UNSPSC 76122408: State county local waste or recycle fee

Any fee or tax associated with recycling or waste disposal levied by state, county or local entities

UNSPSC 76122408 State county local waste or recycle fee is a Commodity code that captures waste and recycling services purchased by state and local governments, though recent solicitations tagged to this code show limited direct alignment with typical waste-fee or recycling-program activity. The three most recent opportunities display significant scope mismatch: the Texas Workforce Commission's August 2026 IFB solicited an adaptive tractor and front-end loader package for vocational rehabilitation; the Mississippi Department of Human Services posted a contract Statewide Property Auditor position; and the City of Norwalk, Connecticut issued an RFP for transportation and disposal of street sweepings, catch basin grit, excavated materials, and broken structural concrete. Only the Norwalk solicitation—transportation and disposal of street-derived waste materials—aligns with the code's nominal scope. The mix of issuing bodies includes state workforce and human-services departments alongside municipal public-works departments, suggesting the code may be used inconsistently across jurisdictions or that the code itself is a catch-all for miscellaneous state and local purchasing activity.

Geographic activity appears sparse and diffuse. Recent opportunities span Texas, Mississippi, and Connecticut, with no evident concentration in any single state or region. The Norwalk RFP, posted June 8, 2026 with a June 18, 2026 response deadline, represents the only recent opportunity clearly relevant to waste removal and disposal services; contact is Sharon Conners at the City of Norwalk's Department of Public Works, with full solicitation documents available through the Bonfire Hub platform. The code shows little focused recent activity aligned with its name and appears to warrant closer investigation into whether state and local procurement offices are applying it correctly or whether the taxonomy assignment reflects administrative or category-assignment drift.
