UNSPSC 12165104: Surfactant polymer SP

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

UNSPSC 12165104 Surfactant polymer SP, a Commodity code, represents chemical additives and polymer compounds that state and local governments procure for water treatment, wastewater management, facility maintenance, and fleet operations. The code encompasses surfactant-based cleaners, corrosion inhibitors, sludge dewatering polymers, and specialty chemicals used across municipal infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring these materials as blanket stock for maintenance operations, as dedicated supply contracts for treatment plants, and as specialized industrial inputs for wastewater processing and potable-water protection.

State and local issuing bodies span cities, counties, water authorities, and special districts. The City of Milpitas, Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County, City of Dallas, Great Lakes Water Authority, and Tohopekaliga Water Authority appear as recent buyers seeking supply agreements, often with five-year initial terms and renewal options. Water treatment plants and wastewater facilities dominate the customer base, though school districts and transit systems also purchase chemicals under the code. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, California, Texas, Michigan, and Oregon, with particular density in Florida municipal water systems and Georgia municipal utilities. The City of Milpitas issued IFB 26-229 on July 10, 2026, due July 23, seeking blanket purchase orders for MRO supplies across five categories including custodial cleaning products and chemicals, with a five-year contract term and local preference applying to eligible vendors within ten percent of the lowest bid. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County posted ITB 26-14/AL on July 3, 2026, due August 5, requesting cleaning chemicals (soap) with acid-surfactant and non-acid formulations for truck wash operations, requiring compatibility with existing Dosatron dilution equipment and delivery in 225-gallon tote tanks. The City of Dallas issued BR2600030262 on May 21, 2026, due June 26, for a thirty-six-month Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity service agreement valued at $10 million for sewer odor and corrosion control services using Liquid Ferrous Iron Salt, Liquid Ferrous Chloride, and bioxide additives, with mandatory SBE participation goals and a wage floor of $23.06 per hour. Tohopekaliga Water Authority (Toho) posted IFB-26-011 on February 23, 2026, due March 26, for emulsified polymer supply to process approximately 50,020 wet tons of sludge annually across five water reclamation facilities, with mandatory preliminary bench testing required March 10-12, 2026, and a three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals.
