UNSPSC 76131602: Toxic substances spill cleanup

UNSPSC 76131602 Toxic substances spill cleanup is a Commodity code covering removal, containment, decontamination, and disposal of hazardous materials released into soil, water, air, and structures—work that state and local governments procure when responding to illegal dumping sites, underground storage tank releases, pesticide waste, contaminated properties, and industrial spills requiring specialist-led remediation.

State environmental protection agencies, county planning and public works departments, municipalities, and special districts issue the bulk of recent solicitations under this code. The Texas Department of Agriculture, Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, City of Atlanta, and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality appear multiple times, signaling sustained activity from environmental regulators and large municipal systems. Pesticide disposal events, contaminated soil excavation and disposal, underground storage tank investigation and remediation, asbestos and mold abatement, biohazard cleanup, and hazardous waste characterization and transport dominate current buying. The Texas Department of Agriculture's pesticide disposal event procurement (due August 17, 2026) requests hosting 2–3 annual events handling 10,000 to 300,000 pounds of pesticide waste; the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection's environmental mitigation and remediation RFP (due August 11, 2026) covers spill stabilization, waste characterization, contamination removal, and remedial engineering statewide on an as-needed basis; and the City of Atlanta's Chattahoochee Brick Company site remediation (prequalification phase, approximately $2.23 million estimated value) encompasses excavation and off-site disposal of 5,700 tons of lead- and benzene-contaminated surface soils plus optional PCB removal. Geographically, Texas (particularly through TCEQ and TDA), Georgia, Florida, Nevada, and Oregon show the heaviest recent activity, with scattered municipal and county procurement across Connecticut, Michigan, Arizona, and Washington. Vendor experience managing federal EPA compliance, OSHA standards, manifesting and chain-of-custody protocols, and securing appropriately licensed Transportation/Storage/Disposal facilities is table-stakes; many opportunities carry HUB, SBE, or MBE participation goals or preferences, and contract values range from under $100,000 for single-event services to multi-million-dollar multi-year remediation programs.
