UNSPSC 12352325: Cobalt nitrate

Cobalt nitrate is the inorganic compound with the formula Co(NO3)2.xH2O. It is cobalt(II)'s salt. The most common form is the hexahydrate Co(NO3)26H2O, which is a red-brown deliquescent salt that is soluble in water and other polar solvents.

UNSPSC 12352325 Cobalt nitrate (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve irrigation system improvements, structural metals procurement, and law enforcement equipment — none of which involve cobalt nitrate or related chemical compounds. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with an incorrect UNSPSC classification; the code does not reflect genuine demand for cobalt nitrate or related chemical products in the state and local market based on recent solicitations.

The geographic jurisdictions posting under this code span Florida (City of DeBary), Texas (City of Fort Worth), and a multi-state cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington State counties and nationwide participating entities), but the mismatch between code and scope suggests these tags are data-entry errors rather than indicators of actual chemical-commodity activity. No representative opportunities for cobalt nitrate or chemical products exist in the recent record to evaluate.
