UNSPSC 12164400: Non emulsifiers

UNSPSC 12164400 Non emulsifiers is a Class code covering chemical additives and treatment compounds that state and local governments procure for water treatment, wastewater handling, pool maintenance, and facility operations. The recent solicitations show municipalities and special districts buying sodium hypochlorite, muriatic acid, caustic soda, calcium hypochlorite, aluminum sulfate, sodium permanganate, hydrofluosilicic acid, soda ash, potassium permanganate, polymers, and other treatment chemicals in bulk quantities—drums, totes, bags, and tanker deliveries—all NSF or AWWA certified and delivered on tight schedules (typically three to five business days). Issuing bodies include city water departments (Meriden, Jackson, Griffin, Salem, St. Petersburg, Orlando, Holly Hill), county utilities (Sarasota County, Hillsborough County, Flowery Branch, Greenville County), school districts (Pinellas County Schools), and special-purpose water and wastewater authorities. Several jurisdictions solicit repeatedly for pool chemicals or water treatment supplies annually or biennially, with water treatment procurement dominating the activity.

Geographic concentration spans Florida (Sarasota, St. Petersburg, Holly Hill, Hillsborough, Pinellas), Georgia (Griffin, Flowery Branch), South Carolina (Greenville), Texas (Lubbock), Oregon (Salem), and Connecticut (Meriden), with no single state dominating the recent sample. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Meriden ITB B026-55 (posted June 9, 2026, due June 25, 2026) seeking seven water treatment chemicals including calcium hypochlorite and liquid aluminum sulfate under Build America Buy America compliance; Sarasota County Quick Quote 2026QQ704 (posted May 12, 2026) for twelve drums of industrial-grade muriatic acid at the Bee Ridge Water Reclamation Facility; the City of Griffin, Georgia ITB #26-008 (posted April 29, 2026, due May 28, 2026) for sixteen water treatment chemicals including sodium hydroxide, liquid chlorine, and potassium permanganate on a line-item award basis; and Greenville County, South Carolina RFP #26100 (posted April 22, 2026, due May 5, 2026) requesting pool chemicals and maintenance services for twelve county facilities. Contracts typically run one year with options for three to four renewals, award goes to the lowest responsible bidder on certified products, and pricing remains firm for the initial term with adjustments tied to the Consumer Price Index.
