UNSPSC 41141504: Boron standards

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

UNSPSC 41141504 Boron standards is a Commodity code representing specialized reference materials and laboratory consumables used in state and local testing and analytical operations, though recent solicitations show this code captures a broader range of certified reference materials, test kits, and laboratory standards beyond boron alone. State and local governments buying under this code procure quality control materials for drinking water, food, dairy, and shellfish safety testing; immunoanalysis reagents for drug screening; certified drug reference standards for forensic laboratories; and radon measurement and analysis services. Issuing bodies include state health and environmental agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Public Safety), county health departments (Pinellas County, Rockland County), and specialized state forensic and environmental divisions. The work involves both consumable supply contracts with recurring quarterly or annual replacement needs and specialized analytical services where vendors provide laboratory analysis of client-submitted samples.

Activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with a single recent opportunity in New York. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission has posted two recent IFB solicitations: HHS0018026 (Standards, Consumables and Instrument parts, due October 9, 2026) procures organic chemistry lab supplies for drinking water compliance testing with a fiscal 2026 historical value of $50,000 to $75,000, and HHS0017881 (Lab Supplies for food, water dairy and shellfish testing, due August 26, 2026) procures bioanalytical test kits and quality control materials valued at $25,000 to $50,000 in fiscal 2025. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued IFB 405-26R0008445A for immunoanalysis reagent kits (due July 23, 2026), and Pinellas County, Florida, issued ITQ 26-0305-ITQ for certified drug reference standards (due April 23, 2026) with approximately $49,034 in federal Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act funding allocated to supplies procurement. Rockland County, New York, solicited radon testing device supply and laboratory analysis services (RFBRC2026044, due August 20, 2026). Illinois established a joint purchase master contract for mosquito testing equipment as a sole source to ADAPCO, LLC in May 2026.
