UNSPSC 76131602: Toxic substances spill cleanup

UNSPSC 76131602 Toxic substances spill cleanup is a Commodity code that covers intake, treatment, processing, and disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous liquid waste, grease trap waste, septic waste, and biosolids generated by state and local facilities. State and local governments procure under this code when managing industrial waste streams, emergency spill response, and remediation of contaminated sites; the recent solicitations show school districts, cities, counties, and state agencies all buying spill response, hazardous waste removal, and site cleanup services on both routine and emergency bases. Issuing bodies include independent school districts (Volusia County Schools, San Felipe Del Rio CISD), city environmental and public works departments (Wichita, Tucson, Fort Worth, St. Petersburg, Orlando Utilities Commission), county solid waste and environmental agencies (Hillsborough County, Marion County), state agencies (Michigan Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), and special districts such as Houston City College and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County. Recent opportunities span Florida (Volusia County Schools' waste processing and disposal at $200,000 annual, Hillsborough County's leachate pumping and disposal at $14.28 million over three years, St. Petersburg's sole-source emergency spill response with Hull's Environmental Services), Kansas (Wichita's solidification and disposal of non-hazardous liquid waste and special waste disposal), Michigan (MDOT's emergency environmental cleanup across 13 counties with two-hour response requirements), Texas (TDCJ asbestos waste rental containers, Houston City College biological waste collection and disposal, Waco sludge hauling), and Arizona (Tucson citywide cleanup and hazardous waste disposal).

Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida and the upper Midwest, with secondary activity in Texas, Arizona, Kansas, and Michigan.
