UNSPSC 76101605 Carbon based filtration and decontamination service is a Commodity code that captures procurement of activated-carbon decontamination kits, supplies, and disposal services for hazardous waste and environmental remediation. State and local governments buying under this code are acquiring portable decontamination equipment (activated-carbon composite wipes, mitts, kits, and pressurized decon kegs), hazardous and non-hazardous waste removal and disposal with full compliance documentation, biosafety equipment certification and decontamination for regulated laboratory facilities, and pesticide waste collection and disposal event services. Issuing bodies span county governments, municipal departments, and state agencies—Okaloosa County procured decontamination kit supplies; the City of Tampa requested hazardous waste pickup and transport services; Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center El Paso solicited ABSL3 facility decontamination and equipment certification; and the Texas Department of Agriculture requested pesticide disposal event coordination. Collier County in Florida sought biosolids hauling and disposal, and the City of Sandy Springs, Georgia solicited comprehensive planning services (though this posting contained misdirected scope descriptions). Work ranges from point-of-use decontamination supplies for emergency response to large-scale remediation and certified disposal of industrial and laboratory waste streams.
