UNSPSC 12162305: Concrete additive

Type of additive promoting impermeability in the blends of mortars and concretes.

UNSPSC 12162305 Concrete additive is a Commodity code that covers concrete admixtures and specialty concrete additives supplied as component materials to state and local construction and maintenance projects. Recent solicitations show state and local governments purchasing concrete additives primarily as input materials within larger concrete supply and placement contracts rather than as standalone procurement items. The code sees activity across city public works departments, county transportation and utility authorities, and special districts managing water, wastewater, and infrastructure maintenance. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal departments of public works, county road and bridge divisions, utility authorities managing water treatment and distribution systems, charter schools, and fire departments conducting capital facility work. The geographic spread of recent activity spans California, Georgia, Arizona, Florida, Kentucky, Oregon, Texas, and Mississippi.

Representative recent opportunities under this code include Kissimmee Utility Authority's rebid for precast concrete pads, sleeves, and posts (AR 26-050-JG, IFB posted September 7, 2026, bids due August 11, 2026), which specified concrete products with dimensional tolerances and structural requirements; the County of Volusia Department of Road and Bridge's invitation to bid for ready mix concrete products (26-B-74JS, ITB posted April 23, 2026, due April 23, 2026), which itemized five concrete grades and concrete admixture type C accelerant with pricing per cubic yard and per one percent of concrete volume; and the City of Santa Cruz Fire Department's installation of a concrete pad for a metal storage building at Fire Station #3 (IFB B25-0290, posted October 6, 2026, due July 29, 2026), which required 18.15 cubic yards of concrete capable of supporting 55,000-pound fire apparatus loads. The code also appears in Pinal County's supply and delivery of Portland cement (IFB 270532, posted August 11, 2026, due September 4, 2026). Concrete additive procurement under this code typically occurs as part of larger infrastructure, maintenance, or capital improvement work where specifications require fiber reinforcement, accelerants, or other performance modifiers, and most recent activity reflects demand from municipal public works and utility capital programs in the Southeast and Southwest.
