UNSPSC 73101602: Soda ash or chlorine or caustic soda production services

UNSPSC 73101602 Soda ash or chlorine or caustic soda production services is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure water treatment and wastewater processing chemicals, particularly sodium hypochlorite and polymer-based solids dewatering agents. Recent solicitations reflect demand for disinfectants and coagulants delivered on term contracts with firm per-unit pricing and renewal options. The work involves supplying standardized chemical products meeting NSF or equivalent certification, managing batch testing and quality verification, and maintaining performance bonds and liability insurance. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities and county water resources departments managing treatment plants and water reclamation facilities.

The City of Cocoa, Florida and Gwinnett County, Georgia posted the two most recent opportunities. Cocoa issued ITB B2617COC on September 28, 2026 for liquid sodium hypochlorite (ITB format, response deadline September 23, 2026) with a 5% local preference for Brevard County contractors, requiring 12.0–12.5% sodium hypochlorite by weight per ANSI/AWWA B300, NSF 60/61 certification, and delivery within 72 hours to six municipal facilities; the initial contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027 with four optional one-year renewals and annual pricing adjustments thereafter. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners solicited competitive sealed bids for solids dewatering and thickening polymer (posted July 1, 2026, response deadline July 30, 2026) to support treatment at three Department of Water Resources facilities with a mandatory bench-scale and full-scale performance testing requirement; the contract term is four years beginning October 19, 2026 with four optional one-year renewals and firm pricing over the initial term. Both opportunities reflect multi-year contracting frames and specify technical compliance with potable water and wastewater treatment standards.
