UNSPSC 12352310: Silicones

Silicones are siloxane polymers based on silicons and oxygen used for adhesives, sealants etc

UNSPSC 12352310 Silicones, a Commodity code, shows limited recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope; the most recent state and local opportunities posted under it involve chemical products for municipal operations, but they span calcium chloride for ice control, dewatering polymers, and magnesium hydroxide slurry for wastewater treatment—materials outside the silicones family. Dallas County posted two spare commodity RFQs for sealant compound and brake-parts cleaner in mid-2026 with minimal descriptive detail. The calcium chloride solicitation from the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement, posted September 30, 2026 with quotes due October 14, 2026, represents the most concrete recent opportunity; Detroit seeks 200,000 gallons for street de-icing via vendor loading plus 100,000 gallons for delivery, with vendors required to carry three years of experience and maintain 24/7 facility access within 20 miles of city limits. Detroit applies equalization credits to certified local businesses ranging from 1% to 5%, with awards to the lowest equalized bidder provided the equalized price does not exceed 12% above the lowest responsible bid or $100,000, whichever is less.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Georgia. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited competitive sealed bids for solids dewatering and thickening polymer on July 1, 2026 with bids due July 30, 2026, covering three water reclamation facilities with a four-year initial term plus four optional one-year renewals beginning October 19, 2026; the City of Tallahassee issued an Invitation for Bid for magnesium hydroxide slurry on May 1, 2026 with bids due June 16, 2026 for a five-year initial term plus optional two-year renewals, serving over 165,000 people across a 1,000-mile sewer system. Pasco County, Florida, posted an Invitation for Bid on May 12, 2026 for herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides on an as-needed basis with deliveries to two maintenance facilities and bids due June 16, 2026 through September 30, 2029 with two optional one-year extensions. The Brazos River Authority in Sugar Land, Texas, solicited sealed bids for sludge hauling and liquid waste disposal services across four wastewater treatment plants on July 23, 2026 with bids due August 20, 2026, covering approximately 15,040 tons of annual sludge hauling. The code shows sparse activity with tenuous silicones relevance; opportunities are concentrated among water and wastewater authorities and counties seeking specialized treatment chemicals rather than silicone-based products.
