UNSPSC 12352503: Tannins

UNSPSC 12352503 Tannins is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides procured on an as-needed basis for county maintenance operations. The code's nominal name suggests botanical tanning agents, but the single recent opportunity tagged under it reflects demand for agricultural chemicals and turf management inputs. State and local governments are soliciting these products primarily through county purchasing offices, which issue invitations for bid to qualified chemical vendors who can meet delivery, packaging, and regulatory compliance standards including OSHA Material Safety Data Sheets, Florida Department of State registration, and E-Verify verification. Vendors typically must demonstrate a minimum of three years in business with at least two comparable contracts held; pricing is submitted on an F.O.B. Destination basis and must include all labor, delivery fees, hazardous material handling, and inspection charges, with awards made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, sometimes on a line-item basis across multiple vendors.

Pasco County, Florida, is the sole recent activity identified under this code. Pasco County issued IFB-SP-26-074 on May 12, 2026, seeking as-needed supplies of herbicides, fertilizers, and pesticides for delivery to two county maintenance facilities in New Port Richey and Zephyrhills, with bids due June 16, 2026. The contract period runs through September 30, 2029, with the option to extend for two additional one-year periods, and includes bi-annual CPI-U price adjustments after the first 180 days. No budget or award value was disclosed. The solicitation carried no enterprise set-asides but permitted Local Vendor Preference for vendors holding a Local Business Tax Receipt. Recent activity under this code is limited; practitioners should verify whether the tannins code is actively used by other state and local issuing bodies for this commodity class or whether the Pasco County opportunity represents an outlier in code assignment.
