UNSPSC 12352156: Industrial chemicals refinery

Industrial chemical refinery involves either the condensation of metal from a vapour or the selective precipitation of metal from an aqueous solution.

UNSPSC 12352156 Industrial chemicals refinery is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of treatment and disinfection chemicals used in water systems, facility maintenance, and wastewater operations. Recent solicitations show demand concentrated on water and wastewater treatment chemicals—aluminum chlorohydrate, sodium hypochlorite, caustic soda, citric acid, hydrofluosilicic acid, and polymers—alongside emerging procurement for on-site hypochlorous acid generation equipment. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal and county utilities: the City of Flowery Branch, Georgia and Escambia County Board of County Commissioners in Florida. Municipalities issue multi-year supply contracts with firm unit-price bids and as-needed ordering, while county facilities seek both traditional chemical supply and capital equipment for in-house disinfectant production.

Geographic activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with recent solicitations posted between February and June 2026. The City of Flowery Branch issued an Invitation for Bid (26-007) on March 4, 2026 for a five-year wastewater and drinking water treatment chemical supply contract with response due April 21, 2026; the procurement specifies NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification for drinking water chemicals, mandatory pre-bid attendance at the treatment plant and well facility on March 24, 2026, and current suppliers including Brenntag Mid-South, Inc. and R&M Water Solutions, LLC. Escambia County issued two solicitations: a sole-source procurement released February 18, 2026 with an immediate February 25, 2026 deadline for an EPA-approved hypochlorous acid generator capable of producing 600 gallons per 24 hours, and a competitive RFP (PD2526083) posted June 30, 2026 for purchase, installation, maintenance, and training on a hypochlorous acid generator with response due August 11, 2026; the latter includes cybersecurity assessment requirements signaling control-system security protocols.
