UNSPSC 12141707: Cadmium Ca

UNSPSC 12141707 Cadmium Ca, a Commodity code, does not show meaningful recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The most recent opportunities posted under this code are for laboratory chemicals, precipitant solutions, and diagnostic test kits purchased by universities, cities, counties, and state agencies—but none of the solicitations explicitly reference cadmium or cadmium-based products. Texas A&M University's ITB for precipitant solutions (TAMU-ITB-26-5055, due July 15, 2026) and the City of Meriden's ITB for water treatment chemicals (B026-55, due June 25, 2026) specify alternative chemistries: precipitants, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, and sodium permanganate for Meriden's application. The State of California's RFB for Sigma-Aldrich/Cerilliant drug standards (26-0534, due June 2, 2026) and the District of Columbia's solicitations for public health laboratory consumables and Agilent instrument supplies target specialized laboratory reagents and equipment consumables, not cadmium compounds. Harris County's crime scene supplies ITB (250415, due June 8, 2026) requests forensic and evidence collection items including some chemical reagents, but no cadmium specification is present in the available scope.

The issuing bodies span university procurement (Texas A&M), municipal water utilities (City of Meriden, City of Tampa), state procurement offices (California, District of Columbia), and county sheriffs' departments and public health laboratories. Geographic activity is dispersed across Texas, Connecticut, California, Florida, and the District of Columbia, with no concentration in a single jurisdiction. Because none of the recent opportunities reference cadmium or cadmium-containing materials, and the code is tagged to unrelated commodities and services, pursuit under this code does not align with actual state and local buying patterns in the dataset. Practitioners should verify whether cadmium or cadmium compounds appear in historical procurement records outside this sample or consult issuing bodies directly to confirm whether the code is actively used for cadmium procurement.
