UNSPSC 76122002: Landfill for non hazardous special waste

Special Waste is a non RCRA waste resulting from an industrial process that requires a waste profile

UNSPSC 76122002 Landfill for non-hazardous special waste, a Commodity code, encompasses the acceptance and disposal of treated vegetative waste, construction and demolition debris, biosolids, and processed specialty materials at municipal and regional landfill facilities—work that state and local governments solicit across disposal operations, transfer station management, and interim waste-stream routing. Recent opportunities reflect a mix of solicitations for landfill cell construction and closure, disposal services for specific waste streams, and operational support, with issuing bodies spanning county solid waste departments, regional waste authorities, and municipal environmental services agencies primarily across Florida, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Maryland, California, and Oregon.

County governments dominate the active procurement base, with standout repeat activity from Florida counties (Orange, Volusia, Escambia, Hillsborough, Palm Beach), Georgia counties (DeKalb, Richmond/Augusta, Greenville), and specialized authorities such as Pine Belt Regional Solid Waste Management Authority in Mississippi and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County. The mix of recent solicitations reveals a diversified portfolio: Polk County, Florida issued an ITB for mulching and disposal of vegetative waste with a maximum annual compensation of $150,000 and a three-year base term (response due August 13, 2026); the Town of Manchester, Connecticut solicited processed construction and demolition waste disposal with a tip fee of $90.00 per ton and responses due May 20, 2026 (bid due date was reached); Fayette County, Georgia posted an ITB for a land lease at First Manassas Mile Road suitable for mulching and vegetative waste grinding operations with bids due August 6, 2026; the City of Brownsville, Texas solicited Landfill Cell #6 construction with sealed bids due August 4, 2026; and Seminole County's Solid Waste Management Division issued an IFB for comprehensive landfill systems operation and maintenance encompassing leachate, gas, and stormwater systems with a three-year term and optional renewals (questions due May 8, 2026; bids due May 20, 2026). Clackamas County, Oregon solicited wastewater treatment plant landfill disposal services under ITB 2026-57 for grit, dewatered biosolids, and spent hydrogen sulfide media, with an estimated annual cost of $500,000 and bids due July 29, 2026. Geographic spread is concentrated in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina), mid-Atlantic (Maryland, Connecticut), Texas, the Pacific Northwest, and California; most recent activity posts between February and August 2026, with response deadlines clustered in May through August 2026. Set-asides are present in select procurements: the Maryland Environmental Service applied an 18 percent MBE participation goal to hazardous and non-hazardous waste transportation and disposal at Hawkins Point Landfill and Dundalk Marine Terminal (bids due May 7, 2026), and a 30 percent MBE subcontracting participation goal to the Brown Station Road Sanitary Landfill gas collection system upgrade (bids due June 10, 2026). The Commodity code attracts infrastructure-intensive, long-term operations contracts, capital projects, and specialized environmental compliance services; participation typically requires environmental permitting, hazmat handling credentials where applicable, insurance minimums ranging from $1 million to $5 million in general liability, and demonstrated landfill or waste management experience.
