UNSPSC 76122314: Recycling of fluorescent lamps

Services relating to recycling fluorescent lamp tubes, to include recovery of elements.

UNSPSC 76122314 Recycling of fluorescent lamps, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local solicitations in the dataset. The opportunities posted under or near this code span used tires, lithium ion batteries, hazardous waste oils and fluids, household hazardous waste, electronics, pallets, lead reclamation, scrap metals, glass, yard waste, document destruction, and commingled recyclables — but fluorescent lamp recycling does not appear among them. A mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity is evident; state and local governments are buying broad universal waste and recyclable materials processing services, not fluorescent lamp recycling as a standalone commodity.

The issuing bodies across the dataset include counties (Dorchester, Orange, Marion, Seminole, Rankin, Waukesha, Pinal, DeKalb County School District, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County), cities (Phoenix, Albuquerque, Edinburg, Tucson, Sacramento, San Marcos, Savannah, Cincinnati, Waco, Alexandria, Newark, Prairie du Chien, Mableton, Tyrone, Bridgeport Board of Education), state agencies (Michigan, Oregon, Texas A&M University, Illinois Department of Corrections), a regional transit authority (Orange County Transportation Authority), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Recent opportunities span the full geographic range of the United States, with notable concentration in California, Florida, Texas, Georgia, Michigan, and the Midwest. Representative recent solicitations include Dorchester County, South Carolina's RFP for used tire collection and recycling services (due September 24, 2026), Orange County, Florida's RFP for recovered materials processing facility operations (due October 22, 2026), Marion County, Oregon's RFP for battery transportation and recycling (due October 14, 2026), the State of Michigan's statewide RFP for rubbish removal and recycling services across 83 counties (due October 12, 2026), and the City of Phoenix's RFI for lithium ion battery recycling services (due October 15, 2026). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned to its stated commodity definition; procurement activity under or near it addresses waste streams far broader than fluorescent lamps alone.
