UNSPSC 41151513: Matching fluid g colorimetric preparation

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

UNSPSC 41151513 Matching fluid g colorimetric preparation is a Commodity code. State and local governments purchase laboratory analytical equipment, software platforms, and specialized testing services under this code — though the recent posting pattern shows wider procurement activity spanning precision instrumentation across higher education, utilities, and environmental agencies. The code appears to function as a catch-all for laboratory and measurement equipment rather than specifically for matching fluids or colorimetric preparations in the strict sense. Issuing bodies include independent school districts and higher education institutions (Valencia College, Jackson State University, Texas State University, Texas A&M University System), municipal utility authorities (City of Ocala, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Lee County Port Authority, Lubbock Power & Light), regional transit authorities and state departments (Colorado State Patrol, Texas Department of State Health Services, Marion County), and county governments (Collier County, Harris County). Repeat activity appears among Florida jurisdictions — Valencia College, Jackson State University, Lee County Port Authority, and the City of Tampa all posted opportunities within the last four months.

Recent solicitations reveal the code tags equipment ranging from optical surface profilometers and high-voltage test modules to spectrophotometers, atmospheric monitoring systems, and software suites for drug discovery research. Representative opportunities include Valencia College's notice of intended sole source for a PGI Optics CORE Optical Surface Profilometer (posted October 19, 2026, response window seven business days); Lee County Port Authority's request for quotation for airfield photometric testing at Southwest Florida International Airport (posted October 14, 2026, due October 29, 2026, RFQ/ITB hybrid notice type); the City of Ocala Electric Utility's RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board system (posted September 28, 2026, due April 30, 2026); and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB for atmospheric monitoring instruments—fixed installations across water and wastewater facilities (posted August 14, 2026, due September 4, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and Colorado; Arizona, Oregon, and other states appear with lower frequency. Sole-source and challenge-period notices dominate the posting mix, particularly for incumbent equipment manufacturers and proprietary software platforms, though competitive RFPs and IFBs are present. Contract values range from under $250,000 (Kissimmee Utility Authority's high-voltage test module) to $65,318 five-year software licenses (Jackson State University) and estimated historical annual ranges of $25,050–$40,000 for equipment maintenance services (Texas DSHS laboratory equipment repair).
