UNSPSC 12352600: Fluorochemicals

Monomer or organic compounds containing fluorine. Examples include Hydrofluoric Acid (HF), Hexafluoropropylene (HFP), and Trifluoroacetic Acid (TFA)

UNSPSC 12352600 Fluorochemicals is a Class code covering specialized chemical reagents, reference materials, and consumable laboratory supplies for forensic analysis, drug screening, disease surveillance, and water treatment operations procured by state and local agencies. State and local governments buy under this code forensic and drug-testing reagents (DNA sequencing kits, buffer solutions, genetic analyzer cartridges, ELISA kits for controlled-substance detection), laboratory reference standards and controls (pharmaceutical-grade drug standards, Shiga toxin diagnostic testing kits), bulk water treatment chemicals (caustic soda, calcium hypochlorite, aluminum sulfate, sodium permanganate, sodium fluoride), and specialty laboratory consumables (precipitant solutions, assay reagents). Issuing bodies span state departments of public safety, forensic science laboratories, and water utilities; municipal water treatment and public-health laboratories; county sheriff and public-utility departments; and university procurement services. Texas agencies, California, the District of Columbia, and Connecticut municipalities appear among recent solicitors.

Recent opportunities reflect both specialized forensic and public-health procurement and routine utility-operations supply. The Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts issued IFB 304T27175A11 (response due October 20, 2026) for forensic laboratory consumables—DNA analyzers, sequencing reagents, and drug-screening ELISA kits—from specified vendors (Life Technologies/Thermo Fisher Scientific, Promega, Qiagen, Immunalysis/Abbott, ANDE Corporation) for the Texas Department of Public Safety and Parks and Wildlife, with quantities based on four-year usage history, 2-8 degree Celsius cold-chain requirements, and a 1.5% Texas SmartBuy administrative fee. The State of California requested bids for Shiga Toxin QuikChek diagnostic kits under RFB-IS-27200197 (due October 7, 2026) with CBE certification preference. The City of Meriden, Connecticut issued ITB B026-55 (due June 25, 2026) for water treatment chemicals—calcium hypochlorite, caustic soda, aluminum sulfate, sodium permanganate, sodium fluoride—with NSF and AWWA certification, United States manufacturing mandates on select items under Build America Buy America Act, and five-business-day delivery windows. Harris County, Texas solicited Crime Scene Supplies and Related Items (ITB, due June 8, 2026) including DNA collection swabs, evidence tubes, fingerprint supplies, and forensic chemicals. The City of Arlington, Texas issued annual requirements contracts for laboratory supplies and chemicals (due September 17, 2026) serving laboratory services and water treatment divisions.
