UNSPSC 12142201: Deuterated solvents

UNSPSC 12142201 Deuterated solvents, a Commodity code, addresses the procurement of specialized chemical solvents used primarily in analytical and research applications within state and local laboratories and educational institutions. Deuterated solvents — organic liquids with deuterium atoms substituted for hydrogen — are essential for nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, and other analytical chemistry work. State and local buyers under this code include university chemistry and materials-science departments, state environmental and health laboratories, forensic and crime-lab facilities, and research institutions that conduct quantitative chemical analysis or materials characterization.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities under this code. This narrow, specialized commodity sees limited procurement volume outside research universities and state-operated analytical facilities, and issuing bodies typically acquire deuterated solvents through standing chemical-supplier agreements or cooperative purchasing vehicles rather than through advertised competitive solicitations.
