UNSPSC 76131501: Radioactive waste material treatment

UNSPSC 76131501 Radioactive waste material treatment, a Commodity code, covers intake, treatment, processing, and disposal of grease trap waste, domestic septic waste, biosolids, treatment waste, and related materials generated by state and local facilities, as well as biological waste, medical waste, hazardous waste, and emergency spill response materials from municipal, county, school district, and health authority operations. The code captures both routine waste streams (grease, septage, sludge) and specialized hazardous and biohazardous materials including sharps, pharmaceuticals, medical waste, asbestos waste, leachate, and contaminated soil requiring transport and disposal at permitted facilities.

State and local issuers soliciting under this code span school districts, county governments, cities, municipal utilities, health authorities, and state agencies. Recent solicitations come from the Volusia County School Board (waste processing and disposal), Houston City College (biological waste collection and disposal), the City of Wichita (solidification and disposal of non-hazardous liquid waste), Hillsborough County (leachate pumping and disposal from transfer stations and landfills, biohazardous waste removal), the City of Tucson (environmental cleanup services), the Michigan Department of Transportation (emergency environmental cleanup), the City of Fort Worth (biomedical and USDA-regulated waste collection), the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (asbestos waste containers), the City of Tampa (hazardous and non-hazardous waste pickup and disposal), and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (battery collection and recycling). The code shows activity across multiple states including Florida, Kansas, Texas, Michigan, Arizona, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest, with recent opportunities concentrated in Florida counties, Texas municipalities, Michigan (Grand Region), and Arizona. Representative current solicitations include the School Board of Volusia County's Notice of Intent to Single Source waste processing and disposal services ($200,000 estimated annual value) due May 5, 2026; Houston City College's RFP 27-03 for biological waste collection and disposal due November 20, 2026; the City of Wichita's ITB 260215 for solidification and disposal of non-hazardous liquid waste due October 30, 2026; and Hillsborough County's ITB 26-00422 for leachate pumping and transportation ($14.28 million estimated over three years) due October 14, 2026. Mandatory qualifications for many issuers include current hazardous waste transporter permits, EPA identification numbers, HAZWOPER or equivalent certifications, OSHA compliance, and facility permits from state environmental agencies; contractors frequently must self-perform services, maintain 24/7 emergency response capability, provide comprehensive liability and pollution coverage, and comply with federal and state disposal protocols.
