UNSPSC 47101558: Foam breaker

A device that sprays and ejects water with a nozzle that is installed at a certain distance from the water surface to remove the foam.

UNSPSC 47101558 Foam breaker is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure foam-control chemical additives and treatment systems under this code to suppress foam formation in water and wastewater treatment processes, though recent opportunities show the code is tagged inconsistently against the actual work being solicited. The recent opportunities logged against this code span reverse osmosis and deionized water system maintenance (Texas State University), chilled and heating water loop extensions (Collin College and Frisco ISD), chilled water loop treatment services (Tampa Convention Center and Seminole County schools), lime softening improvements and blend tank construction (Collier County, Florida), and solids dewatering polymer procurement (Gwinnett County, Georgia). The issuing bodies are predominantly county water authorities, municipal water departments, special districts, and education institutions in Texas, Florida, and Georgia. None of the recent opportunities actually solicits foam-breaker chemicals or products by name or specification.

The geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida (Collier County, Tampa, Seminole County, and additional notices) and Georgia (Gwinnett County, Athens-Clarke County), with secondary activity in Texas (Collin College, Texas State University, City of Waxahachie). A representative recent opportunity is Gwinnett County's procurement of solids dewatering and thickening polymer on an annual contract (Solicitation PE77023NONST2027000000655, sealed bids due July 30, 2026), which names Polydyne Clarifloc SE-1748 as the pre-approved product and requires bench-scale and full-scale performance testing by July 22, 2026. However, this and most other tagged opportunities address water treatment process chemicals, membrane systems, pumping infrastructure, and system upgrades—not foam breakers. The code assignment appears misaligned with procurement activity; genuine foam-breaker demand is not evident in the current opportunities block.
