UNSPSC 80111622: Temporary safety health environmental services

UNSPSC 80111622 Temporary safety health environmental services, a Commodity code, encompasses hazardous waste management, pesticide disposal coordination, and environmental compliance services that state and local governments procure to address regulatory obligations and public safety needs. The Texas Department of Agriculture's pesticide disposal event services procurement (RFP 5510000952, due August 17, 2026) exemplifies the work: hosting 2–3 annual collection events with capacity to process 10,000 to 300,000 pounds of pesticide waste, requiring per-pound pricing for liquid and dry formulations plus itemized charges for site setup, technicians, chemists, environmental testing, and decontamination. The code sees activity from state environmental agencies, county health departments, and specialized public entities managing hazardous materials; issuers include the Texas Department of Agriculture and other state-level environmental or public health bodies. Recent solicitations target contractors with federal and state hazmat licenses, current insurance (general liability $2 million or higher), NIST SP 800-53 or state cybersecurity certification, and experience managing high-volume waste streams under regulatory timelines. Geographic concentration in the source material reflects Texas activity, though the scope of environmental compliance work spans jurisdictions managing agricultural chemical inventories, contaminated sites, and emergency disposal events.

Activity under this code remains sparse in the recent opportunities block—the Texas pesticide disposal procurement is the primary match to the code's nominal scope. Most other records tagged 80111622 represent unrelated work (emergency medical director services, housing-based supportive services, food service, forest fuels reduction, substitute teacher staffing) that carries the code only through administrative tagging inconsistency rather than substantive environmental health services procurement. Vendors evaluating this code should focus on the Texas model: hazmat-licensed operators capable of managing documented waste streams, meeting state-specific data security and environmental compliance frameworks, and delivering logistics-intensive field services on fixed or per-unit pricing structures. The absence of high-volume recent activity suggests either narrow demand or inconsistent categorization in state systems; prospective bidders should verify code assignment in opportunity details rather than relying on the nominal category name.
