UNSPSC 47101505: Chlorine handling equipment

UNSPSC 47101505 Chlorine handling equipment, a Commodity code, does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this classification. Recent Marion County, Florida sole-source notices indicate the code is being applied to laboratory and operational equipment for wastewater and utility management—specifically chlorine analyzers, NTU meters, pH sensors and probes, turbidity measurement instruments, and repair parts consumed in everyday operations supporting closed-loop wastewater-recycle systems and equipment cleaning. The issuing-body mix centers on utilities departments and county water-and-wastewater agencies soliciting through their procurement offices. Marion County appears as a repeat buyer under this code, with two separate sole-source notices posted within weeks of each other (September and October 2026). The code shows limited recent activity; the opportunities identified are Marion County notices of intent rather than competitive solicitations or awarded contracts, suggesting that when this code is used, it typically flags narrow procurement for specialized analytical equipment where a single vendor has been pre-identified as meeting operational requirements.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida, specifically Marion County, with no other states or jurisdictions represented in the recent opportunities. The most recent procurement is Marion County Board of County Commissioners' sole-source notice (26SS-138), posted September 23, 2026, with a public-comment window closing September 30, 2026, for chlorine analyzers, turbidity meters, pH sensors and probes, and repair parts to support wastewater operations—Marion County intends to award to Swan Analytical Instruments but is posting under Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c) to determine whether bona fide competition exists. A second Marion County notice of intent (27SS-006), posted October 12, 2026, carries a response deadline of October 16, 2026, but addresses police and security surveillance equipment rather than chlorine handling, indicating a code-tagging mismatch. The code shows little relevant recent activity outside the Marion County analytical-equipment procurement.
