UNSPSC 12352500: Fixatives

Stabilizing or preservative agents.

UNSPSC 12352500 Fixatives is a Class code covering chemical treatment products and additives that state and local governments procure for landscape maintenance, water treatment, and facility operations. Recent solicitations show the code encompasses herbicides, fertilizers, pesticides, and the full spectrum of water-treatment chemicals including coagulants, disinfectants, pH adjusters, and polymers used in municipal wastewater and drinking water systems. The issuing bodies include county governments and municipal utilities; Pasco County, Florida and the City of Flowery Branch, Georgia represent typical buyers in this space, each pursuing multi-year supply contracts for chemicals delivered to operational facilities on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed minimum volumes.

Geographic activity clusters in the Southeast, with documented recent solicitations in Florida and Georgia. Pasco County issued IFB SP-26-074 in May 2026 seeking herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides for delivery to two county maintenance facilities, with bids due June 16, 2026 and a contract term running through September 2029 with two optional one-year extensions, evaluated on lowest responsive and responsible bid with potential line-item awards to single or multiple vendors. The City of Flowery Branch issued IFB 26-007 in March 2026 for a five-year supply contract (beginning Fiscal Year 2027) covering seven water-treatment chemicals with an estimated 546,000 lbs of aluminum chlorohydrate annually, 3,080 gallons of sodium hypochlorite for drinking water, 45,000 lbs for wastewater treatment, and smaller volumes of caustic soda, citric acid, fluoride, and polymer, with mandatory pre-bid attendance on March 24, 2026 at City Hall and bids due April 21, 2026; the City retains secondary and tertiary award rights for supply continuity and requires NSF/ANSI/CAN 60 certification for all drinking water chemicals. Neither solicitation carried a set-aside designation, though Pasco County offered local vendor preference consideration.
