UNSPSC 12352402: Inorganic chemical mixtures

UNSPSC 12352402 Inorganic chemical mixtures, a Commodity code, covers maintenance and operational chemicals that state and local governments procure for vehicle fleets, wastewater and drinking water treatment systems, and facility upkeep. Recent solicitations show brake parts cleaners, de-icing compounds, lubricating oils and greases, solids dewatering polymers for wastewater treatment, magnesium hydroxide slurry for hydrogen sulfide control, and water-treatment chemicals including sodium hypochlorite, aluminum chlorohydrate, sodium hydroxide, and citric acid. Transit authorities dominate recent activity, with the Dallas Area Rapid Transit Authority (DART) issuing multiple purchase orders for small-quantity commodity supplies across February through July 2026. Water utilities and municipalities round out the issuing-body mix, reflecting demand for treatment chemicals tied to wastewater plant operations and corrosion control in collection systems.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with representative opportunities including DART's brake parts cleaner procurement (RFQ, reference 2097284, due March 20, 2026), Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners' solids dewatering and thickening polymer supply (competitive sealed bid PE77023NONST2027000000655, due July 30, 2026, four-year term with mandatory performance testing), the City of Tallahassee's magnesium hydroxide slurry requirements contract (IFB IFB06726CPW, due June 16, 2026, five-year term with local vendor preference opportunity), the City of Flowery Branch's wastewater and drinking water treatment chemicals procurement (IFB 26-007, due April 21, 2026, five-year term), and Pasco County, Florida's herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides as-needed supply (IFB-SP-26-074, due June 16, 2026, three-year term with CPI adjustments). DART procurement cycles are rapid—posting to due dates of 4 to 7 days—and follow purchase order structures with FOB Destination terms and Net 30 payment. Utility and county procurements typically allow 6 to 8 weeks and require performance testing, insurance, and NSF/ANSI certifications for drinking water products.
