UNSPSC 41141524: Perchlorate standards

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

UNSPSC 41141524 Perchlorate standards (Commodity) does not describe the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local procurement. The five most recent opportunities tagged to this code span immunoassay reagent kits for drug screening, mosquito-borne virus testing equipment, certified drug reference standards for forensic analysis, mass spectrometry equipment for chemical identification, and DNA screening kits for laboratory analysis. None of these solicitations involves perchlorate standards as a distinct product line or testing requirement. The code appears to function as a catch-all taxonomy entry for laboratory reference materials and analytical testing supplies that fall outside more narrowly defined commodity codes, covering everything from controlled-substance testing reagents to environmental diagnostics equipment to molecular biology consumables.

Recent opportunities originate from Texas agencies (Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Lab, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission) and Florida and Illinois public health and law enforcement operations. The Texas Department of Public Safety issued an IFB (405-26R0008445A, response due July 23, 2026) for Direct ELISA testing kits spanning cannabinoids, opiates, and other controlled substances; Pinellas County, Florida, in partnership with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, issued an Invitation to Quote (26-0305-ITQ, due April 23, 2026) for 131 line items of certified drug reference standards with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission sought competitive bids (IFB HHS0016902v2, due January 29, 2026) for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits valued at approximately $25,000 to $30,000 in fiscal year 2025. Issuing bodies include state crime labs, forensic laboratories, and health departments, with federal funding (Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program) supporting some procurements. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Illinois. The code shows no substantive connection to perchlorate standards or related environmental testing compounds.
