UNSPSC 73101614: Ferments or enzymes services

UNSPSC 73101614 Ferments or enzymes services is a Commodity code under which state and local water and wastewater utilities procure chemical treatment products — specifically disinfectants and polymer additives — for potable water treatment, wastewater reclamation, and sludge processing. The recent opportunities show the code capturing procurement for liquid sodium hypochlorite (chlorine-based disinfectant for pathogen control and residual protection) and solids dewatering and thickening polymers (flocculants used to consolidate biosolids before dewatering). Issuing bodies are municipal water departments and county water resources authorities managing treatment and distribution infrastructure.

Recent activity centers on the Southeast. The City of Cocoa, Florida issued ITB B2617COC in September 2026 for liquid sodium hypochlorite delivery to six municipal water and wastewater facilities (625,000 gallons annually to the Dyal Water Treatment Plant alone), with bids due September 23, 2026 and contract terms from October 2026 through September 2031, subject to annual Producer Price Index adjustments and a 5% local preference for Brevard County contractors. The Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited competitive sealed bids for solids dewatering and thickening polymer on July 1, 2026, with bids due July 30, 2026, for a four-year contract beginning October 2026 covering three water reclamation and resource-recovery facilities, with optional renewal periods and mandatory bench-scale and full-scale performance testing for non-pre-approved suppliers by July 22, 2026. Both solicitations require certified product compliance, performance documentation, bonding, and multi-year pricing frameworks with renewal provisions.
