UNSPSC 12191600: Oxygenated solvents

UNSPSC 12191600 Oxygenated solvents is a Class code under which state and local governments procure specialty solvents for infrastructure maintenance and construction applications, particularly asphalt extraction and release agents used in road and pavement work. The code captures chemical products formulated to extract bituminous material from asphalt or to prevent adhesion during asphalt placement and compaction. State and local issuing bodies under this code include city procurement departments and public works authorities managing transportation infrastructure and maintenance contracts.

The City of Philadelphia is the primary recent buyer on record, issuing two micro purchases in July 2026 for asphalt extraction solvent (B2727411, due July 15, 2026) and asphalt release agent (B2727408, due July 15, 2026), each with a maximum contract value of $45,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U from January 1, 2020 and rounded to the nearest thousand dollars. Both solicitations are lowest-responsive-and-responsible-bidder awards with 365-day contract terms from purchase-order issuance, accepting quotes from multiple sellers or by individual line item at the City's discretion. Delivery is FOB Destination Point, and sellers must maintain workers' compensation insurance at statutory limits, general liability insurance with a $500,000 per-occurrence minimum, and automobile liability insurance with a $300,000 per-occurrence minimum. Quotes are valid for 60 days from submission and must be submitted through PHLContracts; the City is exempt from federal excise, transportation, and Pennsylvania sales and use taxes. Submissions require a signed Consent and Authorization Agreement prior to quote closing, and an optional LGBTQ Applicant Data Form is available for voluntary demographic tracking.
