UNSPSC 51192315: Potassium chloride/water

Electrolyte replacement solution of potassium chloride in water.

UNSPSC 51192315 Potassium chloride/water is a Commodity code that encompasses chemical supply for municipal water and wastewater treatment operations. State and local governments procure treatment chemicals—including sodium bisulfite, potassium chloride, and related compounds—for water pollution control facilities, drinking-water systems, and related infrastructure. Recent solicitations show municipalities and cooperative purchasing alliances issuing bids and RFPs for chemical supplies evaluated primarily on unit cost and product quality compliance, with standard municipal insurance and bonding requirements. The City of Meriden and multistate cooperative purchasing bodies are the primary recent issuing bodies, sourcing chemicals for pollution control and pharmaceutical/chemical distribution networks across their jurisdictions.

Geographic activity centers on Connecticut and Minnesota in the most recent opportunities. The City of Meriden's July 2026 IFB for sodium bisulfite (Solicitation B027-15, due July 29, 2026) represents typical municipal water-treatment chemical procurement; the Minnesota Multistate Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (MMCAP) RFP (S1070000015802, due March 26, 2026) demonstrates multistate cooperative purchasing for generic pharmaceuticals and OTC products distributed through authorized wholesalers with availability required by May 15, 2026. Both solicitations emphasize compliance with manufacturing standards (cGMP, DSCSA for pharmaceuticals; Connecticut-approved carriers for chemicals), bonding and insurance requirements scaled to local or multistate scope, and firm fixed pricing or competitive pricing structures. MMCAP's contract award is scheduled for July 1, 2026, with a two-year term and optional extensions through June 30, 2028 for incumbent responders.
