UNSPSC 12352000: Aliphatic and aromatic compounds

UNSPSC 12352000 Aliphatic and aromatic compounds is a Class code under which state and local governments procure chemical products for facility maintenance, disinfection, and waste management operations. Recent opportunities show purchasing focused on herbicides for grounds maintenance and hypochlorous acid generators for on-demand disinfectant production across municipal facilities. The issuing bodies span city procurement departments, county commissions, and regional water authorities. Scope of work ranges from straightforward chemical supply (herbicide quotations with delivery to multiple district locations) to turnkey equipment procurement including installation, testing, personnel training, and ongoing maintenance support.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic and South, with recent solicitations from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Escambia County, Florida; and the Brazos River Authority in Texas. The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department posted a micro order purchase for herbicide (Solicitation B2728201, RFQ, due October 14, 2026) with a maximum contract value of $45,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U, requiring delivery to six district locations and structured as a requirements contract. Escambia County Board of County Commissioners sought proposals for hypochlorous acid generator purchase, installation, and maintenance (Solicitation PD2526083, due August 11, 2026), with cybersecurity requirements flagged in supporting technical documentation. The Brazos River Authority issued a sealed-bid IFB for sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal services across four wastewater treatment plants (Solicitation 261394, due August 20, 2026), with an estimated annual volume of approximately 15,040 tons of sludge and pricing on a per-ton basis over a potential five-year term.
