FAQ

What work fits NAICS 562112?
  • Scheduled pickup and off-site transport of laboratory chemical wastes including container exchange, labeling, and chain-of-custody documentation for shipment to licensed disposal contractors.
  • On-call emergency collection and removal of spilled or abandoned hazardous materials from job sites, securing materials for safe transport to interim consolidation points.
  • Consolidation and bulking of hazardous wastes from multiple small-quantity generators into transportable containers for subsequent shipment to treatment or disposal vendors.
  • Transportation and pickup of regulated asbestos waste, chemical sludges, or contaminated liquids using placarded vehicles and specialized containment for off-site disposal.
When is NAICS 562112 a weak fit?
  • Hazardous waste treatment or disposal facilities: missing onsite treatment, thermal or chemical processing, and final disposal operations performed at a permitted treatment facility.
  • Environmental remediation and site cleanup contractors: missing excavation, soil stabilization, or in-place remediation engineering that characterize remediation projects rather than collection and transport.
  • Nonhazardous solid waste or recycling collection services: missing hazardous waste manifests, specialized hazardous materials handling, and DOT/packaging controls required for hazardous waste transport.
What solicitation language points to NAICS 562112?
  • Scope specifies hazardous waste pickup frequencies, container types and capacities, DOT-compatible packaging and placarding, and chain-of-custody manifests as contract deliverables.
  • Performance requirements call for hazardous materials handler training (for example HAZWOPER or equivalent), placarded transport vehicles, and documented packaging and labeling procedures.
  • Evaluation criteria request demonstrated experience consolidating small-quantity generator wastes, documented chain-of-custody procedures, and response times for emergency hazardous material pickups.
