UNSPSC 41151521: Matching fluid o colorimetric preparation

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

UNSPSC 41151521 Matching fluid or colorimetric preparation is a Commodity code that describes laboratory reagents and reference standards used in analytical testing, though the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show limited direct activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The opportunities that do appear under the code encompass laboratory testing services (phlebotomy and specimen collection for Marion County, Oregon's detention health program), laboratory equipment repair and maintenance (Texas Department of State Health Services' work on sterilization units and washers in Harlingen), and equipment procurement for analytical testing systems (the City of Tampa's replacement spectrophotometer at its McKay Bay waste-to-energy facility and Lubbock Power & Light's insulating oil testing laboratory services). Several opportunities listed under the code—including landscape architectural services for Harris County Toll Road Authority's Hardy Downtown Connector, technical support for the City of Orlando's FIAnalyzer-3000 system, ChargePoint DC charger repair for Broward County Transportation, construction materials testing for the Town of Waterford's fire station, and water well drilling for the City of Palm Bay—fall outside the commodity's typical scope and suggest tagging inconsistencies. State and local issuing bodies include county health and detention programs, state health departments, municipal utilities and public works agencies, transit authorities, and special districts. Issuers are scattered across Oregon, Texas, Florida, and Connecticut.

Among the opportunities with closer alignment to laboratory testing and analytical work, Marion County, Oregon posted an ITB (SO1814-26) due July 24, 2026 for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy for adults in custody; the Texas Department of State Health Services issued an IFB (HHS0017421) due July 6, 2026 for annual laboratory equipment repair and maintenance at its South Texas Laboratory in Harlingen, with historical annual costs ranging from $25,050 to $40,000; and Lubbock Power & Light issued an RFP due July 22, 2026 for insulating oil testing and laboratory services across approximately twenty substations, requiring ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and Laboratory Information Management System integration. The City of Tampa's RFQ (26-P-00372) for a replacement Heck DR4900 spectrophotometer closed June 12, 2026. The code shows episodic activity across water, health, utilities, and transportation sectors, with no dominant repeat buyer or geographic concentration apparent from recent postings.
