UNSPSC 12164202: Combustion inhibitor

A type of additive that inhibits combustion by physicochemically improving the properties of materials.

UNSPSC 12164202 Combustion inhibitor, a Commodity code, represents a narrow product classification that does not align with the state and local solicitation activity currently posted under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to 12164202 encompass fire protection system services — fire alarm inspection and maintenance, sprinkler system testing, fire extinguisher servicing, and structural fire apparatus procurement — none of which involve combustion inhibitors as chemical products. The code shows no recent solicitations for the chemical additive itself; instead, state and local buyers are using this code designation for broader fire protection and suppression infrastructure work.

Issuing bodies include county governments, municipalities, community college districts, housing authorities, universities, and special-purpose districts across multiple states. Broward County (Florida) solicited a structural fire engine under ITB TRN2132656B1 (response due September 14, 2026); the City of Dallas (Texas) sought a three-year ID/IQ agreement for fire extinguisher and sprinkler system maintenance under BID BT2600030640 (response due September 11, 2026); and Chatham County (Georgia) posted an ITB for fire alarm system inspections and repairs at its Sheriff Complex (response due June 23, 2026). Waukesha County (Wisconsin), Boulder County Housing Authority (Colorado), and the Maricopa County Community College District (Arizona) also posted fire protection service RFQs and RFPs in the May-to-August 2026 window. The geographic spread spans Florida, Texas, Georgia, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Arizona, with scattered activity across other states. Because the code's nominal definition — combustion inhibitors as chemical products — does not match the fire protection services and apparatus being purchased, firms seeking combustion inhibitor contracts should not rely on this code for market intelligence and may encounter classification mismatches when pursuing state and local opportunities in the fire protection space.
