UNSPSC 47101617: Water treatment chemicals

Water treatment chemicals utilizes the additive of chemicals to make industrial water suitable for use or discharge. These includes processes like chemical precipitation, chemical disinfection, Advanced oxidation process (AOP), ion exchange, and chemical neutralization.

UNSPSC 47101617 Water treatment chemicals is a Commodity code covering the supply and delivery of chemical products for municipal water and wastewater treatment operations. State and local water authorities, city utilities, county water departments, and special-purpose water districts buy under this code to procure coagulants, disinfectants, pH adjusters, polymers, oxidants, and specialty treatment chemicals essential to potable water and wastewater processing. Recent solicitations reflect a mix of single-chemical procurement (sodium hypochlorite, chlorine, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate) and comprehensive multi-item chemical contracts serving treatment plants across entire municipal systems.

Issuing bodies span city utilities (Waco, Santa Cruz, Cocoa, Meriden, DeLand, Tolleson, Valdosta, Cartersville), county water authorities and special districts (Collier County, Cobb County-Marietta Water Authority, Clean Water Services in Oregon, Tampa Bay Water, Macon Water Authority, Pike County Water & Sewerage Authority in Georgia), state environmental agencies (Maryland Environmental Service, Maryland Department of the Environment), and transit or special-purpose procurement for schools and convention centers. The mix reflects recurring, high-volume chemical procurement across municipal infrastructure. Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Collier County, Tampa Bay Water, Cocoa, DeLand), Georgia (Gwinnett County, Cartersville, Valdosta, Macon, Cobb County), and Texas (Waco, with eight separate RFB notices for distinct chemical products posted July 30, 2026). Representative recent opportunities include Collier County's countywide chemicals ITB 268705 (posted October 13, 2026, due November 13, 2026) spanning 29 line items across water, wastewater, and recreation facilities with estimated annual volumes from 3,000 to 8,000,000 pounds and historical spending near $4 million annually; the City of Waco's series of July 2026 RFBs for liquid chlorine, sodium hydroxide, cationic polymers, and oxygen (due August 20–21, 2026) targeting specific treatment plants; Clean Water Services' ITBs for sodium bisulfite and sodium hydroxide solution (September 17, 2026, due September 30, 2026) in bulk form; and the City of DeLand's ITB B-26-18 (September 28, 2026, due September 15, 2026) for flocculant polymers and specialty treatment chemicals at its reclamation facility. Delivery windows are typically firm—24 to 96 hours in most cases—with F.O.B. destination pricing, NSF/ANSI certification mandates, and annual or multi-year contract terms. Activity is steady and geographically dispersed across municipal tier, signaling sustained demand for qualified chemical suppliers capable of rapid fulfillment and compliance with potable-water standards.
