UNSPSC 41151512: Matching fluid f colorimetric preparation

In this classification, this entry connotes a standardized preparation made of Matching fluid f, used in a colorimetric Clinical laboratory test.

UNSPSC 41151512 Matching fluid for colorimetric preparation is a Commodity code that spans laboratory testing services, diagnostic equipment, and analytical supplies used in clinical, environmental, and utility testing programs. State and local government procurement under this code is sparse and fragmented. Recent opportunities show little direct alignment with the code's nominal scope of colorimetric matching fluids; instead, the issuing bodies and solicitations tagged to this code reflect a broader laboratory services ecosystem — specimen collection and phlebotomy services for county corrections, equipment repair and maintenance for health department laboratory assets, spectrophotometer procurement and replacement, insulating oil analysis for electric utilities, and laboratory information management system replacements. The mix of issuing bodies includes county corrections (Marion County, Oregon), state health agencies (Texas Department of State Health Services), municipal utilities (City of Tampa, Lubbock Power & Light, City of Ocala), counties (Harris County Toll Road Authority, Santa Clara County), and transit authorities (Broward County Transportation Department). No single issuer appears as a dominant or repeat buyer under this code.

Geographic activity clusters in Texas, Florida, and Oregon. Recent solicitations include Marion County, Oregon's ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy due July 24, 2026; the Texas Department of State Health Services' IFB for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance at the South Texas Laboratory in Harlingen due July 6, 2026, with historical annual values ranging from $25,050 to $40,000; the City of Tampa's RFQ for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer replacement due June 12, 2026; and Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for annual insulating oil testing and laboratory services due July 22, 2026, requiring ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and LIMS integration. The code shows limited recent procurement velocity, and opportunities tagged to 41151512 do not consistently reflect colorimetric preparation fluids as the primary commodity being acquired — suggesting either misclassification at posting or a code with minimal routine state and local purchasing activity.
