UNSPSC 12352154: Diglycolamine

Diglycolamine is a chemical compound from the group of alkanolamines. use Diglycolamine is used in stripper solutions for demetallization, as an emulsifier in cooling lubricants and for gas scrubbing.

UNSPSC 12352154 Diglycolamine, a Commodity code, nominally covers a specific industrial chemical, but recent state and local procurement activity shows little use of this code for its namesake product. Instead, the three most recent opportunities posted under this code span herbicides, hypochlorous acid generators and disinfectant production systems, and sludge and liquid waste disposal services—none of which are diglycolamine or closely related chemicals. The City of Philadelphia Procurement Department issued a requirements contract RFQ for herbicide with a maximum value of $45,000 and delivery across six city districts; Escambia County Board of County Commissioners sought proposals for purchase, installation, and maintenance of a hypochlorous acid generator to produce disinfectant on demand for county facilities; and the Brazos River Authority issued an IFB for sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal services across four wastewater treatment plants in Sugar Land, Texas. Issuing bodies under this code span municipalities (Philadelphia), county governments (Escambia), and special-purpose districts (Brazos River Authority). The code shows minimal recent activity and a significant disconnect between its nominal scope and the work actually being bought.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas and Florida, with one recent opportunity from Pennsylvania. The Philadelphia herbicide RFQ closed October 14, 2026, as a micro order purchase awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder on a line-item or whole basis, requiring vendor registration through PHLContracts, a 60-day quote validity period, and proof of liability insurance ($500,000 general liability, $300,000 automobile liability minimum). The Escambia County hypochlorous acid generator proposal was due August 11, 2026, with detailed specifications and IT security compliance requirements in supporting documents. The Brazos River Authority sludge hauling IFB closed August 20, 2026 at 10:00 a.m., with bids due on a per-ton basis for sludge and per-gallon basis for backup liquid waste, requiring TCEQ registration, self-performance of hauling work, and comprehensive insurance coverage including $1,000,000 pollution liability. The misalignment between this code's chemical product name and the actual scope of recent solicitations suggests either data-entry error in code assignment or minimal use of the diglycolamine commodity classification in current state and local procurement.
