UNSPSC 12163802: Oxygen scavengers

UNSPSC 12163802 Oxygen scavengers is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure chemical additives for water and wastewater treatment, primarily hydrogen peroxide and related oxidizing agents used to control hydrogen sulfide, reduce corrosion, and manage odor at municipal water treatment plants, wastewater facilities, and lift stations. Recent opportunities show water utilities buying hydrogen peroxide and peroxide-based products (such as Peroxide Regenerated Iron Sulfide Control, or PRISC) as line-item components of broader water and wastewater chemical supply contracts, sometimes alongside other treatment chemicals such as sodium bisulfite, magnesium hydroxide, and chlorine compounds. Issuing bodies include municipal water departments, water authorities, independent school districts procuring district-wide services, cities managing collection and treatment systems, and county water utilities. These jurisdictions typically solicit on an annual or multi-year requirements basis, allowing vendors to bid on individual chemical line items; awards go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, often with evaluation weight on prior performance, quality, delivery capability, and NSF/ANSI certification compliance.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and Texas, with standout solicitations including the City of Cartersville Water Department (IFB, due October 30, 2026) seeking multiple treatment chemicals including hydrogen peroxide as part of a line-item supply contract; the City of Orlando (IFB 260556, due September 9, 2026) contracting for hydrogen peroxide and PRISC application services at three lift stations; the City of Temple (ITB BID510227, due June 10, 2026) and City of Austin (IFB 2200 BYS1051REBID, due June 9, 2026) procuring related oxidant and sulfite chemicals; and the City of Tallahassee (IFB-067-26-CPW, due June 16, 2026) soliciting magnesium hydroxide slurry for a five-year firm-fixed-price requirements contract. Dallas Independent School District (RFP JKJ250402, due October 15, 2026) also posted a district-wide water treatment services RFP with an SBE 30% participation goal and up to 20 percentage points of evaluation weight on small-business compliance. NSF/ANSI Standard 60 certification, 72-hour delivery capability, and hazardous-materials transportation licensing are standard requirements across these opportunities.
