UNSPSC 76101603: Lead based paint abatement or encapsulation

The removal or encapsulation of lead based paint from facilities owned by others

UNSPSC 76101603 Lead based paint abatement or encapsulation, a Commodity code, covers identification, testing, inspection, risk assessment, and removal or encapsulation of lead-based paint hazards in residential and commercial structures, with recent state and local opportunities spanning testing services, full abatement and remediation work, hazard reduction across public housing portfolios, and facility renovation projects requiring lead abatement as an enabling phase. Cities, counties, school districts, and public housing authorities are the primary issuing bodies, with repeat activity from the City of Lubbock Community Development Department (CDBG-funded single-family residential inspections and risk assessments), housing authorities, and departments of water resources managing lead-safe work practice supplies and post-abatement clearance testing.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida, Connecticut, Texas, and California, with recent notable solicitations including the City of Ocala RFQ for asbestos, mold, and lead-based paint testing services (RFQ GRM/261194, due October 12, 2026), the City of St. Petersburg IFB for lead safety equipment and materials to support its Lead Reduction Program (IFB-26-307, due October 13, 2026 at 3:00 PM), the Housing Authority of Hartford RFP for PHA-wide lead-based paint abatement and hazard reduction (RFP #2026-603, due July 16, 2026), and the City of Norwich ITB for lead paint hazard control services (ITB 27-30, due October 9, 2026 at 4:00 PM EDT). The code shows consistent demand for CDBG-funded lead inspection and risk assessment work at individual residential properties, particularly in Texas, and for larger-scale abatement and remediation scopes embedded in school renovation, government facility, and housing authority modernization projects. Testing and inspection work typically requires state licensure and EPA or equivalent certifications; abatement work mandates full lead-abatement licensing and often triggers prevailing wage and bonding requirements. Recent opportunities emphasize turnkey service delivery (inspection-to-clearance within defined windows), as-needed contracting models, and compliance with federal lead-safe work practice standards under 24 CFR 35 and EPA 40 CFR 745.
