UNSPSC 77131500: Oil pollution

UNSPSC 77131500 Oil pollution is a Class code under which state and local governments procure hazardous waste removal, collection, transport, recycling, and disposal services, with particular emphasis on used motor oils, antifreeze, oil filters, and related automotive and industrial fluids. The code captures both routine facility-based waste streams and event-based household hazardous waste collection campaigns. Issuing bodies include county transportation authorities, municipal governments, and county public works or environmental departments. The work requires contractors to hold hazardous waste hauler certifications, EPA registration, and appropriate commercial liability and pollution legal liability insurance; compliance with federal, state, and local environmental regulations (including California Title 22, EPA standards, and state-specific codes); and demonstrated capacity to handle multiple waste streams at distributed pickup locations with defined response-time requirements.

Recent activity shows solicitations in California, Georgia, Wisconsin, and Texas. The Orange County Transportation Authority issued an RFQ in August 2026 (solicitation 250459, due August 18, 2026) for removal and recycling/disposal of hazardous waste, oils, and fluids across five OCTA facilities, with an estimated contract value of $55,000 over one year and pickup frequency requirements of every 90 days minimum plus 5-business-day on-call response. Waukesha County issued an RFQ in August 2026 (solicitation 2026021, due August 27, 2026) for on-site collection service for recycling used motor oil, oil filters, and antifreeze at county and municipal sites. The City of Mableton, Georgia posted an RFP in August 2026 (RFP 27-04, due September 11, 2026) for household hazardous waste collection and management services for two resident-only events, covering paints, solvents, pesticides, batteries, and electronic waste. A Texas Commission on Environmental Quality solicitation (58226-00333-2, due August 31, 2026) addresses marginal conventional well plugging and methane emissions reduction but provides insufficient scope detail in the available source material to confirm relevance to the oil pollution code.
