UNSPSC 13111218: Polyvinylidene chloride

UNSPSC 13111218 Polyvinylidene chloride is a Commodity code with little recent state and local procurement activity aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span laboratory reagents, sample collection services, and forensic supplies—a mix that suggests either misclassification at posting or incidental use of this material in those workflows. State and local governments do procure laboratory consumables, reagents, and supplies across environmental monitoring, public health surveillance, and forensic operations, but the available records do not show direct solicitation of polyvinylidene chloride film, tubing, or sheeting as a standalone line item or primary deliverable. Instead, the tagged opportunities reflect water-quality monitoring reagents, wastewater surveillance testing platforms, genomic sequencing reagents, synthetic viral controls, forensic evidence collection kits, and trace evidence consumables—none of which center on polyvinylidene chloride as the specified material.

The issuers include state departments of transportation and public health (Texas General Land Office, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, California state procurement, Texas Department of Transportation), county health laboratories (Santa Clara County), and cities (Palm Bay, Florida). Colorado's laboratory services division and California's procurement office appear most active in the recent window, each with multiple reagent and equipment solicitations between February and May 2026. Geographic concentration is visible in Colorado (Denver County, Denver City) and California, with secondary activity in Texas and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Texas General Land Office's water sampling and analysis IFB (IFB 7643-LP, due April 10, 2026), Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's sole-source procurements for Qiagen wastewater surveillance reagents ($3.14 million) and Twist Bioscience synthetic viral controls ($2.3 million), and California's forensic laboratory consumables and DNA evidence collection supplies RFBs (RFB 26200750-1, due April 8, 2026). If your firm supplies polyvinylidene chloride or materials incorporating it for laboratory, environmental, or forensic applications, monitor these issuers' notices for future opportunities that explicitly reference the material or its applications in sample collection, containment, or processing workflows.
