UNSPSC 41141524: Perchlorate standards

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

UNSPSC 41141524 Perchlorate standards is a Commodity code covering certified reference materials and laboratory standards used by state and local testing laboratories for drinking-water quality analysis, food and dairy safety, forensic drug analysis, and environmental health monitoring. State and local buyers under this code procure chemical standards with documented purity and traceability, consumable test kits compatible with analytical instruments, and related laboratory supplies that support compliance with the Safe Drinking Water Act, foodborne-pathogen detection protocols, and forensic analysis standards. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of health and environmental services, county forensic laboratories, and state law enforcement agencies. Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) and the Department of State Health Services (DSHS) appear as repeat buyers, jointly sourcing drinking-water analysis standards, food-safety test kits, and consumable instrument parts through multiple concurrent solicitations.
