UNSPSC 41141514: Formate standards

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

UNSPSC 41141514 Formate standards is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure laboratory reference materials, test reagents, and analytical consumables used in water quality, food safety, environmental, and forensic testing operations. The work comprises certified reference standards (drug standards, immunoassay reagents, ion standards), quality control test kits, chromatography consumables (columns, septa, liners), and detector components required for compliance with EPA, FDA, and DEA protocols. Recent solicitations show that state health departments, county forensic laboratories, and public health agencies are the primary buyers, with the Texas Health and Human Services Commission and Texas Department of Public Safety appearing as repeat purchasers across multiple procurements in the current cycle.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in New York and Illinois. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued two recent IFBs—one in September 2026 (HHS0018026) for chromatography columns, septa, and detector components for drinking water analysis with a historical spend range of $50,000 to $75,000, response due October 9, 2026, and another in August 2026 (HHS0017881) for laboratory supplies including VIDAS QC kits and bacterial test systems for food and water safety, with historical spend of $25,000 to $50,000, response due August 26, 2026. The Texas Department of Public Safety posted IFB 405-26R0008445A in July 2026 for Direct ELISA reagent kits (cannabinoids, opiates, cocaine, benzodiazepines) used in substance analysis, response due July 23, 2026. Pinellas County, Florida issued ITQ 26-0305-ITQ in April 2026 for 131 line items of certified drug reference standards for forensic toxicology, with $49,034 in federal funding available through the Paul Coverdell program and SBE price preference. Rockland County, New York solicited proposals in July 2026 (RFBRC2026044) for radon measurement devices and laboratory analysis services, response due August 20, 2026.
