UNSPSC 12141723: Lead Pb

UNSPSC 12141723 Lead Pb is a Commodity code covering lead and lead-based chemical products and solutions procured by state and local laboratories, water utilities, and public health agencies for analytical testing, water treatment, and forensic operations. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying precipitant solutions for laboratory use, pharmaceutical-grade chemicals for water treatment and quality assurance, forensic and laboratory reagents for drug analysis and environmental testing, and consumable supplies supporting laboratory operations. The issuing bodies span state procurement offices (California, Texas A&M University as a higher-education procurement entity, the District of Columbia), county governments (Santa Clara County), cities (Meriden, Tampa, Palm Bay), and county sheriffs' offices (Harris County). Water utilities, public health departments, forensic laboratories, and environmental testing programs drive the majority of recent activity, with repeat activity from the District of Columbia Department of Finance and Services and its subordinate forensic and public health laboratory divisions.

Geographic activity concentrates in California, Texas, Connecticut, Florida, and Washington D.C., with supporting solicitations from additional states. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Meriden ITB B026-55 for water treatment chemicals (posted June 9, 2026, due June 25, 2026) covering seven line items including calcium hypochlorite, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, sodium permanganate, sodium fluoride, and phosphate blend with NSF certification and Build America Buy America Act compliance; the State of California RFB 26200957-1 for brand-specific Sigma-Aldrich and Cerilliant drug standards and forensic laboratory reagents (posted May 25, 2026, due June 2, 2026) with mandatory Certified Business Enterprise status documentation; Texas A&M University ITB TAMU-ITB-26-5055 for precipitant solutions (posted June 26, 2026, due July 15, 2026); and Harris County ITB 250415 for crime scene supplies including forensic DNA and evidence collection items, sharps containers, fingerprint collection supplies, and various chemicals (posted May 15, 2026, due June 8, 2026). Multiple District of Columbia procurement activities for public health laboratory and forensic laboratory consumables indicate sustained demand from that jurisdiction's laboratory operations.
