UNSPSC 41106305: Nucleotides

UNSPSC 41106305 Nucleotides is a Commodity code that encompasses chemical reagents and laboratory or industrial processing inputs procured by state and local governments. However, the recent solicitation activity under this code does not reflect nucleotides procurement; instead, the City of Phoenix Water Services Department posted an IFB for hydrochloric and citric acid solutions in bulk containers for water treatment operations. This mismatch signals that the code's recent activity does not align with its nominal scope — the sourcing tracked here centers on industrial acids for municipal water systems rather than nucleotide-based products or services. The solicitation requires bidders to supply 31.45% hydrochloric acid in 330-gallon totes, 30% hydrochloric acid in 55-gallon drums and 1-gallon containers, and 50% citric acid in 330-gallon totes under a five-year contract framework. Compliance documentation includes Safety Data Sheets, NSF certification, third-party laboratory quality analysis, and adherence to OSHA hazardous materials handling protocols.

The City of Phoenix is the primary recent issuing body under this code. The opportunity opened September 24, 2026, with a response deadline of October 16, 2025, and includes a non-mandatory pre-offer conference scheduled for October 7, 2025, at 10:00 am via Webex. The City has embedded Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and small business participation requirements mandated by the United States Department of Transportation, requiring monthly tracking and reporting of DBE and small business participation through the City's Certification and Compliance System, along with documented good faith efforts to identify and engage certified DBE suppliers. Unit pricing is required across container sizes ranging from 20 to 50 gallons, with the City reserving the right to adjust purchase volumes and modify pricing after the first contract year. No other recent state or local opportunities under this code appear in the source material.
