UNSPSC 41141523: Organic carbon standards

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

UNSPSC 41141523 Organic carbon standards is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure laboratory reference materials, consumables, and calibration standards used in environmental and forensic analysis—specifically certified organic carbon standards, drug reference standards, radon measurement calibration materials, and related analytical consumables. The work encompasses provision of standards with specified purity and accreditation (ISO/IEC 17025 or equivalent), often paired with laboratory analysis services. Issuing bodies span state health and environmental agencies, state public safety laboratories, county forensic and environmental offices, and special-purpose districts; Texas agencies (Health and Human Services Commission, Department of State Health Services, and Department of Public Safety) dominate the recent opportunity set.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Illinois, and New York. Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission IFB HHS0018026 (posted September 24, 2026, due October 9, 2026) for organic chemistry lab standards and instrument consumables—GC columns, septa, liners, UHPLC columns, detector components—supporting drinking water analysis under the Safe Drinking Water Act, with historical fiscal year 2026 value between $50,000 and $75,000; the Texas Department of Public Safety IFB 405-26R0008445A (posted July 9, 2026, due July 23, 2026) for immunoassay reagent kits and ELISA testing materials for forensic substance analysis; Pinellas County, Florida's Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ (posted April 23, 2026, due April 23, 2026) for 131 line items of certified drug reference standards meeting ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, funded through the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program with approximately $49,034 designated for laboratory supplies; and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's joint purchase master contract for mosquito testing equipment (RAMP System test kits, posted May 4, 2026). Contract terms typically run one year from award with optional extensions at the procuring agency's discretion, require firm fixed pricing, and include SBE or HUB subcontracting plan encouragement where applicable.
