UNSPSC 47101611: Demulsifiers

UNSPSC 47101611 Demulsifiers (Commodity) represents water treatment chemicals and specialty additives that state and local water and wastewater systems deploy to break down oils, grease, and emulsified contaminants in treatment processes and facility maintenance. Recent procurement activity shows demand concentrated in municipal water treatment plants, county water authorities, and wastewater treatment facilities soliciting demulsifiers and related treatment chemicals as part of annual or multi-year supply contracts. The code encompasses both standalone demulsifier products (solvents and degreasers for grease and oil removal in wet wells and pump stations) and broader chemical procurement vehicles where demulsifiers appear as line items alongside coagulants, polymers, disinfectants, and corrosion-control additives. Issuing bodies span cities (Dallas, Waco, Meriden, DeLand, Cocoa, Tolleson, Valdosta), counties (Collier, Gwinnett, Walton, Pike), water authorities (Cobb County–Marietta, Macon, Clean Water Services, Pike County), school districts (Dallas ISD, Hillsborough County Public Schools), and sewer districts (Rockland County Sewer District #1). Repeat buyers include cities in Texas (Waco issued nine separate RFBs for liquid chlorine, polymers, oxygen, sulfur dioxide, aluminum sulfate, and related treatment chemicals in July–August 2026) and Florida municipalities (Collier County, Cities of DeLand and Cocoa issued multiple chemical ITBs).

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary activity in Oregon, Connecticut, and California. Representative solicitations include Rockland County Sewer District #1 (RFBRC2026067, chemical degreaser for wastewater wet wells, bids due November 12, 2026 via ITB), Collier County (268705, countywide water and wastewater treatment chemicals across 29 line items including polymers and sodium hydroxide, ITB due November 13, 2026, estimated historical annual spend $4 million), City of Cocoa (B2617COC, liquid sodium hypochlorite for potable and wastewater systems, ITB due September 23, 2026, 5% local vendor preference), Clean Water Services District, Oregon (SX3435000017998 and SX3435000017997, sodium hydroxide and sodium bisulfite in bulk, ITBs due September 30, 2026), and Cobb County–Marietta Water Authority (PE66365NONST2027000000035, 2027 water treatment chemicals, ITB due October 6, 2026, Certificate of Origin mandatory). Pricing frameworks emphasize unit costs per gallon, dry ton, or net pound delivered FOB destination with firm pricing for one to four years; NSF 60/61 and AWWA certification compliance is standard across all opportunities. Local vendor preferences and small-business set-asides appear in Collier County (Ordinance Section Sixteen local preference), Cities of Cocoa and DeLand (5% local preference), and Dallas ISD (30% SBE participation goal). Delivery performance expectations typically mandate 48–96 hour turnaround or two–five business day fulfillment windows.
