UNSPSC 12163000: Mud removal mixtures

UNSPSC 12163000 Mud removal mixtures, a Class code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity the source identifies under this tag. The opportunities posted since May 2026 center almost exclusively on pumps, pump parts, bypass pumping services, and wastewater treatment equipment—none of which fall within mud removal chemistry or slurry compounds. The source shows no recent solicitations for mud removal mixtures, additives, or chemical treatment products that would match the code's nominal scope.

Water and wastewater authorities across Florida and Georgia have issued the bulk of recent postings: the City of Ocala, City of Tampa, City of Port Orange, Hillsborough County, Gwinnett County, Floyd County, Lowndes County, and Fulton County (Atlanta) are repeat buyers. The work being solicited includes bypass pumping services (Gwinnett County ITB BL145-26 with bids due October 23, 2026; Lowndes County permanent pump installation with bids due September 1, 2026), vertical turbine pump removal and installation (Floyd County bids September 21, 2026), centrifuge and rotary press installation for biosolids dewatering (City of Ocala ITBs WRS/260503 and WRS/260536 with mandatory pre-bid meetings March 19, 2026), and five-year blanket purchase agreements for OEM pump parts and services (Hillsborough County sole-source awards to Xylem and TSC Jacobs totaling over $21 million combined). The geographic concentration spans coastal and interior Florida (Tampa, Port Orange, Ocala, Sanford, Palm Bay, Oviedo) and northern Georgia (Gwinnett, Floyd, Lowndes, Fulton counties). This code shows little relevant current activity and appears to be a misclassification in the procurement systems posting these opportunities.
