UNSPSC 41141500: Clinical chemistry anion standards

This class includes anion standards used in ion chromatography which stipulate the purity of starting materials.

UNSPSC 41141500 Clinical chemistry anion standards is a Class code covering certified reference materials and reagent kits used in forensic drug analysis, toxicology testing, and laboratory method validation by state and local public health and law enforcement agencies. State and local governments procure these materials to support controlled substance identification, evidentiary sample analysis, immunoassay testing for drugs of abuse, and analytical instrumentation calibration in crime laboratory and public health laboratory settings. The issuing bodies are primarily state law enforcement and health departments (Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Florida Department of Law Enforcement) and county forensic laboratories (Pinellas County, Florida), reflecting the specialized, regulated nature of forensic drug testing and the concentration of these operations within state crime lab systems and county forensic facilities.

Recent activity spans Texas and Florida. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued IFB 405-26R0008445A in July 2026 for Direct ELISA testing kits covering 12 substance categories (cannabinoids, opiates, PCP, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, and others) with response due July 23, 2026. Pinellas County, Florida, procured 131 line items of certified drug reference standards through Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ in April 2026, with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation required and a 12-month contract term; that procurement was funded by the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program at $72,126.85 total, with approximately $49,034.00 allocated to supplies including drug standards. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016902v2 in February 2026 for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits for the state laboratory, with historical spend guidance of $25,050 to $30,000 for similar goods in Fiscal Year 2025. Vendors pursuing this code should expect firm pricing requirements, compliance with federal accreditation standards (ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 17034), DEA licensing where controlled substances are involved, and HUB or SBE subcontracting plan participation in Texas and Florida respectively.
