UNSPSC 12352311: Alumina and other aluminum compounds

Alumina and other aluminium compounds readly absorb water from air and are powdery coumponds of aluminum used in varied application based on the use and perspective of the same chemistry by different people.

UNSPSC 12352311 Alumina and other aluminum compounds is a Commodity code that in recent state and local practice covers chemical compounds used in municipal water treatment, wastewater management, and public works maintenance—notably calcium chloride for winter road treatment, magnesium hydroxide slurry for wastewater hydrogen sulfide and corrosion control, and solids dewatering and thickening polymers for sludge processing. State and local buyers include city public works departments, county water authorities, wastewater treatment operators, and special-purpose districts managing water resources. The City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement, the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the City of Tallahassee, and the Brazos River Authority appear as recent solicitors, suggesting that codes in this family attract activity from both general-purpose municipalities and infrastructure-focused special districts.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, Michigan, and Texas. The Detroit Public Works Department posted an RFQ on September 30, 2026 (quotes due October 14, 2026) for 200,000 gallons of liquid calcium chloride at 57–62% concentration for ice control on city streets, with local vendor pricing credits of 1–5% under Detroit's equalization policy. The City of Tallahassee issued IFB No. 067-26-CPW (sealed bids due June 16, 2026) for Magnesium Hydroxide slurry—a firm-fixed-price, five-year requirements contract with optional two-year renewals—requiring 8.0–7.0 lb/gal concentration, ANSI/NSF Standard 60 certification, and delivery within three calendar days of order or 24 hours for emergency calls; the solicitation offers local vendor preference for businesses with a permanent place of business and full-time employees in Leon, Wakulla, Gadsden, or Jefferson County. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited competitive sealed bids (due July 30, 2026) for solids dewatering and thickening polymer under a four-year annual contract with optional one-year renewals, specifying the pre-approved product Polydyne Clarifloc SE-1748 with mandatory bench and full-scale performance testing for alternatives by July 22, 2026.
