UNSPSC 41142111: Hydrochloric acid titrants

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

UNSPSC 41142111 Hydrochloric acid titrants is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show little alignment with its nominal scope—the solicitations instead cover forensic drug-analysis reagents, immunoassay testing kits, DNA screening kits, mosquito-borne disease detection equipment, and laboratory mass spectrometers. The one exception, the Texas Department of Public Safety's immunalysis reagent procurement (IFB 405-26R0008445A), involves Direct ELISA testing kits for substance analysis rather than titrants per se, though reagent chemistry connects loosely to the code name. The code sees activity across state departments, county forensic laboratories, and health agencies, with no repeat issuing bodies across the recent opportunities. The geographic spread spans Texas (Department of Public Safety, Department of Criminal Justice, Health and Human Services Commission), Florida (Pinellas County in partnership with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement), and Illinois (Department of Financial and Professional Regulation). This code appears misapplied to the actual procurements—forensic and clinical laboratory reagents and specialized analytical equipment do not substantively match hydrochloric acid titrants.

Representative recent opportunities include the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB 405-26R0008445A (posted July 9, 2026, due July 23, 2026) for Direct ELISA substance-analysis kits with 12 line items ranging from 3 to 30 units per item, and Pinellas County's Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ (posted and due April 23, 2026) for 131 line items of certified drug-reference standards with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation, funded by the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Act Program at $72,126.85 total ($49,034.00 allocated to equipment and supplies). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission conducted a competitive IFB (IHB0016902v2, due January 29, 2026) for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits for the Department of State Health Services laboratory, with historical spend guidance between $25,050.00 and $30,000.00 for fiscal year 2025. The wide range of equipment and reagent types across these opportunities suggests this code is a miscategorization bucket rather than a focused procurement category.
