UNSPSC 76122203: Incineration for hazardous waste

UNSPSC 76122203 Incineration for hazardous waste, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity that diverges significantly from the code's nominal scope. The three opportunities that touch incineration involve animal carcass disposal and medical-biological waste processing rather than hazardous industrial waste incineration. Henry County, Georgia issued two solicitations (one in August 2026 and one in October 2026, both IB 27-12) for replacement of an animal care facility incinerator capable of processing approximately 9,000 pounds of animal remains monthly, including police evidence and controlled substances, with bids due September 24 and October 1, 2026 respectively. The City of San Antonio posted a solicitation in early October 2026 for Animal Care Services crematorium equipment replacement. Milwaukee County issued two ITBs (posted July 30 and September 23, 2026) for medical-biological and hazardous waste removal and processing services at its Medical Examiner facility, with response dates of August 20 and October 7, 2026. The remaining opportunities in the recent block—park irrigation improvements (City of DeBary, Florida) and hazardous waste transportation and disposal (Maryland Environmental Service)—fall outside the code's incineration scope entirely.

The code shows activity across three states: Georgia (Henry County, repeat buyer with two incinerator-focused bids), Wisconsin (Milwaukee County, medical examiner waste management), and Florida (single irrigation solicitation unrelated to incineration). Henry County's animal incinerator bid requires EPA and Georgia Environmental Protection Division compliance, a zero percent DBE participation benchmark with good faith efforts to engage small, local, veteran-owned, and minority or woman-owned businesses, one-year parts and labor warranty, two-year paint warranty, and performance and payment bonds. Insurance requirements include workers' compensation, $1 million commercial general liability per occurrence, and $1 million automobile liability. Bidders must hold current Georgia general contractor licensing and register with SAM.gov. Milwaukee County's medical examiner waste removal ITB provides minimal detail on contract value, term, or evaluation criteria. The code's recent activity skews heavily toward animal care and medical examiner operations rather than industrial hazardous waste incineration, signaling limited traditional scope demand in current state and local procurement.
