UNSPSC 47101576: Chlorine granules

A bleach, chlorinator and disinfectant.

UNSPSC 47101576 Chlorine granules, a Commodity code, sits at the intersection of water treatment chemicals procurement and specialty chemical supply, though recent state and local opportunities under this code show limited direct activity. State and local governments buying under this code procure granular and liquid chlorine products for drinking water disinfection, wastewater treatment pathogen control, and pool sanitation at water treatment plants, reclamation facilities, and recreational venues. The recent opportunities block reveals a notable mismatch: most chlorine-related solicitations name liquid chlorine (one-ton containers, 150-pound cylinders) or sodium hypochlorite solutions rather than granular chlorine products, suggesting that the code's nominal commodity scope does not align with what municipalities are actively purchasing at scale today. Water and wastewater authorities, municipal water departments, and regional utility districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with recurring buyers including the City of Waco (which posted nine separate chemical RFBs in July–August 2026), Collier County (Florida), and multiple Georgia municipalities.

Geographic concentration is heaviest in the Southeast and Texas. Georgia cities—Cartersville, Dublin, LaGrange, Milledgeville, Valdosta, and Macon—account for six recent procurements; Florida jurisdictions (City of Cocoa, City of DeLand, Collier County, and others) account for five; Texas agencies (City of Waco, City of Tolleson) have posted multiple RFBs. Clean Water Services District (Oregon) and Santa Cruz Water Department (California) represent West Coast activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Cocoa ITB B2617COC for liquid sodium hypochlorite (12.0–12.5%, NSF 60/61 certified) due September 23, 2026, requiring delivery within 72 hours to six municipal facilities; the City of Waco RFB 2026-042 for liquid chlorine in one-ton containers and 150-pound cylinders due August 21, 2026, split into two separately awardable groups; Cartersville Water Department's IFB for chlorine (100% liquid in ton cylinders, 10 annual loads of six cylinders) due October 30, 2026; and Collier County's countywide chemicals ITB 268705 (due November 13, 2026) specifying sodium hypochlorite, chlorine, and 29 other chemical line items with historical annual spending around $4 million. The code shows modest recent activity overall, with chlorine supply concentrated among established municipal water systems operating on annual or multi-year contracts using pre-approved or qualified-equal product specifications and requiring NSF/AWWA certification compliance.
