UNSPSC 76131601: Toxic spill containment

UNSPSC 76131601 Toxic spill containment, a Commodity code, encompasses the collection, treatment, transportation, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous liquid waste and contaminated materials generated by state and local facilities — including spill response, emergency remediation, biohazardous waste management, and containment services. State and local governments are actively soliciting under this code through a mix of issuing bodies: school districts, city environmental and sanitation departments, county waste management agencies, state facilities and transportation departments, community colleges, public utilities, and special authorities including waste management districts and port authorities. These buyers seek on-call and as-needed contractors capable of rapid emergency response, specialized waste characterization and containment, and full regulatory compliance across EPA, OSHA, state environmental protection, and local ordinances.

Recent opportunities span the full scope of the code. The Volusia County School Board (Florida) issued a Notice of Intent to Single Source waste processing and disposal of grease trap waste, septic waste, biosolids, and screening residue (608,000 gallons annually) under solicitation SS20263160JD with a response due date of May 5, 2026 at $200,000 estimated annual value. Houston City College (Texas) released RFP 27-03 for biological waste collection and disposal including sharps containers, waste containers, and biohazard signage with pickups Monday through Friday and certificates of destruction required, with proposals due November 20, 2026. The City of Wichita (Kansas) solicited bids for solidification and disposal of non-hazardous liquid waste (ITB 260215, due October 30, 2026), and the City of Fort Worth (Texas) released RFP 26-0312 for standby disaster debris monitoring with a mandatory 30 percent Small Business participation goal and proposals due November 5, 2026. The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners (Florida) has issued multiple leachate-handling procurements: ITB 26-00422 for leachate pumping, transportation, and disposal ($14.28 million over three years, due October 14, 2026) and ITB 26-00390 for leachate removal and trench cleaning ($245,350 over three years, due October 2, 2026). The Michigan Department of Transportation (Grand Region, 13 counties) solicited emergency environmental cleanup and remediation under RFP 26-2668 with responses due October 5, 2026, requiring all personnel to hold 40-Hour OSHA HAZWOPER certification and valid Hazardous Materials endorsements. The City of Tampa (Florida) issued RFQ Illegal_Dumping_and_Hazardous_Material_Disposal_SMQ for pickup, transport, identification, and disposal across 76 line items of hazardous and non-hazardous waste (due September 11, 2026) with mandatory EPA Identification Number and FDEP Hazardous Waste Transporter Registration required at bid submission. The City of St. Petersburg (Florida) posted sole-source notice SS26350 for 24/7 emergency spill response and site remediation (due October 6, 2026), and the Orange County Transportation Authority (California) requested quotes for removal and recycling of hazardous waste, oils, and fluids ($55,000 estimated, due August 18, 2026) with mandatory DTSC registration and EPA number requirements. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida (Volusia, Hillsborough, Tampa, St. Petersburg counties and Houston/Meacham in Texas), with significant activity in Kansas, Michigan, Georgia, California, and Oregon. School districts, municipal environmental services departments, and county solid-waste boards are the dominant issuing bodies, with emerging activity from state transportation and correctional facilities. Mandatory qualifications — including EPA identification numbers, hazardous-waste transporter permits, HAZWOPER certification, and state-specific environmental registrations — filter the competitive set sharply and persist across nearly all recent solicitations.
