UNSPSC 12141752: Bohrium Bh

UNSPSC 12141752 Bohrium Bh is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work being solicited under the recent state and local opportunities posted against it. The opportunities tagged to this code cover laboratory chemicals, consumables, diagnostic reagents, and analytical testing services for water quality, forensic analysis, and public health applications — none of which involve bohrium or rare-earth elements. The issuing bodies include state health and environmental agencies (California Department of Public Health, District of Columbia Department of Forensic Sciences), municipal water utilities (City of Meriden, City of Tampa, City of Palm Bay), county governments (Harris County, Santa Clara County), and public universities (Texas A&M University). The work actually being bought comprises water treatment chemicals (calcium hypochlorite, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, sodium permanganate, sodium fluoride, phosphate blends), forensic laboratory consumables and supplies (DNA swab kits, evidence collection items, sharps containers, fingerprint supplies, indanedione), drug reference standards and reagents (Sigma-Aldrich and Cerilliant products), filtration equipment (IDEXX Filta-Max, Quanti-Tray systems), diagnostic test kits (Shiga Toxin QuikChek), pharmaceutical-grade alcohol (USP), and comprehensive laboratory testing services across multiple analytical disciplines.

Recent opportunities include the City of Meriden ITB B026-55 (due June 25, 2026) soliciting water treatment chemicals with NSF certification and AWWA standards compliance, requiring US manufacturing for select items under Build America Buy America Act requirements, with pricing on a per-unit basis and one-year contract term through June 30, 2027; Texas A&M University ITB TAMU-ITB-26-5055 (due July 15, 2026) for precipitant solutions submitted via AggieBid; the State of California RFB 26200957 (due June 2, 2026) for brand-specific Sigma-Aldrich/Cerilliant drug standards and laboratory reagents with CBE set-aside provisions; and the City of Palm Bay ITB 19-ITB-26 for comprehensive laboratory testing services across water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment programs. Recent activity concentrates in Texas, California, Florida, Connecticut, and the District of Columbia. The code shows active solicitation but carries a fundamental scope mismatch with its UNSPSC designation.
