UNSPSC 12164508: Disintegrant

Substance that expands and dissolves when wet causing the tablet to break apart in the digestive tract, releasing the active ingredients for absorption.

UNSPSC 12164508 Disintegrant (Commodity) represents a narrow chemical classification that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The recent opportunities instead reflect broad demand for water treatment chemicals, pool maintenance chemicals, and specialized industrial acids — products that fall into different UNSPSC families and commodity codes rather than disintegrants as pharmaceutically or chemically defined. State and local water utilities, municipalities, and school districts are actively procuring sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, muriatic acid, quicklime, fluoride compounds, and polymers for drinking water treatment, wastewater treatment, and aquatic facility maintenance. The issuing bodies include city public utilities departments, county water reclamation facilities, municipal water treatment plants, county commissions, school districts, and special districts. No procurement activity in the recent block actually solicits disintegrants in the pharmaceutical or narrow chemical sense.

Geographic concentration spans the Southeast and South (Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Texas, Oregon) with the most recent activity in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Meriden, Connecticut (ITB B026-55, due June 25, 2026) seeking seven water treatment chemicals including calcium hypochlorite and sodium permanganate with June 25 response deadline; Sarasota County (Quick Quote 2026QQ704, due May 12, 2026) requesting twelve 55-gallon drums of muriatic acid for the Bee Ridge Water Reclamation Facility; the City of Griffin, Georgia (ITB #26-008, due May 28, 2026) procuring sixteen water treatment chemicals on a line-item basis; and Greenville County, South Carolina (RFP #26100, due May 5, 2026) requesting pool chemicals and maintenance services across twelve county-owned aquatic facilities. The code shows no recent activity aligned with its nominal scope and warrants reclassification review if procurement data suggests sustained mistagging.
