UNSPSC 12141752: Bohrium Bh

UNSPSC 12141752 Bohrium Bh, a Commodity code, shows recent activity centered on laboratory supplies and chemical reagents for forensic, diagnostic, and public health applications rather than the rare-earth element the code nominally describes. State and local governments are soliciting specialized laboratory consumables including DNA analysis kits, drug screening reagents, next-generation sequencing materials, Shiga toxin diagnostic tests, and water treatment chemicals. Issuing bodies span state procurement offices (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, State of California, State of Texas A&M University), county governments (Gwinnett County Georgia, Harris County Texas), cities (Arlington Texas, Meriden Connecticut), and district-level agencies (District of Columbia Department of Forensic Sciences, District of Columbia Department of Finance and Services). The mix reflects both high-volume commodity purchases for municipal utilities and specialized forensic and public health laboratory procurement, with repeat activity from the District of Columbia Department of Forensic Sciences and California state laboratories.

Recent opportunities cluster in Texas, California, Georgia, Connecticut, and the District of Columbia. Representative solicitations include the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts IFB 304T27175A11 (posted September 23, 2026, due October 20, 2026) seeking DNA analysis consumables, sequencing kits, and drug screening reagents from specified vendors including Thermo Fisher Scientific, Promega, and Qiagen for the Texas Department of Public Safety and Department of Parks and Wildlife; the State of California RFB IS27200197 (posted September 21, 2026, due October 7, 2026) for Shiga Toxin QuikChek diagnostic testing kits with a California Certified Business Enterprise set-aside component; the City of Arlington Texas ITB 270018 (posted August 19, 2026, due September 17, 2026) for an annual requirements contract supplying laboratory supplies and chemicals to municipal water treatment plants; and Harris County Texas ITB 250415 (posted May 15, 2026, due June 8, 2026) for crime scene and forensic supplies including DNA collection items, evidence containers, and specialized chemicals for the Sheriff's Office. The code shows consistent activity across both small jurisdictions and large state agencies, with forensic and public health laboratory procurement dominating the recent pipeline.
