UNSPSC 13111217: Ethylene vinyl alcohol film

UNSPSC 13111217 Ethylene vinyl alcohol film is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses laboratory consumables, reagents, and analytical supplies purchased by state and local health, environmental, and transportation agencies for water quality testing, disease surveillance, and materials analysis. The code captures procurement of specialized laboratory products including analytical consumables, detector components, chemical reagents, synthetic assay controls, and equipment components used in compliance testing and diagnostic work. Issuing bodies span state health departments, environmental protection agencies, transportation departments, and municipal utilities—predominantly driven by regulatory mandates for drinking water safety, wastewater monitoring, and epidemiological surveillance. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment appears as a repeat buyer across multiple sole-source procurements for specialized reagents and instruments supporting wastewater and genomic surveillance programs; Texas agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, General Land Office, Department of Transportation, and City of Arlington) also show consistent activity in laboratory supplies and water quality testing.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Texas, Colorado, California, Mississippi, and South Dakota. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0018026 on September 24, 2026 (due October 9, 2026) for standards, consumables, and instrument parts for drinking water analysis, with historical spend between $50,000 and $75,000 annually. The City of Arlington, Texas posted solicitation 270018 on August 19, 2026 (due September 17, 2026) for an annual requirements contract supplying laboratory supplies and chemicals to laboratory services and water treatment plants. The Texas General Land Office issued IFB 7643-LP for water sample collection and analysis services under the Texas Beach Watch Program, requiring field sampling and EPA-approved laboratory analysis across multiple counties. Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment conducted multiple sole-source procurements in May 2026 for Qiagen wastewater surveillance reagents and service (estimated $3.14 million), Standard BioTools reagents and instruments ($2.3 million equipment plus $1 million reagents), Ceres Nanosciences reagents ($3.5 million modified estimate), and Twist Bioscience synthetic viral assay controls ($2.3 million over four years). The State of California solicited brand-name Agilent vacuum manifolds and trap assemblies under RFB 26200889 (posted April 23, 2026, due May 11, 2026), and Mississippi issued a sole-source notice for 200 LeadSmart3 Standard Kits in August 2026.
