UNSPSC 76122312: Recycling of styrofoam

UNSPSC 76122312 Recycling of styrofoam (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code. The opportunities reflect a much broader recycling and waste-management scope spanning used tires, universal waste, hazardous materials, commingled recyclables, yard debris, document destruction, lead-acid batteries, electronics, and metals recovery—none of which constitute styrofoam-specific recycling. The code's nominal scope (styrofoam recycling) and the actual procurement activity under it are unrelated; the code shows little relevant recent activity for styrofoam recycling itself.

Recent opportunities issued under this code originate from diverse issuing bodies including county governments (Dorchester County South Carolina, Marion County Florida, Orange County Florida, Orange County Transportation Authority, Seminole County Florida, DeKalb County Georgia, Sacramento County California, and others), municipalities (cities of Phoenix, Albuquerque, Savannah, Cincinnati, Edinburg, Newark, Waco, and Prairie du Chien), school districts (Northside Independent School District Texas, Bridgeport Board of Education Connecticut, DeKalb County School District Georgia), state departments (Michigan, Oregon, Texas), special-purpose authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority California, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County), transit authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell Minnesota). Geographic spread spans California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, Oregon, Texas, and scattered activity in the Northeast and Upper Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include Dorchester County's RFP for used tire collection and recycling (responses due September 24, 2026), Texas A&M University's RFP for recycling collection services (responses due October 22, 2026), Orange County Florida's RFP for recovered materials processing (Materials Recovery Facility operation; responses due October 22, 2026), the State of Michigan's RFP for statewide rubbish removal and recycling services across all 83 counties (responses due October 12, 2026), Marion County Oregon's RFP for battery transportation and recycling (responses due October 14, 2026), and the State of Oregon's RFP for battery transportation and recycling services (responses due September 23, 2026). The code reflects active demand for comprehensive waste and recycling services but misalignment with its stated commodity definition.
