UNSPSC 76131500: Nuclear waste treatment

UNSPSC 76131500 Nuclear waste treatment is a Class code that encompasses the collection, treatment, transportation, and disposal of radioactive, hazardous, biomedical, and special industrial waste streams generated by state and local public bodies. Despite the code's nominal scope—nuclear waste—the recent opportunities show state and local governments soliciting services for grease trap and septic waste processing, biohazard and medical waste removal, leachate hauling and disposal, asbestos remediation and container rental, sludge hauling, soil remediation, chemical waste disposal, emergency spill response, debris removal, and household hazardous waste collection. Issuing bodies include school districts (Volusia County Schools), cities (Wichita, Fort Worth, Tucson, Tampa, St. Petersburg, Long Beach, Atlanta, Waco), counties (Hillsborough, Marion, Clayton, Escambia, Walworth), state agencies (Michigan Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Illinois EPA, Texas Military Department), special authorities (Lee County Port Authority, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, Orlando Utilities Commission, Glades Electric Cooperative, Brazos River Authority), and institutions (Houston City College, University of Houston, Maricopa County Community College District). School districts and county commissions appear frequently as repeat buyers.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Volusia County, Hillsborough County, Marion County, Escambia County, Lee County, St. Petersburg, Orlando), Texas (Wichita, Fort Worth, Waco, Austin, Houston, San Felipe Del Rio, Dallas area), Georgia (Atlanta, Clayton County, Mableton), Michigan (MDOT Grand Region, Jackson), and multiple other states including Kansas, Arizona, Oregon, Illinois, Washington, Mississippi, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include Volusia County Schools' notice of intent to single-source waste processing and disposal services for 608,000 gallons annually of grease trap waste, septic waste, and biosolids at $200,000 estimated annual expenditure (RFQ, due May 5, 2026, extended from an earlier date); Hillsborough County's competitive sealed bid for leachate pumping, transportation, and disposal from the Southeast County Landfill, estimated at $14.28 million over three years (ITB 26-00422, due October 14, 2026); the City of Wichita's request for bids on solidification and disposal of non-hazardous liquid waste (IFB 260215, due October 30, 2026); and the Michigan Department of Transportation's request for emergency environmental cleanup and remediation services across 13 counties in the Grand Region, with mandatory 40-Hour OSHA HAZWOPER certification and two-hour emergency response times (RFP, due October 5, 2026, with Amendment 1 posted September 29 addressing prior questions).
