UNSPSC 73121800: Non metallic mineral products industry services

UNSPSC 73121800 Non metallic mineral products industry services is a Class code under which state and local governments procure chemical treatment products for water and wastewater operations. Recent solicitations show the code capturing supplies such as liquid sodium hypochlorite for disinfection and polymer products for solids dewatering and thickening — materials applied directly in municipal water treatment, wastewater reclamation, and sludge handling processes. Issuing bodies include city utilities and county water resources departments; the mix reflects the operational fragmentation of water infrastructure across independent municipal and regional systems rather than centralized state purchasing.

The City of Cocoa (Florida) solicited liquid sodium hypochlorite for water and wastewater treatment under ITB B2617COC with bids due September 23, 2026, seeking delivery to six facilities on an as-needed basis with a 5% local preference for Brevard County contractors and an October 1, 2026 contract start. Gwinnett County (Georgia) sought solids dewatering and thickening polymer under competitive sealed bid PE77023NONST2027000000655 with bids due July 30, 2026 for a four-year term beginning October 19, 2026, requiring bidders to conduct bench-scale and full-scale performance testing by July 22, 2026. Geographic activity spans Florida and Georgia; the code shows recent procurement momentum in water and wastewater utilities in those states but does not yet demonstrate broad-based activity across multiple regions.
