UNSPSC 41151502: Cobaltous chloride colorimetric preparation

In this classification, this entry connotes a standardized preparation made of Cobaltous chloride, used in a colorimetric Clinical laboratory test.

UNSPSC 41151502 Cobaltous chloride colorimetric preparation is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent state and local procurement activity relevant to its nominal chemical reagent scope. The single posted opportunity tagged to this code—Valencia College's sole-source notice for a PGI Optics CORE Optical Surface Profilometer (part number M112-215821) to be supplied by Taylor Hobson (Ametek), posted October 19, 2026, with a seven business day challenge period—involves precision optical testing equipment, not cobaltous chloride colorimetric preparation. The mismatch between the code's chemical reagent definition and the equipment procurement indicates either a coding error in the state procurement system or a rare application outside the code's typical scope.

The remaining opportunities in the dataset span atmospheric monitoring instruments, laboratory testing services, spectrophotometers, brake testers, transformer oil analysis, electrical equipment calibration modules, meter test boards, photometric systems, and drug discovery software—none of which map to cobaltous chloride preparation. No state department, county, city, school district, or transit authority in the recent posting record is soliciting this specific chemical reagent. Activity is effectively absent at the Commodity level under this code, making it unsuitable for pursuit based on current market signals.
