UNSPSC 12141901: Chlorine Cl

UNSPSC 12141901 Chlorine Cl is a Commodity code covering liquid and solid chlorine products used by state and local governments for water treatment, pool maintenance, and utility operations. State and local buyers procure chlorine in multiple forms—liquid chlorine in one-ton containers and 150-pound cylinders, sodium hypochlorite solution, and calcium hypochlorite granular—all meeting NSF Standard 60 certification and AWWA approval where applicable. School districts, municipal water and wastewater utilities, parks and recreation departments, and water production divisions are the primary issuing bodies. The work involves supplying chlorine on a recurring, often seasonal basis with firm pricing, regular delivery schedules ranging from weekly to bi-weekly, emergency availability clauses, and strict chemical specification compliance; buyers frequently reserve the right to test deliveries and cancel awards for non-compliant product.
