UNSPSC 12142102: Chlorinated mixed gases

UNSPSC 12142102 Chlorinated mixed gases (Commodity) encompasses industrial and specialty gas supply for state and local government operations, but recent activity shows minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities dataset contains no solicitations for chlorinated mixed gases; instead, the tagged opportunities cover welding gases (acetylene, argon, argon-CO2 mixtures), medical-grade gases (oxygen, nitrous oxide), laboratory gases (helium, carbon dioxide, nitrogen), and water-treatment chemicals (liquid oxygen and carbon dioxide). Welding materials and gases dominate the dataset, with multiple school districts, colleges, and cities soliciting welding consumables, rod, wire, and inert gases for maintenance and training programs. Medical oxygen procurement appears in fire department and emergency services contexts, while municipal water treatment and industrial operations drive demand for liquid carbon dioxide and oxygen. The issuing bodies span community colleges (Collin College, Collin County Community College District), cities (Dallas, Orlando, Austin, Detroit, Wichita), counties (Jackson County Missouri, Sarasota County Florida, Alameda County Water District), school districts (Northside Independent School District), transit authorities (Dallas Area Rapid Transit), and a statewide purchasing division (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts). No repeat buyer emerges as dominant in the recent dataset.

Geographic spread covers Texas heavily (Collin County, Dallas, Austin, Orlando, San Antonio), with activity also in Florida (Sarasota County, Orlando), Missouri (Jackson County), Michigan (Detroit), Kansas (Wichita), and California (Alameda County). Texas dominates recent solicitation volume, particularly through municipal and regional procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Collin College's three-year welding materials contract (IFB FY2024-ITB-020, due March 19, 2024, approximately $400,000 annually) covering welding rods, electrodes, and consumables; Dallas Area Rapid Transit's blanket purchase order for welding and inert gases (BPO REQ2098359, due June 2, 2026) specifying acetylene, oxygen, argon, and argon-CO2 cylinders with mandatory site visit attendance; the Texas Comptroller's statewide RFI (304T-26-430M2) for industrial gases and dewar rental across 25 TxDOT districts, covering 129–137 line items; the City of Austin's industrial gases and cylinders IFB (5000 RBB1011, due April 30, 2026) spanning hydrogen, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, nitrogen, and oxygen for multi-facility delivery; and Alameda County Water District's liquid oxygen and carbon dioxide IFB (25/26-29, due May 1, 2026) for water treatment operations. The code shows little relevant recent activity; opportunities tagged to this commodity code address gases well outside the chlorinated mixed-gas category.
