UNSPSC 12352114: Aldehydes or its substitutes

UNSPSC 12352114 Aldehydes or its substitutes is a Commodity code covering chemical products used by state and local governments in water and wastewater treatment, pest and disease control in aquaculture and wildlife management, and grounds maintenance operations. State and local buyers procure formaldehyde-based products for fish hatchery disease treatment, herbicides and pesticides for county maintenance operations, and treatment chemicals including caustic soda, citric acid, fluoride compounds, and bleach for municipal drinking water and wastewater systems. Issuing bodies span state fish and wildlife agencies, county public works and maintenance departments, and municipal utilities, with procurement conducted through sealed-bid IFBs evaluated on lowest responsive and responsible cost, typically with five-year contract terms and as-needed delivery models carrying no guaranteed minimum purchase volumes. Insurance and compliance requirements are standard: workers' compensation, general liability coverage in the range of $1–$2 million per occurrence, E-Verify registration, and compliance with state or local environmental and purchasing regulations. Vendors must often hold minimum three years of prior experience in the relevant product line and demonstrate comparable contract history.

Recent activity spans Utah, Florida, and Georgia. The State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources issued IFB JF26-86 in June 2026 for 150 55-gallon barrels of FDA-approved 37% formaldehyde for fish hatchery use, with bids due June 16, 2026 and a five-year contract term.

All three solicitations required delivery to specific municipal or state facilities with City or State staff present at receipt.
