UNSPSC 12141724: Manganese Mn

UNSPSC 12141724 Manganese Mn is a Commodity code that covers raw chemical materials and reagents used in laboratory testing, water treatment, forensic analysis, and pharmaceutical operations at state and local government facilities. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show purchases of precipitant and treatment chemicals for water utilities, laboratory consumables and reference standards for forensic and public health testing, diagnostic reagents, and instrument-compatible supplies. Issuing bodies include municipal utilities and water treatment systems (City of Meriden, City of Tampa's David L. Tippin Water Treatment Facility), state health and forensic laboratories (District of Columbia Department of Finance and Services, State of California), university procurement operations (Texas A&M University), and county sheriff's offices (Harris County, Texas). The mix reflects a broad customer base spanning water utilities, forensic science divisions, public health laboratories, and academic institutions.

Recent activity is concentrated in Texas, California, Florida, the District of Columbia, and Connecticut. Representative recent solicitations include the City of Meriden's ITB B026-55 for water treatment chemicals due June 25, 2026, specifying calcium hypochlorite, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, sodium permanganate, sodium fluoride, and phosphate blend with AWWA and NSF certification and U.S. manufacturing requirements under the Build America Buy America Act; Texas A&M University's ITB TAMU-ITB-26-5055 for precipitant solutions with bids due July 15, 2026; the State of California's RFB 26200957-1 for brand-specific Sigma-Aldrich/Cerilliant drug standards and forensic reagents due June 2, 2026 with Certified Business Enterprise set-aside provisions; and Harris County's ITB 250415 for crime scene supplies and forensic materials including DNA collection kits, evidence containers, and specialty chemicals due June 8, 2026. Water utility demand appears to drive the largest volume, with compliance-driven laboratory testing creating secondary but consistent procurement activity across state and local public health and forensic operations.
