UNSPSC 77131501: Oil spillage monitoring services

UNSPSC 77131501 Oil spillage monitoring services (Commodity) encompasses removal, transportation, recycling, and disposal of hazardous waste streams generated by state and local operations, including used motor oil, antifreeze, oil filters, brake fluid, aerosol cans, and medical waste. State and local governments soliciting under this code are primarily transportation authorities, county facilities management operations, and municipal public works departments; the work centers on contracted collection and disposal services that meet EPA, state environmental agency, and Department of Transportation regulatory requirements rather than on-site environmental monitoring or spill response. Contractors must hold hazardous waste hauling certifications, maintain pollution liability insurance, and comply with state waste disposal regulations. The Orange County Transportation Authority's August 2026 RFQ for removal and recycling of hazardous waste, oils, and fluids exemplifies the scope—a $55,000 one-year contract covering six waste streams across five OCTA facilities with 90-day minimum pickup cycles and five-business-day response requirements for emergency collections.

Recent opportunities posted under this code show activity across California, Georgia, and Wisconsin, with scattered activity elsewhere. The Orange County Transportation Authority (California) issued an RFQ due August 18, 2026, for hazardous waste removal and disposal at multiple transit bases. The City of Mableton, Georgia posted an RFP due September 11, 2026, for household hazardous waste collection event services covering paints, solvents, pesticides, batteries, and electronic waste. Waukesha County, Wisconsin sought on-site collection services for used motor oil, oil filters, and antifreeze at county and municipal sites, with proposals due August 27, 2026. A Texas Commission on Environmental Quality solicitation posted July 1, 2026, for the Texas Voluntary Marginal Conventional Well Plugging and Methane Emissions Reductions Program, though the source does not specify whether that opportunity is substantively related to oil spillage monitoring. A May 2026 City of Union City, Georgia RFP for building plan review and inspection services is unrelated to the code's nominal scope and appears to be a tagging mismatch.
