UNSPSC 12141502: Magnesium Mg

UNSPSC 12141502 Magnesium Mg is a Commodity code that covers raw chemical materials and elemental substances used in industrial, laboratory, and municipal operations. State and local governments procure magnesium and magnesium-based products primarily as consumable supplies for water treatment, laboratory operations, forensic testing, and chemical analysis applications. The recent opportunities posted under or adjacent to this code show activity from universities, municipalities, state agencies, and special-purpose districts—including Texas A&M University, the City of Meriden (Connecticut), the State of California, Harris County (Texas), the District of Columbia, and the City of Tampa—soliciting chemicals, laboratory consumables, and analytical materials. While the code's nominal scope is elemental magnesium, actual recent procurement activity emphasizes water treatment chemicals (calcium hypochlorite, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, sodium fluoride, and phosphate compounds), laboratory reagents and drug standards (Sigma-Aldrich/Cerilliant forensic reference materials), crime scene and forensic supplies, filtration equipment, and consumable supplies for analytical instruments. The issuing-body mix spans state procurement offices, county sheriffs' departments and utilities, municipal water and public health departments, and university purchasing operations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, California, Connecticut, Florida, and the District of Columbia. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Meriden ITB B026-55 for water treatment chemicals (Calcium Hypochlorite, Caustic Soda, Liquid Aluminum Sulfate, Sodium Permanganate, Sodium Fluoride, and Granular Phosphate Blend) due June 25, 2026, with one-year contract term and Build America Buy America Act compliance requirements for select items; Harris County ITB 250415 for crime scene supplies and forensic consumables (DNA swabs, sharps containers, nitrile gloves, petroleum ether, indanedione, and camera repair parts) due June 8, 2026; the State of California RFB 26200957-1 for brand-name Sigma-Aldrich/Cerilliant drug standards and forensic reagents due June 2, 2026, with CBE set-aside provisions; and Texas A&M University ITB TAMU-ITB-26-5055 for precipitant solutions due July 15, 2026. The code shows moderate recent activity across multiple issuing bodies and regions, with active procurement cycles spanning late spring and early summer 2026.
