UNSPSC 76101604: Mold abatement service

The decontamination of mold in facilities owned by others

UNSPSC 76101604 Mold abatement service is a Commodity code covering the specialized labor, materials, and containment systems state and local governments procure to identify, contain, remediate, and clear mold contamination in buildings and facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers treating mold remediation as part of broader environmental abatement suites—often bundled with asbestos removal, lead paint abatement, and hazardous materials clearance—though standalone mold-only projects appear in the current activity block as well. State environmental protection departments, facilities commissions, colleges, state hospitals, public housing authorities, and city planning departments are the primary issuing bodies, with work ranging from walk-in refrigerators and building attics to multi-building campuses and flood-damaged courthouse facilities. The scope typically encompasses pre-remediation hazmat surveys, containment and containment removal, selective demolition of contaminated materials (drywall, insulation, flooring, framing), surface decontamination and antimicrobial treatment, thermal fogging for odor control, post-remediation clearance testing, and site restoration.

Representative recent opportunities include the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) soliciting mold remediation for a walk-in refrigerator at the Lewis A. Moran Reforestation Center near Davis (IFB 8CA07978, responses due July 23, 2026); the Texas Health and Human Services Commission requesting comprehensive mold remediation across seven rooms at Rusk State Hospital in East Texas (IFB HHS0017319, responses due June 9, 2026 with mandatory site visit); and Walker County Government, Georgia, seeking attic remediation and roof repair including mold abatement at the Walker County Courthouse in LaFayette (responses due June 23, 2026). Other concurrent activity includes the Texas Facilities Commission (RFP 0007615) pursuing multi-facility remediation and restoration services statewide with 24/7 emergency response capability, and the City of San Antonio (RFP 2026-042) establishing an indefinite-delivery contract for on-call asbestos and mold abatement across multiple city facilities. Work is dispersed across California, Texas, Georgia, Connecticut, Kentucky, and Colorado, with Texas and California showing the heaviest recent posting activity. Contractors must typically hold state licensing (C-61/D-64 or equivalent water/fire/mold remediation certification in California; TDLR licensure in Texas), comply with OSHA and EPA standards, maintain workers' compensation and general liability insurance in the $1–2 million range, and demonstrate minimum three to five years of relevant experience with verifiable references.
