UNSPSC 12352301: Inorganic acids

UNSPSC 12352301 Inorganic acids is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, and phosphoric acid for water treatment, pool maintenance, wastewater processing, and industrial chemical manufacturing. Recent solicitations show Texas and Florida jurisdictions sourcing technical-grade and diluted formulations to exacting specifications, with quantities ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds or gallons per order and delivery commitments spanning one to three years. The issuing bodies include state procurement divisions (Texas Comptroller), county governments (Hillsborough County), and municipal departments (City of Tampa Parks & Recreation and Wastewater Department, City of Lubbock), indicating activity across environmental, public-health, and facility-management functions.

The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts posted IFB 304T26180A11 on June 30, 2026, requesting approximately 12,480 pounds of hydrochloric acid technical grade and 24,000 pounds of phosphoric acid 85% technical for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's janitorial and laundry manufacturing, with bids due July 7, 2026.
