UNSPSC 73101801: Biomass production services

UNSPSC 73101801 Biomass production services (Commodity) encompasses water and wastewater treatment chemical supplies that state and local water utilities procure on recurring annual or multi-year contracts. Recent solicitations show the code capturing routine chemical procurement for municipal and county water systems—specifically sodium hypochlorite for disinfection and dewatering polymers for sludge treatment—rather than biomass cultivation or feedstock production. Water authorities and county departments of water resources are the primary issuing bodies, purchasing these treatment chemicals in bulk quantities with firm pricing, NSF and ANSI standards compliance, and delivery schedules tied to operational demand.

The City of Cocoa, Florida issued ITB B2617COC in September 2026 for liquid sodium hypochlorite delivered to six water and wastewater facilities on an as-needed basis within 72 hours, with a five-year contract span at a 5% local preference for Brevard County contractors. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia solicited competitive sealed bids in July 2026 for solids dewatering and thickening polymer on a four-year annual contract with four optional renewal periods, requiring full-scale performance testing and certificates of analysis with each shipment. Both opportunities demand multi-year terms with firm pricing for initial periods, performance bonding, and proof of prior business experience. Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast (Florida and Georgia), where municipal water systems operate year-round treatment programs requiring regular chemical supply.
