UNSPSC 12141743: Thallium Tl

UNSPSC 12141743 Thallium Tl is a Commodity code that represents specialized chemical materials used in laboratory, forensic, and water treatment operations across state and local jurisdictions. Recent state and local procurement activity shows this code being applied to solicitations for water treatment chemicals, laboratory consumables and reagents, forensic testing supplies, and diagnostic test kits—suggesting the code captures broader chemistry and laboratory supply procurement than thallium alone. Issuing bodies include municipalities with water treatment and public health laboratories (the City of Meriden Department of Public Utilities, the City of Tampa Water Treatment Facility, the City of Palm Bay), state health and forensic agencies (the State of California Department of Justice, the District of Columbia Department of Forensic Sciences), county sheriff offices (Harris County Sheriff's Office), higher-education institutions (Texas A&M University), and county public health departments (Santa Clara County). The mix reflects demand across water utilities, forensic laboratories, clinical testing operations, and regulatory compliance programs.

Recent opportunities span Texas, California, Florida, Connecticut, and the District of Columbia.
