UNSPSC 76131600: Toxic spill cleanup

UNSPSC 76131600 Toxic spill cleanup is a Class code covering hazardous-material response, assessment, remediation, and disposal work that state and local governments solicit across environmental protection, public health, emergency management, and facility maintenance missions. State and local buyers under this code purchase site investigation and characterization, soil and groundwater remediation, asbestos and lead abatement, biohazard decontamination, spill response, waste transportation and disposal, and facility closeout services—often triggered by regulatory noncompliance, contaminated site discovery, property transfers, disaster response, or facility decommissioning. The issuing bodies span state environmental protection divisions, county and municipal governments, school districts, water authorities, utilities, and public facilities operators across urban, suburban, and rural jurisdictions. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and Texas Department of Agriculture appear as repeat buyers, as do city and county procurement offices in Florida, Georgia, Georgia, Oregon, and Texas pursuing environmental remediation at specific sites or establishing statewide on-call vendor pools.

Recent solicitations show concentrated activity in Texas, Georgia, and Florida. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is soliciting Superfund Engineering Services (RFQ 582-27-00400, due June 8, 2026) for comprehensive feasibility studies, remedial design, and remedial action oversight at Superfund sites statewide, requiring five years of continuous engagement and Texas-licensed Project Engineers and Project Managers on staff, with a five-year contract term from November 2026 through August 31, 2031 negotiated on qualifications rather than lowest bid. The Texas Department of Agriculture is requesting proposals for Pesticide Disposal Events (Solicitation 5510000952, due August 17, 2026) to host 2–3 annual disposal events handling 10,000 to 300,000 pounds of pesticide waste, with responses evaluated 30% on past performance and qualifications, 40% on service delivery plan, and 30% on cost reasonableness; the contract runs through August 31, 2027 with three optional one-year renewals. The Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (RFP 70CNRS3900, due August 11, 2026) seeks Environmental Mitigation, Assessment, and Remediation Services statewide including site assessment, remediation, chlorinated solvent remediation, and abandoned mine reclamation on a four-year term beginning January 1, 2027 with two optional one-year extensions and 25-point weights each on competence, staff expertise, and comparable project experience. The City of Atlanta (PE66062NONST2026000000351, due July 31, 2026 for prequalification leading to IFB) is procuring environmental remediation at the 75.4-acre Chattahoochee Brick Company site—a $2.23 million, EPA Brownfields Cleanup Grant-funded project requiring excavation and off-site disposal of approximately 3,800 cubic yards of lead- and cadmium-contaminated soils plus potential 2,500 cubic yards of PCB-containing subsurface soils—with a base three-year term and two optional two-year renewals subject to Davis-Bacon prevailing wage compliance and OSHA standards. Clayton County Water Authority (RFP 2026WR08 and PE63125NONST2026000000078, both due July 16, 2026) are contracting wet well cleaning and disposal services covering grease, grit, and accumulated material removal over twelve-month terms. Activity is also present in Connecticut, Kentucky, Oregon, and California, indicating geographically distributed demand driven by site-specific contamination, regulatory obligation, and preventive-maintenance cycles rather than concentrated regional procurement priority.
