UNSPSC 12162301: Waterborne curing agents

UNSPSC 12162301 Waterborne curing agents is a Commodity code that encompasses treatment chemicals used in municipal water systems, though state and local procurement under this code centers on broader water treatment chemistry — sodium hydroxide, hydrated lime, liquid chlorine, aluminum sulfate, activated carbon, potassium permanganate, sodium chlorite, sodium hypochlorite, polymers, and related compounds delivered to treatment facilities and pump stations. The issuing bodies are municipal water utilities and city water departments operating public water systems. Bidders may be chemical manufacturers, water treatment suppliers, or distributors qualified to meet AWWA and ANSI/NSF Standard 60/61 specifications and capable of rapid delivery on call — typically within 72 hours during business hours.

The City of Griffin, Georgia issued Invitation to Bid #26-008 on April 29, 2026, for FY27 water treatment chemicals (response deadline May 28, 2026), soliciting line-item pricing on 16 different chemicals for delivery to six treatment facilities and pump stations with an optional four one-year renewals. Award is made to lowest responsive and responsible bidders on individual line items; prior supplier performance may adjust pricing by up to 2 percent, and all pricing must remain firm for the 12-month initial term with increases thereafter supported by U.S. Department of Labor indices. No pre-bid meeting was scheduled, no bid bonds are required, and no set-aside designations apply. The solicitation shows limited recent state and local activity under this code.
