UNSPSC 51241801 Aluminum sulfate/calcium acetate (Commodity) describes water and wastewater treatment chemicals—specifically aluminum-based coagulants and pH adjusters used in municipal treatment processes. State and local governments procure these products as term-supply contracts directly from chemical manufacturers or authorized distributors for ongoing plant operations. The City of Austin and City of Scottsdale Water Resources Department are active recent buyers, soliciting unpackaged liquid aluminum sulfate and aluminum chlorohydrate variants through IFB and RFP notices. These are commodity supplies with firm pricing, delivery-location requirements, NSF or AWWA standards certification, and multi-year contract structures typical of utility chemistry procurement.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest, specifically Arizona and Texas. The City of Scottsdale posted two separate RFPs in July and October 2026 for aluminum chlorohydrate sulfate coagulant (ACH-S) at CAP water treatment plant and aluminum chlorohydrate 50% solution at Chaparral Water Treatment Plant (RFP 27RFP092, due August 5; RFP 27RFP105, due October 30). The City of Austin issued IFB 2200 CSH1061 on July 27, 2026 for 179,200 gallons annually of liquid aluminum sulfate at 47–49% concentration, due August 25, specifying NSF approval and AWWA B403 compliance, 500-mile distribution radius, and local business discounts of 3–5% depending on offeror size and MSA headquarters location. Both utilities require certified Certificates of Analysis, Safety Data Sheets, DOT numbers, and municipal wastewater or water-treatment references. Note: one entry in the opportunities block (City of Tampa medical aid supplies, ITB 25-P-00157) is unrelated to this code's scope and appears to be a data-tagging error.
