UNSPSC 12141909: Phosphorus P

UNSPSC 12141909 Phosphorus P is a Commodity code that classifies phosphorus-based chemical products and materials purchased by state and local wastewater treatment facilities to support nutrient-removal operations. The recent solicitation activity shows state and local governments buying integrated phosphorus control systems that employ struvite precipitation chemistry to reduce ortho-phosphorus concentrations in treated wastewater and biosolids. The scope of work under this code includes the design, manufacture, delivery, and commissioning of complete phosphorus removal systems comprising process equipment, tanks, chemical feed systems, instrumentation, controls, and operator training, with suppliers typically held responsible for factory testing, shop drawing preparation, startup assistance, performance verification, and warranty support. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code are municipal water reclamation facilities and regional wastewater agencies operating nutrient-removal programs, often in partnership with state environmental or transportation departments. The City of Orem represents the primary recent buyer.

The City of Orem, Utah posted PROJECTNO230904 on September 3, 2026, seeking design and delivery of a complete phosphorus control system for the Orem Water Reclamation Facility, with proposals due October 16, 2026 via the State of Utah's BonFire procurement portal. The project is EPA-grant-funded and subject to Build America and Buy America Act compliance. Suppliers are expected to furnish a fully integrated system capable of treating anaerobically digested sludge through controlled struvite precipitation, deliver equipment within six months of award, provide shop drawings within sixty days, and coordinate with a separate general construction contractor. Equipment must be delivered to 1797 West 1000 South, Orem, Utah 84058, with progress payments structured at 20 percent upon shop drawing approval, 60 percent upon delivery, and the remainder upon incorporation and testing. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,000 per day for delivery delays. Evaluation criteria include proposed equipment quality, materials of construction, equipment performance, life cycle costs, manufacturer experience, and equipment references. The code shows minimal recent activity beyond this single solicitation; the other three recent opportunities posted under UNSPSC 12141909 involve welding materials and occupational medical surveillance services unrelated to phosphorus control chemistry, indicating a tagging mismatch rather than genuine phosphorus procurement demand.
