UNSPSC 11101905: Aluminum liquid

An intermediate product derived from processed aluminum ore which can then be casted into one or more aluminum alloys

UNSPSC 11101905 Aluminum liquid (Commodity) covers the supply and delivery of aluminum chemicals and materials for public-sector operational and infrastructure needs. State and local governments procure this code primarily for water treatment applications — specifically aluminum chlorohydrate as a coagulant in municipal water treatment plants — and as part of broader materials-supply agreements that bundle aluminum with iron, rebar, and steel for construction and maintenance projects. The issuing bodies include city water departments, city procurement offices, and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional public entities. The City of Scottsdale Water Resources Department and the City of Fort Worth represent the core buying pattern: water utilities sourcing treatment chemicals, and general municipal procurement offices establishing non-exclusive supply agreements for structural and fabrication materials used across capital projects and maintenance operations.

Recent activity clusters in Arizona and Texas, with the most concrete opportunity a City of Scottsdale Water Resources Department RFP (#27RFP105) issued October 1, 2026 (due October 30, 2026) for aluminum chlorohydrate 50% solution delivery to the Chaparral Water Treatment Plant. The City of Fort Worth posted RFP 26-0222 on June 24, 2026 (due July 23, 2026) seeking a non-exclusive supply agreement for aluminum, iron, rebar, and steel materials on an as-needed basis, with a stated 30 percent small business participation goal for vendors certified in Tarrant, Wise, Johnson, Parker, or Denton County and a requirement for 48-hour order fulfillment. That agreement offered a one-year initial term with up to five one-year renewal options. Water treatment represents the most direct application; materials-supply agreements for construction and city operations offer broader scope but lower product specificity under this code.
