UNSPSC 41141510: Chromate standards

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

UNSPSC 41141510 Chromate standards is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses certified reference materials and diagnostic reagent kits used in forensic drug analysis, toxicology testing, and disease surveillance operations rather than chromate compounds in their traditional industrial sense. State and local forensic laboratories, public health departments, and criminal justice agencies procure these materials to validate analytical instrumentation, screen evidentiary samples, and conduct disease monitoring. The issuing bodies include state forensic laboratories and public health agencies (Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab Division, Florida Department of Law Enforcement, Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county forensic facilities (Pinellas County, Florida), and state environmental health divisions (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation). These agencies procure reference standards, immunoassay reagent kits, and DNA screening kits as part of routine laboratory operations and grant-funded forensic science improvement programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Department of Public Safety posted an IFB for immunalysis reagent kits (Direct ELISA testing kits for substance analysis) due July 23, 2026; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission solicited QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits through an IFB with a January 29, 2026 deadline and an anticipated contract value between $25,050 and $30,000 for Fiscal Year 2025 volumes. Pinellas County, Florida, in partnership with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, issued Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ for 131 line items of certified drug standards with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation required; the procurement was funded through the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program with $72,126.85 in federal funds and a June 1, 2026 delivery deadline. Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation conducted a sole-source procurement for RAMP mosquito-borne disease testing equipment (West Nile Virus and Dengue test kits) through a joint purchase master contract with a May 20, 2026 public hearing deadline. The Pinellas County quote offered preference to Certified Small Business Enterprises, with SBEs submitting within the first five business days receiving priority consideration and a five percent price preference thereafter.
