UNSPSC 41141525: Phenol standards

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

UNSPSC 41141525 Phenol standards is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses certified reference materials and laboratory reagents used in forensic drug analysis, toxicology screening, and analytical method validation by state and local criminal justice and public health laboratories. State and local governments procure these materials—including drug standards, immunoassay reagents, and calibration compounds—to support controlled-substance testing, DNA analysis, and evidentiary sample examination in forensic laboratories and law enforcement crime labs. The issuing bodies are predominantly state departments of public safety, health and human services, and criminal justice agencies, often purchasing in partnership with county forensic laboratories or state health departments serving as pass-through entities for federal grant funding.

Recent activity shows concentrated procurement in Texas and Florida. The Texas Department of Public Safety posted IFB 405-26R0008445A on July 9, 2026 (due July 23, 2026) soliciting Direct ELISA testing kits and phosphate-buffered saline solution for substance analysis across 12 line items; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016902v2 on February 10, 2026 seeking QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits with a bid deadline of January 29, 2026 and historical annual spending between $25,050 and $30,000. Pinellas County, Florida, in partnership with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, posted Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ on April 23, 2026 for 131 line items of certified drug reference standards meeting ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation, funded through the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program with approximately $49,034 designated for supplies and equipment procurement; that solicitation offered Certified Small Business Enterprise preference. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation also appears in recent records with a sole-source notice of intent to award for mosquito testing equipment, though that procurement is tangential to the code's core forensic and toxicology application.
