UNSPSC 95131602: Portable toilet

Movable buildings or structures used for urination, defecation or other sanitary purposes

UNSPSC 95131602 Portable toilet, a Commodity code, covers the rental, servicing, and maintenance of standard and ADA-compliant portable restroom units deployed at public facilities, parks, wildlife areas, and special events. State and local governments use this code to procure turnkey portable sanitation solutions—units delivered, installed, serviced, and removed on a schedule ranging from daily to annual—typically bundled with cleaning, waste disposal, and restocking. The issuing bodies span state wildlife and parks departments, county recreation services, city public works and planning departments, and municipal special-use facilities; California Department of Fish and Wildlife and Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation are among recent repeat buyers. Work solicited under the code right now includes standard and ADA-accessible units, handwashing stations, gray-water disposal, and multi-service maintenance contracts. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife issued RFQ P2630002 in June 2026 seeking thirteen standard and two ADA-compliant portable toilets for the Yolo Bypass Wildlife Area under a three-year rental-and-maintenance contract beginning September 1, 2026 (bids due July 20, 2026); Salt Lake County Parks and Recreation issued RFC SLC0PAR130326 in April 2026 for a six-year portable-restroom rental contract covering standard units, ADA units, gray-water stations, and septic pumping services at county parks and events throughout Salt Lake County (bids due May 20, 2026). The City of Torrington, Connecticut, and other municipalities also solicit these contracts regularly for seasonal and year-round municipal-facility needs.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah, with additional procurement in the Southeast. The code shows steady demand: the California and Utah procurements are multi-year, multi-unit contracts reflecting institutional reliance on portable sanitation at public properties where permanent facilities are infeasible or insufficient. Set-asides vary by state—California applies small-business and DVBE preferences, while Salt Lake County uses preference scoring for health care and veteran hiring. Contractual structure typically requires comprehensive insurance (Commercial General Liability $1 million per occurrence minimum), performance and payment bonds, proof of licenses and permits, and firm pricing for 24 months or longer. Questions deadlines and addenda cycles are standard; pre-bid meetings are uncommon. Award is typically to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder meeting specifications. The code remains active and accessible to regional and national portable-sanitation vendors with insurance, fleet capacity, and service-area coverage that match the geographic scope of each solicitation.
