UNSPSC 12164101: In situ additives

UNSPSC 12164101 In situ additives (Commodity) encompasses water treatment and wastewater system chemicals supplied in bulk and delivered directly to municipal treatment facilities—primarily solvent-based degreasers, chlorine compounds, sulfur-based additives, aluminum salts, polymers, and specialty chemicals for process control and corrosion management. State and local water and wastewater authorities dominate procurement activity, supplemented by school districts, special-purpose water districts, and occasionally county departments. The mix spans large metropolitan utilities (Collier County, Dallas Water Utilities, Gwinnett County), mid-sized municipal systems (Waco, Dublin, LaGrange, Cartersville), regional authorities (Cobb County-Marietta, Macon Water Authority), and smaller specialized districts (Rockland County Sewer, Clean Water Services District in Oregon). Recent opportunities reflect recurring annual contracts and spot procurements covering identical chemical classes across dozens of jurisdictions.

Geographic concentration clusters in Florida (Collier County, City of Cocoa, Palm Beach County, Sarasota County), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Cobb County-Marietta, Macon, Cartersville, Valdosta, Dublin, LaGrange, Milledgeville), and Texas (Waco, Dallas, City of Tolleson, Arizona), with secondary activity in Oregon (Clean Water Services), California (Santa Cruz), and Connecticut (Meriden). Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's countywide chemicals ITB (268705, responses due November 13, 2026) calling for 29 line items with annual estimated volumes up to 8 million pounds of sodium hydroxide and historical spending near $4 million annually; Rockland County Sewer District #1's chemical degreaser ITB (RFBRC2026067, responses due November 12, 2026) for solvent-based degreaser in 250-gallon totes at 2 totes annually with pre-approved product preference; City of Waco's multiple RFBs (posted July 30, 2026 with responses in August 2026) across ten separately awardable chemical categories including liquid chlorine, aluminum sulfate, polymers, and sulfur dioxide; and the City of Dallas's sewer odor and corrosion control services IDIQ (BR2600030262, responses due June 26, 2026) valued at approximately $10 million over thirty-six months for liquid iron salts and bioxide injection. Procurement terms typically run one to four years with renewal options; most award per line item to lowest-responsive-responsible bidder; NSF/ANSI certifications, AWWA compliance, and SAFETY Data Sheets are universal requirements; and delivery timelines cluster around five business days to two weeks post-order.
