UNSPSC 41142108: Dichromate titrants

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

UNSPSC 41142108 Dichromate titrants is a Commodity code that in practice covers a much broader range of laboratory reagents and reference standards than the code name suggests. State and local governments—primarily forensic crime laboratories, public health departments, and environmental testing agencies—actually procure Direct ELISA testing kits for controlled-substance analysis, certified drug reference standards for method validation and evidentiary sample testing, DNA screening kits for qualitative and multiplex PCR applications, and West Nile Virus and dengue test kits for mosquito vector surveillance. The issuing bodies span state law-enforcement agencies (Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Health and Human Services Commission on behalf of state health laboratories), county forensic laboratories (Pinellas County, Florida), and state environmental or public-health procurement offices (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation). Texas agencies appear as repeat buyers across multiple recent solicitations.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with secondary activity in Illinois. Representative opportunities include the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB 405-26R0008445A (posted July 9, 2026, due July 23, 2026) for 12 line items of Direct ELISA cannabinoid, opiate, and controlled-substance testing kits with delivery to the Crime Lab Division in Austin; Pinellas County's Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ (posted and due April 23, 2026) for 131 line items of certified drug reference standards at 97% purity or better, funded through the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act with approximately $49,034.00 designated for supplies; and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016902v2 (responses due January 29, 2026) for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits with historical annual spend of $25,050 to $30,000. Pinellas County's procurement applies SBE preference for local small businesses. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation established a sole-source joint-purchase master contract (notice of intent posted May 4, 2026, hearing May 20, 2026) for RAMP West Nile Virus and dengue test kits through ADAPCO, LLC to serve state and local health agencies nationwide.
