UNSPSC 12164506: Tablet binder

A substance that holds the ingredients in a tablet together.

UNSPSC 12164506 Tablet binder, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The UNSPSC taxonomy defines this code as covering tablet binders—binding agents or mechanical devices for organizing tablet-format items—yet the nine recent opportunities posted under or near this code are exclusively for water treatment chemicals (sodium hypochlorite, muriatic acid, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, sodium permanganate, sodium fluoride, phosphate blends, quicklime, and hydrochloric acid), pool and splash pad chemicals, wastewater treatment additives, and proprietary water system equipment and parts. These solicitations from municipal water utilities, county public works departments, city parks and recreation divisions, and school districts bear no connection to tablet binder products or materials. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a systematic tagging error in the state and local procurement systems where these opportunities were posted, or that the code number was incorrectly assigned to chemical supply and equipment maintenance contracts for water and wastewater infrastructure.

If your firm pursues work in water treatment chemical supply or pool chemical maintenance, the opportunities are substantial and geographically broad—recent solicitations span Connecticut (City of Meriden), Florida (Sarasota County, School Board of Pinellas County, City of Holly Hill, City of St. Petersburg, Hillsborough County), Georgia (City of Griffin, City of Flowery Branch), South Carolina (Greenville County), Texas (City of Lubbock), Oregon (City of Salem), and Mississippi (City of Jackson)—with issuing bodies including municipal utilities departments, county water resources and public works divisions, city parks departments, school districts, and water reclamation facilities. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Meriden ITB for seven line items of water treatment chemicals (bids due June 25, 2026), Sarasota County's Quick Quote for industrial-grade muriatic acid (due May 12, 2026), and Greenville County's RFP for pool chemicals and comprehensive maintenance services across twelve county facilities (due May 5, 2026). However, these opportunities are unrelated to tablet binder procurement and should not be pursued under this UNSPSC code.
