UNSPSC 92111717: Chemical weapons destruction

There are two common methods that the United States uses to dispose of chemical warfare Involves destruction of chemical agents and related weapons. The primary method is incineration,[1] where liquid agents are burned in a furnace of temperatures over 2,000 F (1,093 C). For chemical agents in delivery vessels (i.e. Mortars, Bombs, Artillery shells, etc.), this is a multi-step process. Depending on the type of agent to be destroyed,a second method involves neutralization. Neutralization destroys the chemical agent by mixing it with hot water or hot water and sodium hydroxide.

UNSPSC 92111717 Chemical weapons destruction is a Commodity code that does not align with recent state and local procurement activity. The code name suggests military or security-related hazardous material disposal; however, the available recent opportunities show no matches to this scope. Instead, state and local agencies are actively procuring under this code tag for pesticide disposal, pharmaceutical destruction, environmental remediation, hazardous waste collection and disposal, biohazard cleanup, and asbestos abatement — all civilian environmental health and safety services entirely unrelated to chemical weapons.

The recent opportunities block names twenty-eight solicitations across fifteen states issued between March and July 2026. The Texas Department of Agriculture leads with a pesticide disposal events RFP (due August 17, 2026) estimated to exceed $100,000 and covering 2–3 annual events with capacity for 10,000 to 300,000 pounds of pesticide waste. Environmental remediation dominates the activity: Nevada's Division of Environmental Protection seeks statewide environmental mitigation, assessment, and remediation services (RFP due August 11, 2026); the City of Atlanta is prequalifying vendors for a $2.23 million Chattahoochee Brick Company site remediation (IFB forthcoming after July 31); and the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality solicited Superfund engineering services (RFQ posted June 15, 2026). Hazardous waste disposal features heavily across Florida (Marion County, Pasco County, Collier County), Georgia, Oregon, and Texas. Additional activity spans asbestos abatement (Marysville Public Schools, Texas State Technical College), biohazard cleanup (City of Fort Worth, Orlando, Volusia County), and disaster debris removal (City of Atlanta, Clayton County Georgia, Texas General Land Office). The code sees activity from state environmental agencies, counties, cities, school districts, utilities, and special districts across the South, Southwest, and Pacific Northwest, with Texas and Georgia appearing most frequently as issuing bodies.
