UNSPSC 23281902: Chemical metal cleaner

Type of metal cleaner employing chemicals to remove the oil and grease from surfaces. Includes one or more of the following processes: solution, saponification, emulsification, dispersion, or aggregation.

UNSPSC 23281902 Chemical metal cleaner, a Commodity code, appears in recent state and local procurement with minimal connection to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities block contains twenty-three solicitations spanning facilities construction, utility infrastructure, parks, educational equipment, and vehicle lifts—none of which center on chemical metal cleaning products or services. The single opportunity nominally tagged with this code, Gwinnett County's Freezer #8 Replacement Project (sealed bid due August 7, 2026), involves walk-in freezer installation, concrete work, sprinkler system modification, and site restoration, with no mention of metal cleaners. The mismatch between the code's definition and actual buying activity suggests the code sees little relevant recent state and local procurement or that agencies are tagging opportunities incorrectly.

The issuing bodies in the broader dataset span Georgia counties (Gwinnett, Hancock, DeKalb, Colquitt), Florida municipalities and counties (Orange County, Collier County, Indian River County, Hillsborough County, Seminole County Schools), Texas cities and water districts (Cibolo, Brownsville, Dallas County, North Texas Municipal Water District), Connecticut towns (Waterford), and other scattered jurisdictions nationwide. Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with secondary presence in California, Utah, and Connecticut. Without current solicitations aligned to chemical metal cleaner procurement, investors should treat this code as inactive in the recent state and local market.
