UNSPSC 76122003: Landfill for hazardous waste

UNSPSC 76122003 Landfill for hazardous waste, a Commodity code, describes state and local procurement of disposal services for hazardous, contaminated, and regulated waste streams — including pesticide residues, remediation soils, pharmaceutical inventory, biosolids, used petroleum products, medical waste, narcotics, and hazardous building materials — sent to EPA-permitted treatment, storage, and disposal (TSD) facilities or incineration sites. State and local governments soliciting under this code span state environmental agencies, county environmental services divisions, wastewater and water authorities, utility commissions, school districts, and specialized public entities such as the Texas General Land Office. Recent activity shows repeat activity from Texas state agencies (Texas Department of Agriculture, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Texas Facilities Commission), with additional substantial procurement from Florida counties (Marion, Collier, Pasco), Georgia entities (Clayton County, Georgia Institute of Technology), and California public institutions. Geographic spread includes Texas, Florida, Georgia, California, Nevada, Oregon, North Carolina, and Connecticut, with Texas and Florida dominating recent solicitation volume. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Agriculture's pesticide disposal events (RFP 5510000952, responses due August 17, 2026, estimated value exceeding $100,000 with mandatory VetHUB subcontracting transparency); Marion County, Florida's hazardous waste disposal (ITB 26B-101, responses due July 16, 2026, covering homeowner and municipal hazardous waste collection with EPA-permitted TSD facility disposal); the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection's statewide environmental remediation services (RFP 70CNRS3900, responses due August 11, 2026, four-year term beginning January 1, 2027, covering spill stabilization, remediation, and waste transport); and the Georgia Institute of Technology's hazardous waste disposal (RFP posted March 25, 2026, responses due April 17, 2026).

The code sees mixed activity across issuing body types and project scales. State environmental and natural resource agencies dominate the pipeline with multi-year service contracts and cooperative purchasing vehicles; water and wastewater authorities issue routine collection and disposal contracts; and city and county governments pursue both emergency-response and scheduled remediation services. Set-asides and preferences appear inconsistently — some solicitations (City of Atlanta environmental remediation at Chattahoochee Brick Company, valued $2.23 million; Texas Facilities Commission remediation services) mandate 26 percent or 30 percent HUB or SBE participation, while others apply none. Insurance requirements, regulatory compliance (EPA, OSHA, state licensing), and bonding are standard. Contract values range from under $100,000 (pesticide events) to $2.23 million (site remediation), with five-year base terms common. The code remains active across diverse disposal modalities — incineration, deep-well injection, landfill placement, and waste-to-energy — and responds to both planned decontamination and emergency spill response, making it worth pursuing for firms with EPA TSD facility relationships, hazmat transportation licensing, and state-level environmental compliance expertise.
