UNSPSC 41142105: Ceric titrants

In this classification, this entry connotes a titrant of Ceric used as a reagent in clinical chemistry testing.

UNSPSC 41142105 Ceric titrants, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The five opportunities posted since February 2026 involve immunoanalysis reagent kits for drug screening (Texas Department of Public Safety), mosquito-borne disease testing equipment and test kits (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation), certified reference materials and drug standards for forensic analysis (Pinellas County, Florida, and Florida Department of Law Enforcement), DNA screening kits for laboratory analysis (Texas Health and Human Services Commission on behalf of the Department of State Health Services), and a mass spectrometer for chemical identification (Texas Department of Criminal Justice). None of these solicitations describe ceric titrants—a volumetric analysis standard used in titration procedures—or related analytical chemistry reagents. The tagged opportunities represent forensic laboratory reagents, diagnostic test kits, reference standards, and analytical instrumentation instead.

The geographic activity centers on Texas and Florida, with one multi-state joint purchase vehicle in Illinois. Issuing bodies include state forensic and health departments, county forensic laboratories, and criminal justice agencies. The Texas Department of Public Safety posted IFB 405-26R0008445A (closed July 23, 2026) for direct ELISA testing kits for substance analysis with 12 line items and estimated quantities of 3 to 30 units per item; Pinellas County issued ITQ 26-0305-ITQ for certified reference materials covering 131 line items of drug standards with delivery by June 1, 2026 and approximately $49,034 in federal funding allocated; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016902v2 for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits with a historical value of $25,050 to $30,000 in FY2025. The code shows substantial recent activity, but the opportunities do not reflect the nominal UNSPSC category definition. Verify code assignment before pursuing.
