UNSPSC 12164401: Non emulsifying additives

UNSPSC 12164401 Non emulsifying additives, a Commodity code, covers water treatment and facility maintenance chemicals that state and local governments procure for municipal water systems, wastewater treatment plants, and specialized equipment maintenance. Recent solicitations show active procurement of calcium oxide (quicklime), liquid sodium hypochlorite, hydrochloric acid, citric acid, hydrated lime, aluminum sulfate, sodium permanganate, and proprietary OEM replacement parts and fluids—all applied to treatment plant operations, storage systems, and equipment preservation. The code sees consistent demand from municipal water departments, county water authorities, special districts, and city public utilities managing treatment infrastructure; school districts also bid for pool chemicals under this taxonomy. Issuing bodies include cities (St. Petersburg, Phoenix, Cocoa, Tucson, Meriden, Jackson, Griffin, Cartersville, Holly Hill, Valdosta), Sarasota County, Gwinnett County, the Pinellas County School Board, and regional water resource recovery districts.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Florida (St. Petersburg, Cocoa, Holly Hill), Georgia (Griffin, Valdosta, Cartersville, Gwinnett County), Arizona (Phoenix), Oregon (Clean Water Services), Connecticut (Meriden), and Alabama (Jackson), with multiple states represented in the recent three-month window. Representative procurements include the City of St. Petersburg's IFB for calcium oxide supply and delivery to the COSME Water Treatment Plant (bids due October 29, 2026), requiring NSF and AWWA certification and bulk deliveries of approximately 25 tons per order against 1,800 dry tons annual consumption under a three-year term with SBE/MBE/WBE participation requirements; the Pinellas County School Board's RFQ for swimming pool chemicals (February 11, 2026 submission deadline, estimated annual value $35,000) across five school locations; and the City of Cocoa's ITB for liquid sodium hypochlorite (bids due September 23, 2026) requiring ANSI/AWWA B300 compliance, 72-hour delivery, and 5% local preference for Brevard County vendors. Most municipal contracts run twelve months with multi-year renewal options and impose NSF 60/61 certification, AWWA standards compliance, firm per-unit pricing, FOB destination delivery with no fuel surcharges, and 72-hour delivery windows.
