UNSPSC 41142106: Chloride titrants

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

UNSPSC 41142106 Chloride titrants is a Commodity code that state and local governments are actually procuring as forensic reagents, reference standards, and diagnostic testing kits rather than pure chemistry titrants. The Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Pinellas County (Florida), and Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation have all posted solicitations under this code in the past four months, each requesting laboratory reagents and certified drug or biological analysis standards. The work spans forensic toxicology, drug analysis method validation, DNA screening, and disease vector testing—all applications requiring high-purity reference materials or immunoassay reagents with formal accreditation and chain-of-custody controls. State crime laboratories and public health agencies are the primary buyers, often managing procurements through state health departments or law-enforcement criminal investigation divisions.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Department of Public Safety posted IFB 405-26R0008445A on July 9, 2026, requesting immunalysis reagent kits (Direct ELISA cannabinoid, opioid, and controlled-substance testing kits) with electronic bids due July 23, 2026. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission issued IFB HHS0016902v2 in February 2026 for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits, with bids due January 29, 2026 and historical spend of $25,050 to $30,000 for Fiscal Year 2025. Pinellas County, Florida, released ITQ 26-0305-ITQ in April 2026 for 131 line items of certified drug reference standards (ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited, purity exceeding 97%), funded through the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program with approximately $49,034 designated for equipment and supplies. Illinois established a sole-source joint purchase master contract through its Department of Financial and Professional Regulation for RAMP mosquito testing equipment (West Nile Virus and Dengue test kits) in May 2026. State and local buyers are actively using competitive and sole-source procurement vehicles for these materials, often requiring DEA licensing, certificates of analysis, and formal accreditation compliance.
