UNSPSC 12162502: Oil in water emulsion breakers

UNSPSC 12162502 Oil in water emulsion breakers (Commodity) addresses chemical treatment solutions for municipal water and wastewater systems, specifically products that disperse tuberculation, scaling, corrosion deposits, and biofilm within leachate and treatment infrastructure. State and local governments procure these as part of broader chemical supply contracts for water treatment plants, wastewater reclamation facilities, and landfill gas condensate systems, typically bundled with related treatment chemistries such as aluminum sulfate, sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda, and specialized cleaning services rather than as standalone items.

Recent procurement activity under this code shows water utilities, environmental services authorities, and municipal departments issuing ITB, RFP, and IFB notices for treatment chemical packages. Sarasota County (July 2026) solicited a sole-source procurement for PES Pipe & Well Renew chemical products and cleaning services for leachate and landfill gas condensate systems, with responses due July 15, 2026. The Tampa Convention Center (July 2026) issued an RFP for comprehensive water treatment services covering central chilled water and cooling tower systems with a July 28, 2026 response date. Multiple Florida municipalities including Collier County, Palm Beach County, and Indian River County, alongside Georgia water authorities such as Gwinnett County, the City of Dublin, the City of LaGrange, and the City of Tallahassee, posted competitive sealed bids for annual water treatment chemical supply contracts through May and June 2026. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in California, Michigan, Missouri, Connecticut, Texas, and other states. The code sees steady recurring demand across state and regional water utilities, county environmental departments, and city public works divisions renewing annual chemical supply agreements, though recent solicitations do not isolate emulsion breakers as a line item—they appear as part of broader treatment chemical portfolios where the specific product function is subsumed within larger commodity purchases.
