UNSPSC 47101615: Water fluoridation chemical

A chemical product injected from the water purification facility in order to adjust for appropriate concentration of fluorine ion of tap water.

UNSPSC 47101615 Water fluoridation chemical is a Commodity code that encompasses chemical treatment products for municipal water and wastewater systems, though recent state and local solicitations under this code focus predominantly on non-fluoridation chemicals including sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, chlorine gas, aluminum sulfate, polymers, and specialized treatment compounds for potable-water and wastewater facilities. State and local governments buying under this code span water utilities, municipal water departments, county water authorities, city public works agencies, and special-purpose water and sewer districts. Issuing bodies include individual municipalities (City of Waco, City of Cocoa, City of DeLand, City of Santa Cruz), county governments and regional authorities (Collier County, Gwinnett County, Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, Macon Water Authority, Clean Water Services District in Oregon), and school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Dallas Independent School District). Collier County, Gwinnett County, and the City of Waco appear as repeat buyers with multiple solicitations spanning the observed period.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Florida, Texas, Georgia, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include Collier County Procurement Services requesting bids on countywide chemicals for water treatment, wastewater treatment, and parks facilities covering 29 line items with estimated annual spending of approximately $4,000,000 (ITB 268705, due November 13, 2026); the City of Waco issuing multiple RFBs for individual chemical supplies including liquid chlorine, sodium hydroxide, aluminum sulfate, cationic polymers, liquid oxygen, and sulfur dioxide across municipal water and wastewater treatment plants (RFB 2026-036 through RFB 2026-044, July 30, 2026 deadlines); Hillsborough County Public Schools requesting bids for water and wastewater laboratory services covering 32 line items with testing volumes ranging from 2 to 850 tests annually (ITB 26311A-ITB-MST, due September 24, 2026); and the City of DeLand soliciting water chemicals for its Wiley M. Nash Water Reclamation Facility including polymers, liquid chlorine, and aluminum sulfate (ITB B-26-18, due September 15, 2026). Contracts typically run one to four years with NSF 60 and AWWA certification requirements standard across potable-water applications. Local-vendor preferences appear in several jurisdictions, including Collier County (local-vendor preference under Procurement Ordinance Section Sixteen) and the City of Cocoa (5% preference for Brevard County contractors). Set-asides for small businesses and minority-owned enterprises are embedded in school district and some municipal procurements (Dallas ISD mandates SBE participation evaluation; Hillsborough County Public Schools offers a Small Business Encouragement Program).
