UNSPSC 76122316: Disposal of non-recyclable or residual waste

Residual waste is nonhazardous waste that is non-recyclable

UNSPSC 76122316 Disposal of non-recyclable or residual waste is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure collection, transportation, treatment, and disposal services for solid waste streams that cannot be recycled or diverted—including general refuse, yard waste, grit and screening materials, leachate, sludge, biosolids, construction and demolition debris, grease trap waste, and hazardous or special waste requiring licensed processing. Recent solicitations reveal significant issuing-body diversity: municipalities (cities of Tampa, Wichita, Sanford, Fort Worth, Tucson, Benson, St. Cloud, Fairburn, Edinburg, and Waco), counties (Putnam, Hillsborough, Glynn, Forsyth, Dorchester, and Escambia), school districts (Marion County and Volusia County), transit authorities (Orange County Transportation Authority and Trinity Metro), special-purpose districts (Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Lee County Port Authority), and a state agency (Texas Health and Human Services Commission). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona, with additional recent opportunities in Kansas, South Carolina, and Oregon. The issuing-body mix reflects the breadth of municipal and utility operations that generate disposal-category waste.

Representative solicitations include the City of Tampa (RFQ 26P00544, hazardous and non-hazardous waste pickup, transport, and disposal, quotes due September 11, 2026), the City of Sanford, Florida (RFP 252601, biosolids disposal and recycling, proposals due August 13, 2026, extended by Addendum 1), Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (ITB 26-00422, leachate pumping and transportation, $14.28 million estimated value over three years, bids due October 14, 2026), Putnam County Board of Commissioners (ITB 26-45201-001, solid waste activities management and disposal, bids due November 13, 2026), the City of Wichita (ITB 260215, solidification and disposal of non-hazardous liquid waste, bids due October 30, 2026), and Forsyth County (ITB 27-26-1620 and 27-11-1620, solid waste collection at county facilities, bids due November 19 and September 17, 2026 respectively). The code is active across multiple service models—as-needed disposal, term contracts with renewal options, cooperative purchasing frameworks, and long-term facility operation and maintenance. Liquidated damages, performance bonds, comprehensive insurance requirements (general liability typically $1–5 million per occurrence), and environmental compliance certifications are standard contract provisions.
