UNSPSC 77111604: Animal carcass disposal site restoration service

A service to dig up buried areas where animals infected with livestock infectious diseases such as foot-and-mouth disease and avian influenza, or the bodies of animals killed prophylactically, are recovered after a certain period of time and restored to the environment before they were buried.

UNSPSC 77111604 Animal carcass disposal site restoration service (Commodity) covers equipment procurement and installation for the disposal and cremation of animal remains at municipal animal care facilities, grounded in recent solicitations that are buying incinerator and crematorium units, associated installation labor, regulatory compliance verification, operator training, and warranty coverage. State and local buyers under this code include county animal control departments, municipal animal care services, and special-purpose facilities that handle routine animal carcass disposal, evidence destruction, and controlled-substance disposal. Two counties in Georgia—Henry County and the City of San Antonio, Texas—have posted active bids for new incinerator and crematorium equipment replacement, signaling refresh cycles at aging municipal facilities. The Henry County bids specify removal of existing equipment and installation of new units capable of processing approximately 9,000 pounds of animal remains monthly (cats, dogs, wildlife, evidence, and controlled substances), with compliance required to EPA, CFR, OSHA, Georgia EPD, and state environmental standards. Contractors must obtain all necessary permits, provide bi-annual maintenance plans, furnish one-year parts-and-labor warranty and two-year paint warranty, and deliver manufacturer training to county personnel.

Henry County, Georgia and the City of San Antonio, Texas represent the primary recent activity under this code. Henry County's Bid 27-12 for incinerator replacement had a response deadline of September 24, 2026 (posted August 27, 2026), with a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit on September 3, 2026; a second identical solicitation posted October 1, 2026 with the same due date, suggesting the initial bid cycle reopened or was reissued. The City of San Antonio's Animal Care Services crematorium replacement (Solicitation 2001045440) closed November 3, 2026, with a bidders' conference to review project requirements and site conditions. Both solicitations emphasize regulatory compliance, environmental standards, and demonstrated experience in municipal animal care facility equipment installations. Henry County requires bid bonds of not less than five percent of the total bid amount and 100% performance and payment bonds; contractors must hold current Georgia general contractor licensing, register with SAM.gov, maintain workers' compensation at Georgia statutory limits, and carry $1 million commercial general liability and $1 million automobile liability. The code shows concentrated activity in Georgia and Texas; no additional states appear in the recent opportunities block.
