UNSPSC 76121507: Post event refuse collection and clean up service

Collection of public litter and associated cleaning services for indoor or outdoor venues after major sporting or cultural events.

UNSPSC 76121507 Post event refuse collection and clean up service is a Commodity code that maps poorly to what state and local governments are actually buying under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code cover mainstream refuse and trash removal, disposal, and container rental services—not post-event cleanup. The City of Waco is soliciting ongoing landscape maintenance (mowing, edging, weed control) along right-of-way corridors under RFB2026029 (due August 7, 2026) and RFB2026030 (due August 10, 2026), neither of which involves post-event collection. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department, Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, and municipal and county governments across Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York, and Illinois are all posting opportunities for routine trash collection, roll-off container rental and disposal, waste hauling, compactor services, and facility-level solid waste management—services that belong under broader waste removal codes, not event-specific cleanup. The code's abstract title does not reflect current procurement activity, and attempting to position against it risks misalignment with how jurisdictions are actually tagging and sourcing these services.

The geographic spread is heavily concentrated in Texas, where TxDOT (Longview, Saginaw, Houston, Comanche, Columbus, Lincoln, Edna, Jasper, and Austin Districts), TDCJ (Bridgeport, Terrell, Moore, Garza East, Lindsey, Dalby, and LeBlanc Units), and HHSC (Kerrville State Hospital and Texas Center for Infectious Disease) post repeated roll-off and front-load container rentals and disposal contracts, often with September 1 effective dates and multiple one-year renewal options. Outside Texas, the most recent activity comes from Georgia (Athens-Clarke County Water Authority, Augusta, Atlanta, Clayton County Water Authority, DeKalb County, Ware County, City of Conyers), Florida (Pasco County, Polk County, City of St. Petersburg, Sarasota), Connecticut (Town of Manchester), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), Wisconsin (Prairie du Chien), Illinois (Illinois Department of Agriculture at the Illinois Fairgrounds), and New York (Port Authority of New York and New Jersey at JFK). Many contracts are small (under $500,000 annually) but highly fragmented—individual municipalities, transit authorities, state prisons, universities, and water authorities each procure separately, with no evidence of cooperative purchasing vehicles or multi-jurisdiction aggregation. The City of Waco and TxDOT are standout repeat buyers in the recent set, each posting multiple opportunities in June and July 2026. Award patterns show preference for lowest-price-responsive bidding or best-value evaluation (qualifications, experience, references, and cost weighted together), with standard insurance requirements ($500,000 to $2,000,000 general liability), workers' compensation, and automobile liability, and with contract terms typically running one to three years with multiple one-year renewal options. No statewide set-asides or HUB/MBE preferences are evident in the recent postings, though some jurisdictions note voluntary SBE, WBE, or LGBTBE reporting options. This code is worth watching only if your firm targets a specific jurisdiction posting under it; the lack of thematic fit between the code name and actual procurement suggests you will encounter inconsistent tagging and may miss opportunities filed under logistics or facilities-management codes instead.
