UNSPSC 12141749: Vanadium V

UNSPSC 12141749 Vanadium V is a Commodity code that captures laboratory and water treatment chemical supplies procured by state and local agencies. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying vanadium and related chemical reagents for forensic analysis, pharmaceutical testing, water quality monitoring, and laboratory operations—though the most visible recent activity centers on broader chemical procurement (water treatment chemicals, laboratory reagents, and diagnostic supplies) rather than vanadium specifically. Issuing bodies include state health and environmental laboratories (California Department of Health, District of Columbia Department of Finance and Services), municipal water utilities (City of Meriden, City of Tampa, City of Palm Bay), county sheriff's offices (Harris County, Texas), and academic institutions (Texas A&M University). The geographic spread spans Texas, Florida, California, Connecticut, and the District of Columbia, with multiple solicitations from California and DC alone.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of Meriden's ITB B026-55 for water treatment chemicals (Calcium Hypochlorite, Caustic Soda, Aluminum Sulfate, Sodium Permanganate, Sodium Fluoride, and Phosphate Blend) due June 25, 2026, which imposed Build America Buy America Act compliance and NSF certification requirements; Texas A&M University's ITB TAMU-ITB-26-5055 for precipitant solutions due July 15, 2026; and California's RFB 26200615-1 for Shiga Toxin QuikChek diagnostic kits due February 24, 2026. The State of California issued multiple brand-specific and open RFBs for pharmaceutical-grade chemicals and laboratory reagents (Sigma-Aldrich/Cerilliant drug standards, alcohol USP, and diagnostic supplies) with CBE set-aside designations and HIPAA compliance requirements. District of Columbia solicitations for public health and forensic laboratory supplies (consumables for Agilent instruments, NGS supplies, general lab goods) ran with tight three-to-five-day response windows, suggesting renewal or framework continuations. The code shows active but fragmented procurement with no single dominant buyer pattern and a mix of open competitive and brand-restricted solicitations.
