UNSPSC 41151503: Cupric sulfate colorimetric preparation

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

UNSPSC 41151503 Cupric sulfate colorimetric preparation is a Commodity code that nominally describes chemical reagents used in laboratory analysis, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code show little activity aligned with that scope. The nine opportunities posted between February and July 2026 span laboratory testing services, equipment repair and maintenance, spectrophotometer procurement, oil analysis, landscape design, water treatment plant construction, electrical testing equipment, and lock-in amplifiers — none of which involve cupric sulfate or colorimetric preparation products. The mismatch suggests either broad misclassification by issuing bodies or a code designation applied to laboratory-related procurements without regard to specific commodity alignment. State and local issuers in the block include Marion County (Oregon), Texas Department of State Health Services, City of Tampa, Lubbock Power & Light, Harris County Toll Road Authority, City of Orlando, Broward County Transportation Department, Town of Waterford (Connecticut), County of Santa Clara, City of Ocala, City of Palm Bay, Lamar University, and Texas A&M University System — a mix spanning counties, cities, transit and utility authorities, universities, and special districts across multiple states with no concentration in any single jurisdiction.

The recent opportunities show laboratory-related procurement activity across Oregon, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut. Marion County, Oregon sought laboratory testing and phlebotomy services for adults in custody (ITB, due July 24, 2026). Texas Department of State Health Services procured annual repair and maintenance for laboratory sterilization and washing equipment at its South Texas Laboratory in Harlingen (IFB HHS0017421, due July 6, 2026; historical annual value $25,050 to $40,000). Lubbock Power & Light requested proposals for insulating oil testing laboratory services across approximately 20 substations (RFP, due July 22, 2026). County of Santa Clara issued an RFI for a public health lab information management system replacement (due April 22, 2026). These represent the closest alignment to laboratory operations, but none involve cupric sulfate or colorimetric reagent procurement. The code shows no relevant recent activity for a business pursuing chemistry or laboratory supply contracts.
