UNSPSC 41142121: Sodium carbonate titrants

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

UNSPSC 41142121 Sodium carbonate titrants (Commodity) encompasses laboratory reagents and reference materials used in forensic and clinical testing, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show a marked mismatch between the nominal commodity name and the work actually being procured. The recent opportunities tracked under this code involve immunoassay reagent kits for substance analysis, certified drug reference standards for forensic laboratory validation, DNA screening kits, mosquito-borne illness testing equipment, and mass spectrometry accessories—none of which center on sodium carbonate titrants as a primary commodity. State and local buying bodies posting under this code include state crime laboratories (Texas Department of Public Safety), forensic laboratories (Pinellas County, Florida), state health departments (Texas Department of State Health Services), state correctional agencies (Texas Department of Criminal Justice), and specialized state procurement entities (Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation). The issuing bodies reflect a pattern of public-safety and laboratory operations rather than a single commodity family, suggesting this code may be used inconsistently or as a catch-all for laboratory chemical and reagent procurement across multiple application domains.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with Texas Department of Public Safety posting an IFB for immunoassay reagent kits (Direct ELISA testing for substance analysis, due July 23, 2026), and Pinellas County, Florida, soliciting certified drug reference standards through Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ (due April 23, 2026, with approximately $49,034.00 in federal funding available for procurement). Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted a competitive IFB (HHS0016902v2) for DNA screening kits with a historical annual value of $25,050 to $30,000 and an initial contract term through August 31, 2026. The Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation established a sole-source master contract through ADAPCO, LLC for mosquito testing equipment and test kits. The code shows little recent activity under its stated commodity definition; the opportunities listed above are plainly unrelated to sodium carbonate titrants, indicating either systematic miscoding in state procurement databases or a code definition that no longer reflects current procurement practice.
