UNSPSC 51241805 Aluminum acetate/boric acid/eucalyptol/ichthammol/phenol/zinc oxide is a Commodity code that in practice covers aluminum-based water and wastewater treatment chemicals. State and local water utilities solicit under this code for aluminum chlorohydrate and aluminum sulfate (alum) solutions used in municipal water treatment and phosphorus removal at activated sludge facilities. Water resources departments and municipal water authorities are the primary issuing bodies, procuring these coagulant and flocculation chemicals as term supplies for ongoing treatment operations. The chemicals are ordered by concentration specification and purity standard (NSF approval and AWWA compliance are standard requirements), with delivery FOB destination and inventory minimums typically required of vendors.

Recent activity centers on Arizona and Texas. The City of Scottsdale Water Resources Department issued RFP 27RFP105 on October 1, 2026 for aluminum chlorohydrate 50% solution at the Chaparral Water Treatment Plant, with proposals due October 30, 2026. The City of Austin released IFB 2200 CSH1061 on July 27, 2026 for liquid aluminum sulfate at 47%–49% concentration for wastewater treatment, with an estimated annual quantity of 179,200 gallons, bids due August 25, 2026, and local business and small business preference discounts (5% for local businesses, 3% for small businesses, up to $500,000 in bid amount). Austin's solicitation required bidders to hold manufacturer or authorized dealer status, maintain minimum inventory of 9,000 gallons per distribution location, identify a primary facility within 500 miles, provide three municipal wastewater treatment references from Texas, and carry Commercial General Liability of at least $500,000 per occurrence with the City named as additional insured. Unit pricing must remain firm for 12 months, with price adjustments capped at 25% annually based on the Producer Price Index for chemical product manufacturing.
