UNSPSC 11181510: Zinc oxide

An inorganic compound with the formula ZnO. ZnO is a white powder that is insoluble in water, and it is widely used as an additive in numerous materials and products including rubbers, plastics, ceramics, glass, etc.

UNSPSC 11181510 Zinc oxide (Commodity) does not align with recent state and local procurement activity indexed under this code. The single recent opportunity posted under this Commodity code is Bernalillo County's RFP5326EM, a grant solicitation for opioid-settlement-funded capital projects and operating expenses supporting treatment of opioid use disorder and co-occurring substance use or mental health conditions—a scope entirely unrelated to zinc oxide procurement. The mismatch suggests either a classification error in the source data or that the code sees minimal legitimate procurement activity among state and local buyers in the tracked opportunity set.

No state and local government procurement for zinc oxide products appears in the recent opportunities block. A business development professional evaluating this Commodity code should verify whether the code receives consistent, substantive use across state and local purchasing systems or whether it remains inactive or mislabeled in current sourcing workflows. Without representative recent solicitations for zinc oxide itself, no geographic spread or issuing-body characterization is supported by the source.
