UNSPSC 12142107: Hydrogen sulfide

A colorless, toxic, flammable gas that is responsible for the foul odor of rotten eggs and flatulence.

UNSPSC 12142107 Hydrogen sulfide, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers hydrogen sulfide gas products, but the recent opportunities posted under this code do not reflect purchases of hydrogen sulfide itself. Instead, the tagged solicitations cover occupational medical surveillance services, gas cylinder rentals (propane, oxygen, acetylene, argon, nitrogen, and calibration dry gas), and welding materials—none of which align with hydrogen sulfide procurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what state and local governments are actually buying under this UNSPSC designation suggests either a tagging error in the source data or that hydrogen sulfide as a standalone commodity sees no current state and local solicitation activity.

The recent opportunities that do appear under this code come from Washington State Department of Transportation (occupational health services), Mississippi Department of Corrections (industrial gas cylinder rentals across three separate RFQs), Collin College in Texas (welding materials and supplies), and the State of Oregon Department of State Police (calibration dry gas for breath alcohol testing equipment). Geographic activity clusters in Mississippi, Washington, Texas, and Oregon, but the solicitations themselves fall outside hydrogen sulfide's product scope. Bidders evaluating this code should verify the UNSPSC classification with issuing bodies before pursuing—the code appears inactive for its intended commodity and may reflect data organization issues rather than current procurement demand.
