UNSPSC 12352132: Triclosan

A potent wide spectrum antibacterial and antifungal agent. Used as an ingredient in many detergents, dish-washing liquids, soaps, deodorants, cosmetics, lotions, anti-microbial creams, various toothpastes, and an additive in various plastics and textiles.

UNSPSC 12352132 Triclosan, a Commodity code, covers disinfectant and sanitization chemicals for state and local facility use, though recent solicitation activity shows state and local governments buying beyond triclosan itself—specifically hypochlorous acid generators, sodium hypochlorite (bleach), and allied water-treatment chemicals. Escambia County, Florida has posted two separate procurements for hypochlorous acid generators (one sole source in February 2026, one competitive RFP in June 2026), both seeking equipment capable of on-site production of disinfectant for county facilities, with the generators required to be EPA-approved and capable of producing specified concentrations while remaining safe for human and animal contact. The City of Flowery Branch, Georgia, separately issued an IFB for a five-year supply contract covering seven water-treatment chemicals including sodium hypochlorite (bleach) for drinking water and wastewater treatment, caustic soda, citric acid, fluoride, aluminum chlorohydrate, and polymer—all consumed on an as-needed basis by municipal water and wastewater operations. Issuing bodies under this code span county commissions and municipal utilities.

Activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia based on recent postings. Escambia County's February 2026 sole source procurement (SSC2526004) closed on February 25, 2026, with proposals due electronically through ProcureNow; the follow-on competitive RFP (PD2526083) has a response deadline of August 11, 2026. The City of Flowery Branch's IFB (26-007) for water-treatment chemicals closed April 21, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid meeting held March 24, 2026 at City Hall and a question deadline of March 27, 2026; the contract is structured as a one-year initial term with four optional renewal years, with no guaranteed minimum order volumes and no set-aside restrictions noted. Current baseline pricing for reference comes from incumbent suppliers Brenntag Mid-South, Inc. and R&M Water Solutions, LLC. Deliveries require specific logistics—liftgates for drinking water shipments, returnable totes for bulk chemicals, and City staff present at designated facilities—and all drinking water chemicals must carry NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification.
