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 limited, episodic state and local activity focused primarily on laboratory equipment repair, maintenance, testing services, and analytical instrumentation rather than the chemical reagent the code nominally describes. Recent solicitations under this code tag equipment service contracts, testing systems procurement, and lab infrastructure support across diverse issuing bodies including county health systems, municipal utilities, transit authorities, and public water districts.

State and local governments buying under this code procure laboratory testing services, including specimen collection, phlebotomy, and courier services; equipment repair and maintenance contracts for specialized analytical hardware; replacement of laboratory instrumentation such as spectrophotometers and meter test boards; and lab information management system replacements. Marion County, Oregon (ITB SO1814-26, due July 24, 2026) is sourcing laboratory testing services and phlebotomist services for Adults in Custody; the Texas Department of State Health Services (IFB HHS0017421, due July 6, 2026) is contracting for preventive maintenance and 24-hour technical support on five pieces of laboratory sterilization and washing equipment at its South Texas Laboratory, with estimated annual value between $25,050 and $40,000. The City of Tampa (RFQ 26-P-00372, due June 12, 2026) sought a Heck DR4900 spectrophotometer replacement at its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility. Lubbock Power & Light (RFP 713126ELD, due July 22, 2026) is contracting for insulating oil testing and laboratory services across approximately 20 substations, with scope including dissolved gas analysis, moisture analysis, and transformer fault interpretation using IEEE and IEC diagnostic methods. The Town of Waterford, Connecticut (RFP26009, due May 5, 2026) solicited construction materials testing firms for Special Inspector services and concrete, steel, and masonry testing during fire station construction. The County of Santa Clara (RFI RFITSSFY260686, due April 22, 2026) requested information on lab information management system replacements. Broward County Transportation Department (TRN2131706B1, due May 5, 2026) procured ChargePoint DC fast charger repair and maintenance under a three-year indefinite-quantity contract with FTA funding and DBE requirements.

Recent opportunities span Florida (Tampa, Broward County, Ocala, Palm Bay), Oregon (Marion County), Texas (DSHS, Lubbock Power & Light, Lamar University, Texas A&M), Connecticut (Waterford), and California (Santa Clara County), with activity concentrated in specialized lab testing, equipment maintenance, and analytical system replacement across municipal utilities, county health departments, and regional transit authorities. The code shows fragmented, low-volume activity driven by specific equipment needs and facility-based testing requirements rather than sustained procurement demand.
