UNSPSC 47101605: Bacterial removal chemicals

UNSPSC 47101605 Bacterial removal chemicals is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure these under the code as cleaning agents, defoamers, dewatering polymers, and specialty treatment chemicals for water and wastewater treatment operations — products that break down grease, biofilm, tuberculation, and microbial deposits in pipes, tanks, wells, and treatment equipment. Recent solicitations show that the code captures not only bacterial-focused removers but also a broader suite of industrial water treatment chemicals used at municipal plants, county water authorities, city treatment facilities, and special districts. Rockland County Sewer District #1 solicited a solvent-based grease and oil degreaser for wet wells and pump stations (RFBRC2026067, bids due November 12, 2026), specifying Grignard Grease Buster 3000 as the benchmark product with mandatory sample approval before award. The code is also tagged to platform buys — notably Collier County's countywide chemicals ITB (268705, bids due November 13, 2026) covering 29 line items across water and wastewater treatment for estimated annual spend of approximately $4,000,000, and water-treatment-focused IFBs in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, Oregon, and California spanning sodium hypochlorite, liquid oxygen, aluminum sulfate, polymers, caustic soda, sulfur dioxide, and other primary treatment inputs.

Issuing bodies include county water authorities (Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, Macon Water Authority, Pike County Water & Sewerage Authority in Georgia), city public utilities and water departments (Waco, DeLand, Tolleson, Valdosta, Cartersville, Cocoa, Santa Cruz), county sewer districts (Rockland County Sewer District #1 in New York), municipal wastewater treatment operators (Tampa Convention Center, Killingly Connecticut), special-purpose water districts (Clean Water Services in Oregon), and one school district (Hillsborough County Public Schools for laboratory services). Geographic concentration spans Florida (Collier, Brevard, Orange counties; multiple municipalities), Georgia (Gwinnett, Cobb, Cartersville, Valdosta), Texas (Waco), Connecticut (Killingly), Oregon (Clean Water Services), California (Santa Cruz), and New York (Rockland County). Recent activity is heaviest in Florida and Georgia. Representative opportunities include City of Cocoa IFB B2617COC for liquid sodium hypochlorite (bids due September 23, 2026, 72-hour delivery within 5% local preference), Gwinnett County BL076-26 for solids dewatering and thickening polymer on four-year annual contract (bids due July 30, 2026), and City of Waco's suite of nine separate RFBs (July 30–August 21, 2026 response window) covering liquid chlorine, caustic soda, liquid oxygen, aluminum sulfate, sulfur dioxide, cationic dewatering polymers, and polyaluminum chloride for multiple treatment plants. NSF 60 and AWWA standards dominate specification language; delivery within 48 to 96 hours is typical, and contract terms commonly run one to four years with fixed pricing in year one.
