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 under which state and local governments procure chemical products and services for facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and infrastructure operations. The recent opportunities posted under this code reflect a mix of direct chemical purchasing and equipment-based chemical production services. The City of Philadelphia solicited herbicide through a micro order purchase structured as a requirements contract with a maximum value of $45,000, while Escambia County Board of County Commissioners sought proposals for the purchase, installation, and maintenance of a hypochlorous acid generator capable of producing disinfectant on demand across all county facilities. These opportunities show governments buying both finished chemical products and the systems to generate them in-house, alongside ancillary services such as installation, training, and ongoing maintenance.

Recent activity under the code spans municipal governments, county commissions, and special-purpose districts. Philadelphia's herbicide RFQ posted October 8, 2026 with delivery across six city districts and a response deadline of October 14, 2026, while Escambia County's hypochlorous acid generator RFP posted August 11, 2026. The Brazos River Authority, a water district entity, posted a separate opportunity (sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal) under this code on July 23, 2026 with an August 20 deadline, though that solicitation addresses waste disposal services rather than chemical products or production equipment and represents a mismatch with the code's nominal scope. Geographic activity is concentrated in the mid-Atlantic and Southeast, with Pennsylvania and Florida represented in the relevant chemical-procurement opportunities. The Philadelphia and Escambia County opportunities indicate that state and local demand under this code currently emphasizes purchased chemicals for grounds maintenance and facility disinfection, together with on-site production equipment and associated services to reduce reliance on external chemical suppliers.
