing bodies span multiple states and jurisdictions, with recent activity in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Connecticut, Arizona, Colorado, and Georgia, reflecting geographically dispersed procurement demand driven by environmental compliance, emergency response, and facility maintenance priorities.

Recent opportunities show state and local governments purchasing environmental remediation services for contaminated sites, petroleum-storage-tank cleanups, sewer-system solids removal and dewatering, biosolids hauling and disposal, biohazard and medical-waste cleanup, and emergency restoration—services extending beyond classic radioactive decontamination into the broader hazardous-materials-management space. The Colorado LUST remediation contract requires Colorado Registered Environmental Professional certification, $5 million Environmental Impairment Liability insurance, and twelve-hour emergency-response capability statewide; the Georgia hazardous-waste contract will assign task orders based on specialized expertise or general-rotation; and the Charlotte Water sewer-cleaning procurement (RFP FY27-RFP-04, due May 8, 2026) seeks unit-priced services for cleaning 9,813 linear feet of accumulated solids and sediment with CCTV inspection and contaminated-sediment dewatering and disposal. Smaller municipalities and utilities also solicit under related codes—Collier County's biosolids-hauling RFP (25-8403R, due May 7, 2026) budgets approximately $3.7 million annually across five facilities. Set-aside and preference programs vary by jurisdiction; Colorado and Georgia encourage M/WBE and small-business participation; Charlotte applies its Business INClusion (CBI) Program favoring MWSBE certified firms; and the Town of Manchester (Connecticut) imposes living-wage ordinance compliance. Most contracts require comprehensive environmental liability, workers' compensation, and general liability insurance; OSHA certification or training; and demonstrated experience with hazardous materials, emergency response, or specialized waste handling.
