UNSPSC 77131503: Oil spillage rehabilitation services

UNSPSC 77131503 Oil spillage rehabilitation services is a Commodity code that covers emergency and non-emergency response, cleanup, and restoration following oil and chemical spills. State and local governments soliciting under this code seek qualified contractors to manage both hazardous spills (such as PCB-containing material) and non-hazardous spills, with work spanning site assessment, containment, removal, equipment decontamination, and restoration to regulatory compliance. The issuing bodies soliciting under the code include city utilities and environmental departments, with the City of Austin, Texas being a recent active buyer. Contractors typically must maintain 24-hour emergency availability, deploy OSHA HAZWOPER-certified personnel within specified timeframes (one hour for emergencies, eight hours during business hours), carry comprehensive insurance including environmental impairment liability coverage, and comply with EPA and state environmental regulations such as EPA 40 CFR 761 Subpart G and Texas Commission on Environmental Quality standards. Performance bonds and bid bonds are commonly required, and preferred labor standards and M/WBE participation may be evaluated as part of award decisions.

The most recent activity under the code is concentrated in Texas, with the City of Austin issuing RFP 1100 DCM3046 for emergency and non-emergency spill response covering the Austin Energy service area, all of Travis County, and substations in surrounding counties, with offers due May 14, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. The solicitation is structured as an indefinite quantity agreement with an initial 24-month term and optional renewals, evaluated on technical approach, personnel qualifications, and pricing with local business and small business preference points available. No other recent opportunities in the source block address oil spillage rehabilitation services; the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality solicitation for the Voluntary Marginal Conventional Well Plugging Program and the City of Union City plan review solicitation fall outside this code's scope. Geographic activity under the code is limited to what the recent source material shows.
