UNSPSC 12352308: Silicates

Silicates includes oxygenated compounds containing silicon eg: asbestos, talc etc. their aplications vary and may be fillers in plastics, rubber,cements.

UNSPSC 12352308 Silicates, a Commodity code, covers mineral compounds and silicate-based materials that state and local governments procure for infrastructure maintenance, water treatment, construction, and industrial applications. State and local buyers use silicate products in road de-icing and dust control, water purification and treatment systems, cement and concrete additives, glass manufacturing, and specialty coatings. The code spans both raw silicate minerals and processed silicate compounds supplied as granules, powders, liquids, or finished products ready for direct application or incorporation into larger systems. Issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, public works agencies, water utilities, county maintenance departments, and municipalities managing roads, water systems, and facility operations.

The recent-opportunities block contains no entries for this code, indicating that state and local procurement activity under UNSPSC 12352308 Silicates has not generated tracked solicitations in the source's current dataset. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs naming this code and a response date, no geographic concentration, repeat buyers, or representative opportunities can be identified from recent market activity. This silence may reflect that silicate procurement happens through standing contracts, cooperative purchasing vehicles, or spot buys that do not trigger formal solicitation notices, or that issuing bodies classify silicate purchases under related materials codes. Firms pursuing this space should monitor state purchasing portals and water-utility procurement channels directly, as the code's lack of recent visibility does not necessarily indicate procurement dormancy.
