UNSPSC 51192308 Chromic chloride/cupric chloride/manganese chloride/zinc chloride is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure industrial and water-treatment chemicals for municipal operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code—and closely related chemical commodity codes—to source specialty chemicals for wastewater treatment, water pollution control, and correctional health services. The issuing bodies span municipal utilities (city water and wastewater departments), county infrastructure agencies, and state correctional departments. The scope of work includes delivery of treatment chemicals such as sodium bisulfite for water pollution control facilities, specialty valve components and services for wastewater compliance systems, and parenteral-care supplies including intravenous solutions for state correctional healthcare. Vendors must typically demonstrate compliance with municipal permit requirements, maintain documented delivery schedules, carry specified general liability and professional insurance, and in some cases undergo background clearance.

Recent activity is concentrated in Florida and Washington, with secondary activity in Connecticut. The City of Meriden, Connecticut issued an IFB on August 14, 2026 for sodium bisulfite chemical supply to its Water Pollution Control Facility with bids due July 29, 2026. Broward County, Florida posted a Request for Information (RFI) on September 18, 2026 regarding DeZurik/APCO valves, parts, and repair services for wastewater treatment compliance, due September 29, 2026, seeking to determine whether Controls Specialties, Inc.'s current sole-source arrangement could be challenged by qualified competitors. The Washington State Department of Corrections issued an RFQQ on September 8, 2026 for parenteral products, services, and equipment—including intravenous solutions and nutrition preparations—to supply eight correctional facilities across three regions (West, Central, and East), with bids due October 7, 2026 and a pre-bid conference on September 23, 2026; DOC anticipates selecting up to three contractors per region and emphasizes small business (25%), minority-owned business (10%), women-owned business (6%), and veteran-owned business (5%) participation goals.
