UNSPSC 41142124: Zinc titrants

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

UNSPSC 41142124 Zinc titrants (Commodity) shows limited recent activity aligned to its nominal scope; the recent solicitations tagged to this code represent forensic laboratory reagents, reference materials, and analytical equipment rather than zinc-based titration chemistry. The Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Pinellas County Florida, and Texas Department of Criminal Justice have posted opportunities involving immunoassay reagent kits for drug screening, certified drug reference standards, DNA screening kits, and mass spectrometry equipment for chemical identification—none of which are zinc titrants in the traditional chemical or pharmaceutical titration sense. State and local forensic laboratories, crime labs, and health departments are the primary issuing bodies driving activity under this code designation, though the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being procured suggests either miscoding in the jurisdictions' systems or a broader interpretation of titrants to include laboratory reagents and standards used in analytical validation.

The recent opportunities span Texas, Florida, and Illinois, with Texas appearing most active. Representative solicitations include the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB 405-26R0008445A (due July 23, 2026) for Direct ELISA testing kits and phosphate-buffered saline for substance analysis across 12 drug categories; the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB HHS0016902v2 for QIAxcel and QIAamp DNA screening kits (responses due January 29, 2026, with historical spend of $25,050 to $30,000 in Fiscal Year 2025); Pinellas County, Florida's Invitation to Quote 26-0305-ITQ (posted April 23, 2026) for 131 line items of certified drug reference standards with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, funded through $72,126.85 in federal Paul Coverdell forensic improvement grants; and the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation's joint purchase master contract notice for RAMP mosquito testing equipment and test kits (posted May 4, 2026). Pinellas County applies a five-percent price preference for certified small business enterprises responding within the first five business days.
