UNSPSC 51191602 Sodium chloride electrolytes is a Commodity code that covers specialty chemical products for municipal and institutional water treatment, wastewater operations, and healthcare delivery in state and local facilities. Recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show procurement of electrolyte solutions and related chemical commodities — including parenteral nutrition and intravenous solutions for correctional healthcare — alongside chemical treatment supplies for water pollution control. The issuing bodies are diverse: state departments of corrections, county water and wastewater authorities, and municipal water utilities. While the code name references sodium chloride electrolytes specifically, the recent solicitation universe spans a broader range of chemical and pharmaceutical inputs for essential municipal and institutional services, suggesting the code may capture multiple chemical and solution categories depending on how individual procurement offices classify their buys.

Recent opportunities span Washington, Florida, and Connecticut. The Washington State Department of Corrections issued RFQQ RFQQK13020 on September 8, 2026 (responses due October 7, 2026) for parenteral products, services, and equipment — including TPN and PPN solutions, intravenous solutions, and controlled substances — to supply eight correctional facilities across three geographic regions, with DOC anticipated to select up to three bidders per region and a contract term from November 26, 2026 through June 30, 2030. Broward County, Florida posted RFI BLD6232026F23 on September 18, 2026 (due September 29, 2026) to determine alternative suppliers and products for DeZurik/APCO valves and repair services for wastewater treatment compliance, currently single-sourced to Controls Specialties, Inc.; this RFI is exploratory and carries no purchase commitment. The City of Meriden, Connecticut solicited bids for sodium bisulfite chemical supply under IFB B027-15 (due July 29, 2026) for the Water Pollution Control Facility. Set-asides and diversity goals are prominent: the Washington DOC solicitation encourages small business (25%), minority-owned (10%), women-owned (6%), and veteran-owned (5%) participation with an aspirational 5% small and diverse business goal and Subcontractor Inclusion Plan requirements.
