UNSPSC 47131807: Bleaches

UNSPSC 47131807 Bleaches is a Commodity code covering chemical disinfectants and sanitizers that state and local governments procure for water treatment, facilities maintenance, pool and splash pad operations, and janitorial use. Recent solicitations show municipalities and special districts purchasing sodium hypochlorite (liquid bleach) in bulk shipments for drinking water and wastewater treatment; chlorine tabs and liquid chlorine for pool and splash pad disinfection; and hydrogen peroxide for treatment processes. Issuing bodies span city water departments, county fire rescue operations, school districts through cooperative purchasing agreements, and special districts managing water quality. The code sees activity from municipal purchasing offices (Dallas, Salem, Lubbock, Scranton, Pembroke Pines), county commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida), independent school districts via cooperatives (Georgia Educational Cooperative serving 14 districts), and municipal water pollution control facilities (Town of Killingly, Connecticut).

Geographic spread is concentrated in Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Georgia, and Oregon based on recent posts. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Milpitas IFB 26-229 (Jul 23, 2026) for five-year blanket purchase orders across five maintenance supply categories including bleach and janitorial chemicals; Hillsborough County ITB 26-00319 (Jul 24, 2026) seeking consumable janitorial supplies including bleach for 47 fire stations with estimated contract value of $765,679.84; the Town of Killingly sealed proposal (Jul 13, 2026) for 14,000 gallons of sodium hypochlorite 12.5% annually for its water pollution control facility; the City of Salem RFQ (May 6, 2026) for 11,000 gallons of hydrogen peroxide 35% for drinking water ozone treatment; and the City of Lubbock ITB 26-19483-YB (Mar 18, 2026) for splash pad chemicals including 65 drums of liquid chlorine and 18 drums of hydrochloric acid through the April–October season. Water treatment and disinfection drive the largest volumes; facilities and janitorial use represent secondary but steady demand.
