UNSPSC 76122313: Recycling of vinyl

UNSPSC 76122313 Recycling of vinyl, a Commodity code, does not align closely with recent state and local procurement activity in the source dataset. The code nominally describes vinyl-specific recycling services, but the 35 recent opportunities posted between June and October 2026 span tire recycling, battery recycling, general commingled recyclables processing, document destruction, electronics recycling, yard waste, hazardous waste, and solid waste collection—none of which emphasize vinyl as a primary or distinctive material stream. Issuing bodies include counties (Dorchester, Orange, Seminole, Marion, Rankin, Pinellas, Waukesha, Sacramento, DeKalb, Pinal, Pasco), cities (Phoenix, Tucson, Cincinnati, Albuquerque, Edinburg, San Marcos, Savannah, Mableton, Alexandria, Newark, Waco, Santa Clara, Bridgeport, Prairie du Chien, and Lealman), state agencies (Michigan, Oregon, Texas Department of Transportation, Illinois Department of Corrections), school districts (Northside Independent, Sarasota County, DeKalb County, Houston City College, Bridgeport Board of Education), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority, OCTA), universities (Texas A&M), and service cooperatives (Sourcewell). Geographic spread covers California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina, Oregon, Michigan, Arizona, North Carolina, and numerous other states. Representative recent opportunities include Dorchester County's RFP for used tire collection and recycling due September 24, 2026; Orange County, Florida's RFP for recovered materials processing services (Materials Recovery Facility operation) with an October 22, 2026 response deadline; the State of Oregon's RFP for battery transportation and recycling due September 23, 2026; and Marion County, Oregon's RFP for battery transportation and recycling due October 14, 2026.

The code shows minimal relevant recent activity when vinyl recycling is the decision criterion. State and local procurement under this code, if any exists, is not captured in the current opportunity pipeline. Bidders pursuing vinyl-specific recycling should monitor whether jurisdictions in regions with significant vinyl product waste streams (flooring, window frames, automotive components, signage, tubing) issue targeted solicitations, but current market signals do not reflect active procurement for vinyl-dedicated recycling services. Vendors may have better pursue-now opportunities in the broader materials recovery, commingled recyclables, or specialty waste streams that dominate current state and local buying.
