UNSPSC 40142001: Acid hoses

UNSPSC 40142001 Acid hoses, a Commodity code, covers chemical delivery and containment products — though recent state and local solicitations under this code show demand skewed toward bulk hazardous chemical supply rather than hose products themselves. Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners, a Florida county government, recently issued an ITB for hydrochloric acid delivery to a landfill leachate facility, indicating that procurement offices tag chemical-supply contracts to this code even when the work involves tanker-truck logistics, tank-level monitoring, emergency response protocols, and regulatory compliance more than hose procurement. The scope includes technical-grade chemical specifications (concentration, purity, trace-element limits), delivery within three business days of purchase order, 24/7 personnel availability, OSHA and hazardous-materials transportation compliance, and insurance requirements tied to Florida-domiciled carriers. Issuing bodies under this code include county-level environmental and waste-management departments managing landfill operations and leachate treatment infrastructure.

The geographic activity identified centers on Florida, with Hillsborough County's $412,957.50 three-year ITB 2600158 for hydrochloric acid posted February 13, 2026 and due March 4, 2026 as the single recent documented opportunity. The contract included unit-price escalation tied to Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers and made the award available to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under cooperative-purchasing terms. Bidders faced standard state and local compliance requirements — Drug-Free Workplace Certification, E-Verify proof, Substitute W-9 forms, proof of liability insurance from A.M. Best–rated carriers, and Direct Deposit Authorization. No set-asides were specified. The code shows minimal recent activity; this single opportunity suggests limited volume under the Commodity designation in the state and local space.
