UNSPSC 12163701: Kinetic hydrate controllers

UNSPSC 12163701 Kinetic hydrate controllers (Commodity) frames water treatment chemical supplies—particularly specialized chemical products for drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, and corrosion control in municipal water systems. State and local governments buy under this code the full range of treatment chemicals: sodium hypochlorite, liquid caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, sodium bisulfite, magnesium hydroxide slurry, liquid polymer, sodium fluoride, phosphate blends, and corrosion inhibitors delivered on firm fixed-price contracts with NSF/ANSI Standard 60 or equivalent certifications and annual or multi-year renewal options. Cities, water and wastewater utilities, and county water resources divisions issue the majority of opportunities. Recent activity spans Texas, Georgia, Florida, Connecticut, and Arizona, with Texas cities (Austin, Temple) and Florida municipalities (Tallahassee, Volusia County, Hillsborough County) among the most active buyers in the dataset.

Representative recent solicitations show the typical procurement structure: the City of Meriden issued ITB B026-55 (due June 25, 2026) for seven water treatment chemicals including calcium hypochlorite, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, and sodium permanganate with NSF certification and AWWA standard compliance required; the City of Austin posted IFB 2200 BYS1051 REBID (due June 9, 2026) for 38% sodium bisulfite solution in 330-gallon totes for wastewater treatment; the City of Tallahassee solicited IFB-067-26-CPW (due June 16, 2026) for magnesium hydroxide slurry with five-year initial term and optional two-year renewals; the City of Griffin issued ITB #26-008 (due May 28, 2026) for sixteen line-item water treatment chemicals with local preference and performance-based pricing adjustments; and the City of Temple, Texas released BID510227 (due June 10, 2026) for 875,000 wet pounds of liquid ammonium sulfate annually with 5% local preference and Texas local government code preferences applied. Contracts typically require NSF certification, firm pricing for initial terms (commonly one year), delivery within 48 to 72 hours of order placement, and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with incumbent status and multi-item bidder status as tiebreakers where specified.
