UNSPSC 77141503 Inorganics testing, a Commodity code, encompasses the collection, treatment, processing, and disposal of inorganic waste streams generated by state and local facilities—including grease trap waste, septic waste, biosolids, leachate, sludge, non-hazardous liquid waste, asbestos, and debris from contaminated sites. State and local governments procure these services across school districts, county solid waste departments, municipal utilities, environmental agencies, transit authorities, and special-purpose districts. The issuing bodies span Florida school districts and counties, Texas municipalities and community colleges, Michigan state transportation departments, Kansas and Arizona cities, Georgia municipalities, and specialized authorities such as waste management districts and port authorities. Recent solicitations show heavy activity from county and city environmental and public works departments managing landfill leachate, wastewater treatment sludge, and hazardous remediation, alongside school districts and utilities handling routine waste streams.
