UNSPSC 25111522: Chemical tanker carrier

A type of tanker ship capable of transporting chemicals and related hazardous liquids.

UNSPSC 25111522 Chemical tanker carrier (Commodity) encompasses the supply, transportation, and delivery of bulk liquid chemicals to state and local government water, wastewater, and energy facilities. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies procuring this service primarily for water treatment operations—specifically bulk sodium hypochlorite delivery and emergency chlorine scrubber maintenance—rather than dedicated tanker vessel chartering or ownership. The issuing bodies include special taxing districts (Central Florida Tourism Oversight District), municipal water utilities (North Texas Municipal Water District), and state environmental agencies (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife). Work scopes range from one-time or recurring bulk chemical supply and delivery contracts to specialized maintenance services for treatment equipment, with contractors required to provide safe transportation, regulatory compliance, and in some cases equipment servicing or training.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Oregon. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District issued ITB #C007083 on May 28, 2026, for bulk 12.5% liquid sodium hypochlorite supply and delivery to water, wastewater, and energy facilities across Orange County, with bids due June 11, 2026 and local vendor, veteran small business, and opportunity zone business preferences applied. The North Texas Municipal Water District solicited sealed bids for annual maintenance and repair services on emergency chlorine scrubber systems at its Leonard Water Treatment Plant, due April 21, 2026, with a maximum contract term of five years. The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife announced a sole-source procurement for an 18-foot electrofishing vessel from Smith Root Incorporated (estimated value $155,000), though this opportunity falls outside the code's nominal scope and represents notice-only activity rather than open bidding. The code shows active but narrowly focused state and local procurement centered on water treatment chemical supply and delivery.
