UNSPSC 76121902: Acid waste collection or disposal

UNSPSC 76121902 Acid waste collection or disposal, a Commodity code, encompasses intake, treatment, transport, and disposal of acid waste and related chemical streams generated by state and local government facilities, schools, colleges, utilities, and public safety agencies. State and local governments buy acid waste processing under this code alongside broader hazardous and special waste disposal services—including grease trap waste, septic waste, biosolids, sludge, chemical waste, biohazardous materials, and industrial spill cleanup. Issuing bodies span school districts, city environmental and public works departments, county waste management and utility authorities, state environmental agencies, community colleges, and special districts. The Volusia County School Board issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source waste processing and disposal services (estimated annual value $200,000) for grease trap and septic waste with response due May 5, 2026. Houston City College and San Felipe Del Rio CISD both posted solicitations for biological waste collection and disposal services in October 2026 with November response windows. Acid waste and related chemical and hazardous waste disposal activity clusters in Florida (Volusia, Hillsborough, Marion, Pinellas, Escambia counties and Tampa, Fort Worth, St. Petersburg, and Jacksonville municipalities), Texas (Houston, Waco, Fort Worth, and Austin jurisdictions), Arizona (Phoenix and Tucson), and scattered activity across Michigan, Kansas, Georgia, and other states.

The code shows steady and widespread recent procurement activity across multiple waste streams beyond the narrow "acid waste" title—leachate hauling and disposal dominate, along with hazardous and biohazardous waste, industrial sludge, emergency spill response, and facility remediation. Representative recent solicitations include Hillsborough County's ITB for pumping, transportation, and disposal of leachate from the Southeast County Landfill (ITB-26-00422, estimated value $14.28 million over three years, due October 14, 2026), the City of Wichita's IFB for solidification and disposal of non-hazardous liquid waste (IFB 26-0215, due October 30, 2026), and Houston City College's RFP for biological waste collection and disposal under RFP 27-03 (due November 20, 2026). Hillsborough County also solicited biohazardous waste removal services (ITB 26-00414, estimated $178,807.86 over five years, due October 1, 2026) and leachate pumping and cleaning (ITB-26-00390, estimated $245,350 over three years, due October 2, 2026). Fort Worth issued an RFQ for biomedical and USDA-regulated waste collection (RFQ 26-0275, due September 11, 2026) and standby disaster debris monitoring (RFP 26-0312, due November 5, 2026) with a 30 percent Small Business participation goal. The code remains active for pursuit, with heavy emphasis on leachate, biological, and medical waste services rather than traditional acid waste alone.
