UNSPSC 12165103: Alkali polymer surfactant ASP

Engineered alkali, polymer, surfactant dilutions used in enhanced oil recovery solutions for full field residual oil sweep

UNSPSC 12165103 Alkali polymer surfactant ASP, a Commodity code, describes chemical treatment products state and local water and wastewater systems procure for corrosion control, odor mitigation, coagulation, and disinfection—though the recent opportunities block shows no direct solicitations for alkali polymer surfactants by name. Instead, the code's recent activity centers on closely related polymer and surfactant-based treatment chemicals: polymer for filter belt press applications, ferric chloride, magnesium hydroxide slurry, sodium hypochlorite, liquid aluminum sulfate, sodium bisulfite, and other NSF-60-certified potable-water and wastewater-treatment compounds that perform similar coagulation, flocculation, and chemical dosing functions. Municipal water and wastewater utilities issue the majority of solicitations, joined by county and special-district water authorities. The City of Tallahassee (Florida), City of Griffin (Georgia), City of Dublin (Georgia), City of Milledgeville (Georgia), Town of Manchester (Connecticut), and City of St. Petersburg (Florida) appear as repeat buyers across multiple chemical procurement cycles, indicating steady, recurring demand for treatment-chemical supply agreements.

Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida, Georgia, and Connecticut, with secondary activity in Texas, California, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Edinburg, Texas Bid #2027-06 for an annual 12-month water and wastewater treatment chemical supply (IFB, due September 29, 2026, requiring TCEQ approval and NSF/ANSI Standard 60 compliance); City of Cocoa, Florida ITB B2617COC for liquid sodium hypochlorite with 5% local preference for Brevard County contractors (due September 23, 2026, initial term October 1, 2026–September 30, 2027, renewable through 2031); and City of Tallahassee IFB-067-26-CPW for magnesium hydroxide slurry over a five-year initial term with optional two-year renewals (due June 16, 2026, contract commencing September 2026). All recent opportunities require firm fixed pricing for the initial contract year, NSF and AWWA certification, 48–72-hour delivery windows, and delivery FOB destination. Most jurisdictions reserve the right to award to multiple vendors per item and do not guarantee minimum purchase volumes.
