UNSPSC 41151517: Matching fluid k colorimetric preparation

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

UNSPSC 41151517 Matching fluid k colorimetric preparation is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The tagged solicitations span laboratory testing services (phlebotomy and specimen collection), laboratory equipment repair and maintenance, spectrophotometer replacement, insulating oil testing for electric utilities, landscape architectural services, water reclamation system support, electric meter testing equipment, water well construction, servo-hydraulic fatigue testing systems, and lock-in amplifiers — work that falls outside the narrow definition of colorimetric matching fluid preparation. State and local procurement offices have issued ITBs, RFPs, RFQs, and RFIs from county health authorities, state health departments, municipal utilities, transit authorities, universities, and special-purpose districts. The geographic spread includes Texas (state health services, electric utilities, university systems), Florida (municipalities and county transportation), Oregon (county corrections), Connecticut (municipal fire services), and California (county public health).

Because the recent solicitations bear no substantive relation to colorimetric matching fluid preparation, this code shows little relevant procurement activity in the state and local market right now. Representative opportunities tagged under the code include Marion County, Oregon's ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy (due July 24, 2026), Texas Department of State Health Services' IFB for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance at its South Texas Laboratory in Harlingen (due July 6, 2026, with historical annual values of $25,050 to $40,000), and the City of Tampa's RFQ for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer replacement at its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility (due June 12, 2026). Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for annual insulating oil testing laboratory services (due July 22, 2026) and the County of Santa Clara's RFI for a Public Health Lab Information Management System (due April 22, 2026) represent the broader analytical and testing infrastructure procurement, but neither involves the commodity code's specified product line.
