UNSPSC 76101604: Mold abatement service

The decontamination of mold in facilities owned by others

UNSPSC 76101604 Mold abatement service, a Commodity code, covers identification, testing, containment, and removal of mold-affected materials in residential and commercial facilities, with scope extending to asbestos and lead-based paint assessment and remediation where mold risk coexists. State and local governments are actively soliciting mold abatement work alongside related environmental remediation services, often bundling it with asbestos removal, water damage restoration, and indoor air quality investigation. Recent opportunities reflect testing and remediation demand across municipal departments, school districts, hospital facilities, and county governments; the code shows particular activity in Florida and Georgia jurisdictions and among educational and healthcare operators managing facility compliance and environmental liability.

Issuing bodies span cities (Ocala, St. Petersburg, Savannah, Detroit, Dallas), county and regional governments (Pinellas County Schools, DeKalb County, Fulton County, Walworth County), state health and mental health facilities (Clifton T. Perkins Hospital Center in Maryland, Elgin Mental Health Center in Illinois), and independent school districts (Laredo ISD). The City of Ocala's RFQ GRM/261194 for Asbestos, Mold, and Lead-Based Paint Testing Services (response due October 12, 2026—passed) required Florida state licensure and three years' experience, with unit-price bidding on 15–25 structures annually and a two-year initial term. Pinellas County School District's ITB 26-CD-039 for Indoor Air Quality Services (responses due November 6, 2026, mandatory pre-bid October 28, 2026) mandated in-house laboratory capability within 25 miles of Largo, Florida; no subcontracting; and estimated contract value of approximately $100,000 with a December 16, 2026 start. The City of Norwich, Connecticut solicited proposals for Greeneville Fire House Mold Remediation (proposals due November 5, 2026), emphasizing underlying moisture remediation rather than cosmetic treatment. Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Florida (Ocala, St. Petersburg, Pinellas County), Georgia (DeKalb, Fulton, Savannah, Walker County), Connecticut, and Maryland, with scattered recent activity in Texas, Kentucky, Illinois, and New England. Most opportunities require state or local licensing, proof of liability and workers' compensation insurance, and compliance with IICRC standards (S500 water damage, S520 mold remediation); emergency response and disaster-recovery bundling is common, particularly among county and municipal emergency-services procurement.
