UNSPSC 51242003 Alcohol/sulfur (Commodity) covers chemical products used in municipal water and wastewater treatment, specifically liquid aluminum sulfate and related treatment chemicals. State and local governments procure this code for phosphorus removal, coagulation, and water quality management at municipal water and wastewater facilities. Issuing bodies are primarily water utilities and municipal departments — the City of Austin Water and City of Tampa Fire Rescue represent recent activity. The scope includes NSF-approved liquid chemicals meeting AWWA standards, with supplier requirements for inventory maintenance, geographic proximity to delivery points, and municipal treatment references. Suppliers must maintain Workers' Compensation and General Liability coverage and comply with local wage and subcontracting governance.

Recent activity appears limited to the Southwest. The City of Austin posted IFB 2200 CSH1061 on July 27, 2026, seeking liquid aluminum sulfate (47%–49% concentration, 179,200 gallons annually) for phosphorus removal at its wastewater treatment facility, with bids due August 25, 2026 and local and small business preference discounts of 3–5% available. The City of Tampa's Fire Rescue Department posted ITB 25-P-00157 in April 2026 for medical aid supplies, though this solicitation does not align with the chemical-treatment scope of the code and likely reflects a data-tagging error. The code shows sporadic recent activity; Austin's wastewater contract represents the most relevant recent municipal chemical-treatment procurement in the dataset.
