UNSPSC 76131702: Oil spill treatment services

UNSPSC 76131702 Oil spill treatment services, a Commodity code, addresses emergency and non-emergency response, cleanup, and restoration of hazardous and non-hazardous oil and chemical spills. State and local governments procure this work through city utilities, environmental quality agencies, and county facilities management when spills occur or preventive remediation is required. The City of Austin's April 2026 RFP for spill response services represents the active market: contractors mobilize within one hour for emergencies and eight hours during business hours, maintaining 24-hour availability with OSHA HAZWOPER 40-hour certification, two or three years of documented spill experience, and comprehensive insurance including pollution liability coverage. Work spans non-emergency and emergency labor at various PPE levels, equipment rental (vacuum trucks, excavators, containers), site restoration to EPA 40 CFR 761 and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality standards, and multi-category pricing for spills ranging from PCB-containing hazardous material to industrial remedial support.

The code shows limited recent activity in state and local procurement. Of four recent opportunities identified, only one—the City of Austin's RFP 1100 DCM3046 (due May 28, 2026)—directly matches the code's scope. The City of Austin is the only repeat buyer visible in the current activity block. The remaining three opportunities (a Texas environmental quality initiative, a Union City building inspection RFP, and a Santa Clara County bridge replacement ITB) are unrelated to oil spill treatment services and do not reflect actual work being solicited under this code. Geographic concentration appears limited to Texas based on the single relevant opportunity.
