UNSPSC 12352330: Chlorhydrate

Chloral hydrate is a geminal diol with the formula C2H3Cl3O2. It is a colorless solid. It has limited use as a sedative and hypnotic pharmaceutical drug

UNSPSC 12352330 Chlorhydrate, a Commodity code, covers chemical disinfectants and water treatment compounds that state and local governments procure for facility sanitation, wastewater treatment, and drinking water purification. Recent solicitations show demand for both commodity chemicals—aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH), sodium hypochlorite (bleach), sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), citric acid, fluoride, and polymer coagulants supplied in bulk to water treatment plants—and specialized on-site hypochlorous acid generation equipment that enables municipalities to produce disinfectant on demand. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, municipal water and wastewater departments, and facilities management offices. The work ranges from recurring multi-year supply contracts for treatment chemicals to capital procurements for generator equipment with installation, training, and ongoing maintenance.

Recent activity centers in Florida. Escambia County Board of County Commissioners issued a sole source RFP (SSC2526004, posted February 25, 2026) for an anolyte generator capable of producing a minimum 600 gallons of hypochlorous acid per 24 hours at 200–500 PPM, with EPA approval, on-site labeling, 24/7 support, and cloud-connected compliance reporting. The same county subsequently posted a competitive RFP (PD2526083, due August 11, 2026) for purchase, installation, and maintenance of a hypochlorous acid generator meeting similar specifications and including cybersecurity requirements.
