UNSPSC 12352317: Aluminum fluoride

An inorganic compound used in production of aluminum

UNSPSC 12352317 Aluminum fluoride, a Commodity code, does not map closely to the state and local opportunities currently tagged under it. The three recent solicitations involve hypochlorous acid generators (two from Escambia County, Florida) and water-treatment chemicals from the City of Flowery Branch, Georgia, but none involve aluminum fluoride as a primary procurement item or scope driver. The City of Flowery Branch IFB does include fluoride (hydrofluosilicic acid) as one of seven chemical products in a five-year drinking and wastewater treatment contract, with an estimated 9,100 lbs annually, but this is a subordinate line item within a broader chemistry procurement covering aluminum chlorohydrate, sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, citric acid, and polymers. The issuing bodies are a county board of commissioners and a municipal water utility, both performing core infrastructure operations.

Escambia County dominates recent activity under this code, with two separate procurements in early 2026 focused on hypochlorous acid generators for facility disinfection rather than aluminum fluoride supply. The City of Flowery Branch's March 2026 IFB (26-007) is the closest match to the code's nominal scope; that solicitation requires a mandatory pre-bid meeting on March 24, 2026 at 9:30 a.m. EST with mandatory site visits, written questions due March 27, 2026 at 11 a.m. EST, and bids due April 21, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. EST. Current suppliers for water-treatment chemicals include Brenntag Mid-South, Inc. and R&M Water Solutions, LLC, with pricing reference data at $0.525 per pound for aluminum chlorohydrate and $0.279 per pound for caustic soda. Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with no broader state-level or multi-jurisdiction signaling. The code shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent opportunities tagged under it, suggesting either a classification error by the issuing bodies or limited current procurement demand for aluminum fluoride specifically.
