UNSPSC 12191503: Phenols or its substitutes or derivatives

UNSPSC 12191503 Phenols or its substitutes or derivatives is a Commodity code capturing chemical compounds and their formulations procured by state and local entities. However, the recent state and local activity under this code does not align with the nominal scope — the one identifiable recent opportunity is an as-needed supply contract for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate, a heavy metal compound used in water treatment, algaecide applications, and industrial processes, not phenolic compounds or their derivatives. The mismatch suggests either a coding error in the source or that this Commodity tier code is rarely used for its intended product class in state and local procurement.

Pasco County, Florida posted an RFQ (RFQFP261004) on June 3, 2026, with proposals due June 26, 2026, seeking one or more vendors to supply large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an indefinite-quantity basis. No estimated contract value, term, set-asides, preferences, or detailed evaluation criteria are disclosed in the opportunity. This narrow and possibly miscoded opportunity provides insufficient evidence of sustained state and local demand under the Commodity code as named; additional activity in other jurisdictions or states would be required to establish a pursue signal. The code warrants monitoring for clarification on whether it is being used for phenolic products or for broader inorganic chemical supply categories in state and local procurement.
