UNSPSC 11111804: Bentonite

UNSPSC 11111804 Bentonite is a Commodity code representing industrial mineral products used across state and local operations. The recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for bentonite or related mineral procurement; the two records posted in July and May 2026 are unrelated to this code's scope — one is a notice of office relocation for Williamson County Purchasing Department in Texas, and the other is a Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment. State and local governments do procure bentonite for applications including dust control, soil stabilization, water treatment, and industrial processes, but the current opportunities dataset reflects no recent buy activity under this code.

Without recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code, no geographic concentration, issuing-body pattern, or representative opportunity can be reliably characterized. The absence of bentonite procurement notices in the posted activity suggests either low aggregate demand under this specific code, assignment of related procurements to higher-tier or adjacent codes, or sourcing through standing cooperative agreements or fixed-price schedules that do not generate new RFP or RFQ postings. Monitor this code for activity if your firm serves state departments of transportation, public works departments, or water utilities in regions where dust suppression or soil treatment is a regular maintenance practice.
