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 the inspection, testing, removal, and containment of lead-based paint hazards in residential, commercial, and institutional buildings — work that state and local governments are actively procuring through CDBG-funded housing rehabilitation programs, school facility projects, public housing authorities, and general building renovation initiatives. Recent solicitations show demand across the full spectrum: one-off residential lead inspections and risk assessments costing a few thousand dollars each, to larger abatement and remediation contracts at schools and public facilities, to specialized consulting and on-call services agreements covering multiple jurisdictions.

The issuing-body mix is broad and shifting. The City of Lubbock (Texas) Community Development Department dominates the recent opportunities block with over a dozen individual CDBG-funded lead inspection and risk assessment ITBs for single-family homes, all with tight ten-to-fourteen-day bidding windows and sealed-bid formats, typically due in early morning windows (4:00 p.m. CST bids, 8:30 a.m. CST openings). Beyond Lubbock, housing authorities (Hartford, Connecticut and Denver, Colorado) are posting PHA-wide abatement and hazard reduction RFPs; school districts (Fulton County Schools in Georgia, School District U-46 in Illinois, Stamford and Bridgeport in Connecticut, Newnan in Georgia) are issuing RFPs and ITBs for comprehensive abatement, consulting, and environmental testing services tied to facility renovation and capital improvement projects. State agencies including Caltrans (California) and CalVet (California) are soliciting abatement testing and post-remediation clearance services; counties (DeKalb and Rockland in New York) are establishing qualified supplier lists and on-call agreements; cities (Dallas, Waxahachie, Union City) are procuring on-call or project-based abatement and demolition services, often bundled with broader environmental remediation or building repair scopes. A Rockland County RFP explicitly requires full lead abatement rather than encapsulation, a material scope distinction that has appeared in multiple recent opportunities.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Texas (particularly Lubbock and the Dallas-Fort Worth corridor), Connecticut (Hartford, New Canaan, Bridgeport, Stamford, Norwich), California (Caltrans and CalVet across multiple counties including San Joaquin, Yolo, Los Angeles), and Georgia (Atlanta Public Schools, Fulton County Schools, DeKalb County, Newnan). Colorado, Illinois, Florida, Maryland, and North Carolina each show one or two recent opportunities. The recent opportunities span inspection-only work (Lubbock's single-family CDBG inspections, posted on rolling basis), mid-market abatement projects with lead and asbestos removal (Waxahachie at $400,000+ estimated, Larsen Middle School in Illinois, Copper Door facility in Boulder), and large system contracts (Rockland County's open-enrollment QSL, Caltrans' multiple district-level agreements, Fulton County Schools' task-order consulting agreement with initial term through June 2027 and four optional renewals). A sample of representative opportunities: Rockland County Department of Community Development's RFP (RFPRC2024055A, due July 9, 2026) for full lead abatement and remediation under a qualified supplier list for rental units under its Lead Prevention Pilot Program; the Housing Authority of the City of Hartford's RFP #2026-603 (due July 16, 2026) for PHA-wide abatement and hazard reduction; the California Department of Transportation's IFPQ 10A2873 (due April 24, 2026, restricted to certified small businesses, micro businesses, or DVBEs) for asbestos and lead abatement at the District 10 Materials Lab in Stockton; and the City of Dallas's RFCSP CIZ25FRM3213 (due April 24, 2026) for Job Order Contracting environmental remediation services (asbestos, mold, lead, industrial waste) with aspirational 30 percent SBE utilization goals and maximum aggregate value of $15,000,000 across multiple awardees. Bidding timelines vary from ten days for Lubbock's rolling ITBs to four to six weeks for larger RFPs and design-heavy consulting agreements.
