UNSPSC 76121903: Chemical detoxification

UNSPSC 76121903 Chemical detoxification, a Commodity code, encompasses water treatment chemicals and services that state and local water and wastewater systems procure to manage boiler, cooling tower, and closed-loop water systems—including treatment compounds, scale and corrosion inhibitors, biocides, testing services, and field application. Recent solicitations show municipal water pollution control authorities and correctional facilities purchasing silicon dioxide defoamers, boiler water treatment chemicals with monthly or bi-monthly service cycles, cooling tower inhibitors and biocides, and comprehensive water quality testing programs. Issuing bodies include municipal water authorities (Stamford and Killingly in Connecticut, Phoenix and San Antonio), state corrections departments (Colorado Department of Corrections), school districts (Parkway School District, Missouri), community college systems (Maricopa County Community College District, Arizona), and city water departments (Charlotte Water, North Carolina). The code shows active procurement across Connecticut, Colorado, Arizona, Missouri, North Carolina, and other states, with Colorado and Arizona displaying multiple recent opportunities from the same agencies.

Representative recent opportunities include the Town of Killingly, Connecticut's ITB for silicon dioxide defoamer delivery to its Water Pollution Control Facility with proposals due August 3, 2026, seeking 12 to 55 barrels annually; the Colorado Department of Corrections' documented quote for boiler water chemical treatment, laboratory testing, and technical support at Sterling Correctional Facility with quotes due July 30, 2026, covering thirteen line items including corrosion inhibitors, scale inhibitors, biocides, oxygen scavengers, and monthly water treatment services on three boilers; the City of Phoenix's IFB for cooling tower water treatment services across multiple city facilities with offers due July 29, 2026, requiring five years of operational history and ISO 9001 certification; and Parkway School District's RFP for water treatment chemicals and services with a bid opening scheduled April 3, 2026, targeting approximately fifty thousand dollars annually for five cooling tower systems and closed-loop systems. Contracts typically run one to three years with renewal options, and pricing is commonly structured as firm and fixed for the initial term with limited annual escalation caps thereafter.
