UNSPSC 12141906: Arsenic As

UNSPSC 12141906 Arsenic As is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The most-recent opportunities posted under this code cover welding materials and supplies (rods, electrodes, flat bars, sheets, tubes, and pipes), laboratory and medical gases, and fire suppression agents (Halon gas), none of which involve arsenic compounds. The code appears to have been misapplied to these solicitations, and state and local government purchasing of arsenic or arsenic-based products is not evident in the recent opportunity record. The mismatch suggests either a data-entry error in how opportunities were tagged or a fundamental misalignment between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity.

Recent opportunities under this code originate from Texas and Wisconsin issuing bodies. Collin College (a community college in Texas) issued two separate three-year invitation-to-bid solicitations for welding materials and supplies with estimated annual volumes of $400,000 each, both posted in July 2026 with March and April 2024 response dates. The City of Dallas conducted an informal solicitation (IFS) for gases and containers including laboratory, medical, and welding applications, posted March 27, 2026, with an April 3, 2026 deadline. The University of Wisconsin-Madison issued a request for bid (RFB) for Halon gas, posted February 26, 2026, with a March 26, 2026 deadline. The issuing-body mix spans a community college district, a city procurement office, and a university system. No state-level purchasing activity appears in the recent record under this code.
