UNSPSC 12352151: Diethanolamine

Diethanolamine including methyl diethanolamine is a member of the class of ethanolamines that is ethanolamine having a N-hydroxyethyl substituent. It has a role as a human xenobiotic metabolite. It derives from an ethanolamine.

UNSPSC 12352151 Diethanolamine is a Commodity code that nominally covers the chemical compound used in industrial formulations, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows little direct alignment with the abstract product name. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve herbicide supply (City of Philadelphia), hypochlorous acid generator purchase and installation (Escambia County Board of County Commissioners), and sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal services (Brazos River Authority) — none of which represent diethanolamine procurement. The issuing bodies span city government (Philadelphia), county government (Escambia County), and a regional special-purpose district (Brazos River Authority), suggesting wide cross-jurisdictional application, though the small sample size limits characterization of repeat buyers or issuing-body concentration.

The most recent activity appears concentrated in the South and Mid-Atlantic regions, with solicitations from Texas, Florida, and Pennsylvania within the past three months. The Philadelphia Procurement Department posted a requirements contract for herbicide quotations on October 8, 2026, with a due date of October 14, 2026, for a maximum contract value of $45,000 (adjusted annually by CPI-U) and delivery across six city districts. Escambia County posted an RFP for hypochlorous acid generator purchase, installation, and maintenance on August 11, 2026, with the same due date, requiring cybersecurity compliance and ongoing equipment support. The Brazos River Authority posted an IFB for sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal on July 23, 2026, due August 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., covering approximately 15,040 tons of annual sludge transport across four wastewater treatment plants. The code shows minimal recent activity that directly reflects its commodity definition; business development professionals should verify whether this code is the intended classification vehicle for these opportunities or whether a mismatch in coding exists upstream.
