UNSPSC 41141521: Nitrite standards

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

UNSPSC 41141521 Nitrite standards is a Commodity code covering laboratory reference standards, reagents, and test materials used by state and local health, environmental, and law enforcement agencies for analytical testing and quality control. State and local governments procure this code for forensic drug analysis, drinking water compliance testing, food and water safety verification, and disease surveillance — spanning certified reference materials with documented purity and accreditation, immunoassay reagent kits, and specialized test consumables. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Public Safety, Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, Florida Department of Law Enforcement), county governments (Rockland County, New York; Pinellas County, Florida), and special-purpose public health laboratories. Texas agencies appear as repeat buyers, with HHSC sourcing both drinking water standards and food/dairy testing supplies, and DSHS as an authorized user on both contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with additional procurement in New York and Illinois.
