UNSPSC 12141707: Cadmium Ca

UNSPSC 12141707 Cadmium Ca, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The source shows that jurisdictions are soliciting laboratory chemicals and consumables — forensic reagents, Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) materials, Shiga Toxin diagnostic kits, water treatment chemicals, crime scene supplies, and specialized drug standards — but none of the opportunities explicitly reference cadmium or cadmium-containing products as a procurement need. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that cadmium procurement, if occurring, is not surfacing in the recent opportunity records provided.

The opportunities that do appear under this code span forensic science agencies (Texas Department of Public Safety, District of Columbia Department of Forensic Sciences), public health laboratories (State of California), water utilities (City of Meriden, City of Arlington), sheriffs' offices (Harris County, Texas), and academic institutions (Texas A&M University). Geographic activity centers on Texas, California, and the District of Columbia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Georgia. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' IFB 304T-27-175A1.1 (due October 20, 2026) for DNA analysis reagents and drug screening consumables from Life Technologies, Promega, Qiagen, and Immunalysis; the District of Columbia Department of Forensic Sciences' RK332307 (due September 25, 2026) for NGS consumables and reagents; the State of California's RFB-IS-27200197 (due October 7, 2026) for Shiga Toxin QuikChek testing kits; and the City of Meriden's ITB B026-55 (due June 25, 2026) for water treatment chemicals including calcium hypochlorite and liquid caustic soda. Without cadmium appearing as a stated commodity in recent solicitations, the code shows little relevant recent activity to state and local buyers in this taxonomy.
