UNSPSC 12141905: Fluorine F

UNSPSC 12141905 Fluorine F is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity under its nominal scope. The three recent state and local opportunities posted under this code are unrelated to fluorine or fluorine-based products: two solicitations from Collin College and Collin County Community College District (both in Texas) procure welding materials, supplies, and equipment including flat bars, sheets, tubes, welding rods, and tungsten electrodes across a three-year contract term; a third from the Washington State Department of Transportation on behalf of the Washington State Ferries seeks occupational medical surveillance services including baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members across 14 Washington ferry locations. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual solicitations suggests that state and local procurement offices are tagging these opportunities incorrectly, or the code itself is not the appropriate classification for the work being bought.

The Collin College and Collin County Community College District welding solicitations (FY2024ITB020 and FY2024ITB024, both with response deadlines in March and April 2024 respectively) each target approximately $400,000 in annual volume across a three-year period, with multi-vendor award structures and evaluation weighting purchase price at 35 percent alongside references, quality, and vendor relationships. The Washington State Ferries RFP20260825 (due October 9, 2026) requires occupational medicine board certification and multi-location service delivery, using 40 percent cost-based scoring and 60 percent non-cost evaluation. No recent opportunities in this dataset actually procure fluorine or fluorine compounds, limiting the relevance of this code for business development professionals pursuing state and local work in chemical or industrial gas supply.
