UNSPSC 12191504: Cyclic alkanes

UNSPSC 12191504 Cyclic alkanes, a Commodity code, covers granular road maintenance salt — rock salt for snow and ice control operations that state and local highway and street maintenance departments procure on a seasonal and as-needed basis. The City of Lubbock, Texas, the only issuing body reflected in recent activity under this code, solicited approximately 1,000 tons of rock salt meeting ASTM D632 specifications (minimum 95 percent sodium chloride, controlled gradation, maximum 3 percent moisture) for delivery within 48 hours of purchase order placement. The scope centers on bulk granular salt supply with firm pricing, delivery logistics, and performance standards typical of winter road treatment programs. Insurance and bonding requirements are substantial — $1 million commercial general liability per occurrence, $2 million aggregate, $1 million automobile liability, and statutory workers' compensation coverage with $1 million employer's liability limits.

The City of Lubbock issued ITB 26-19689-YB with a response date of June 10, 2026, under a one-year initial term with four optional one-year automatic renewal extensions, subject to 90 days' written termination notice. The contract applies Texas Local Government Code 271.9051 local-vendor preference, permitting local bidders (principal place of business within city limits) to win if their bid falls within 5 percent of the lowest non-resident bid, provided the contract value remains under $500,000. Pricing was guaranteed for 60 days minimum from bid opening and for six months upon City approval; thereafter the City may adjust rates based on Consumer Price Index or Product Price Index changes with supporting documentation. Delivery is F.O.B. with all packaging and delivery costs included; the City does not guarantee minimum or maximum purchase volumes and reserves the right to terminate with 30 days' written notice. Recent activity under this code is limited to this single Lubbock solicitation; no other state, county, municipal, or special-purpose district opportunities appear in the current market.
