UNSPSC 73152002: Aerosol filling services

UNSPSC 73152002 Aerosol filling services (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally covers aerosol product filling and packaging operations, yet the only recent opportunities posted under it concern water treatment equipment — specifically rate of flow controllers and butterfly valves for municipal potable water systems. This suggests either a data-tagging error in the source system or a stale code classification that no longer reflects actual buying patterns.

The City of Lubbock, Texas posted duplicate ITBs (26-19653-YB) in May 2026 for replacement flow control and measurement equipment at its North Water Treatment Plant, with sealed bids due May 27, 2026. Neither solicitation involves aerosol filling; both specify factory-assembled venturi-type flow controllers (0–144 inches water column range, ±0.5 percent accuracy) paired with AWWA C504–compliant 16-inch butterfly valves with cast iron bodies, Type 316 stainless steel liners, and NSF 61–approved epoxy coatings. The City offered a non-mandatory site visit on May 20, 2026, and applied a local vendor preference (five percent price threshold on contracts under $500,000) along with mandatory vendor certifications covering debarment status, Iran sanctions compliance, and cybersecurity controls. The code appears to carry no relevant recent activity for aerosol filling services in state and local procurement at this time.
