UNSPSC 20131201: Divalent brines

UNSPSC 20131201 Divalent brines is a Commodity code that state and local procurement offices tag for chemical supplies and materials used in operations ranging from water treatment to de-icing and industrial processes. However, the single recent opportunity posted under this code—Sourcewell RFP #061626, issued May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 response deadline—solicits law enforcement equipment on behalf of a multi-jurisdictional cooperative, not divalent brines or related chemical products. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either a coding error in the opportunity posting or minimal recent state and local activity under this Commodity code for its intended product class.

Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, is administering the law enforcement equipment RFP on behalf of participating entities including Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, and Yakima County in Washington, alongside numerous other jurisdictions and public bodies throughout the United States and Canada. The resulting contract is intended to establish a framework available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Geographic activity is concentrated in Washington state based on the county-level participants named, though Sourcewell's cooperative structure extends potential reach nationwide. No other recent opportunities under UNSPSC 20131201 appear in the available source material, indicating minimal active procurement volume for divalent brines in state and local markets during the current period.
