UNSPSC 41141501: Acetate standards

In this classification, this entry connotes a standardized formulation of Acetate used to conduct Anion tests.

UNSPSC 41141501 Acetate standards is a Commodity code covering certified reference materials and laboratory standards used in analytical testing and quality control, specifically acetate-based standards for chromatography, spectrometry, and immunoassay applications in state and local health, environmental, and forensic laboratories. Recent solicitations show state and local governments procuring these standards as part of broader consumables packages for drinking water analysis, food and shellfish testing, forensic drug analysis, and public health surveillance work. Issuing bodies are predominantly state health and environmental agencies and county forensic laboratories, with repeat buyers including the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and Department of State Health Services (DSHS), which solicited multiple times in the past two months for lab standards and consumables supporting Safe Drinking Water Act compliance and food safety testing. The work involves supplying certified reference materials with required accreditation documentation (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 17034:2016 purity standards in recent instances) and managing delivery to specified laboratory loading docks on firm, fixed-price contracts with one-year initial terms and optional extensions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with activity also visible in New York and Illinois. The Texas HHSC posted IFB HHS0018026 on September 24, 2026, requesting standards, consumables, and instrument parts (GC and UHPLC columns, septa, liners, ion source assemblies) for the Organic Chemistry Group's drinking water analysis, with responses due October 9, 2026 and historical fiscal year 2026 spend between $50,000 and $75,000; the same agency posted IFB HHS0017881 on August 19, 2026, for lab supplies and QC materials for food, water, dairy, and shellfish testing, due August 26, 2026, with prior-year spend of $25,000 to $50,000. Pinellas County, Florida, issued Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ on April 23, 2026, for 131 line items of certified drug standards (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 17034:2016 accredited, minimum 97% purity) for forensic toxicology and seized drug analysis, with $49,034 designated for supplies procurement from a $72,126.85 Paul Coverdell grant. Both Texas solicitations encourage but do not require HUB Subcontracting Plans, while Pinellas County offers SBE preference with priority consideration for submissions within the first five business days.
