UNSPSC 40142011: Chemical hose

Hose to transport chemical products.

UNSPSC 40142011 Chemical hose (Commodity) describes hazardous-chemical delivery equipment and supplies, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows actual buying focused on bulk industrial chemicals themselves rather than hoses or delivery apparatus. Hillsborough County's recent ITB for hydrochloric acid delivered to a landfill leachate evaporator facility illustrates the practical scope: counties and special-purpose districts source technical-grade chemicals for environmental remediation, waste management, and facility operations, often bundled with delivery, tank monitoring, and hazmat compliance requirements. The issuing body in recent activity is a county government; the work entails sourcing and delivering chemicals meeting strict purity and trace-element specifications, with the supplier responsible for tanker-truck logistics, 24/7 availability, emergency response protocols, and OSHA-compliant hazmat transportation.

Hillsborough County, Florida issued ITB2600158 on February 13, 2026, seeking bids for a three-year contract to supply hydrochloric acid (31.5–33.1% by weight) with response due March 4, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time. The contract estimate is $412,957.50 over the three-year term; the County does not guarantee minimum purchase volumes. Bidders must demonstrate proven experience, carry A.M. Best–rated liability insurance from Florida-based carriers, maintain 24/7 on-call personnel, provide tank-level monitoring devices, and submit an Emergency Response Plan. Unit prices are subject to annual adjustment per the U.S. Department of Labor's Consumer Price Index. The contract may be extended to members of the Hillsborough County Governmental Purchasing Council under the same terms. No set-aside designations are noted in the available documentation.
