UNSPSC 41151523: Matching fluid q colorimetric preparation

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

UNSPSC 41151523 Matching fluid q colorimetric preparation, Commodity code, shows limited direct relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The source lists fourteen opportunities tagged across laboratory and testing services, but only one—the City of Orlando's sole-source Notice of Intent for technical support and service of a FIAnalyzer-3000 System (Solicitation S26-0429, response deadline May 11, 2026)—plausibly involves a colorimetric analyzer or matching fluid. The remaining opportunities cover laboratory equipment repair and maintenance (Texas DSHS, Broward County transit chargers), general lab testing and phlebotomy services (Marion County, Oregon), insulating oil testing (Lubbock Power & Light), construction materials testing (Town of Waterford, Connecticut), water well drilling (City of Palm Bay), and unrelated equipment such as three-phase meter test boards, spectrophotometers, and servo-hydraulic fatigue testing systems. The mismatch suggests either inconsistent code tagging in the source or that colorimetric matching fluids represent a minor consumable within broader laboratory procurement categories rather than a standalone solicitation driver.

Issuing bodies across the opportunities span state health departments (Texas DSHS), county governments (Marion County Oregon, Broward County Florida, Santa Clara County California), municipalities (City of Tampa, City of Ocala, City of Orlando, City of Palm Bay, Town of Waterford Connecticut), transit authorities (Broward County Transportation, Lubbock Power & Light), and academic institutions (Texas A&M System, Lamar University). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Orlando, Tampa, Palm Bay, Broward County), Texas (DSHS, Lubbock, Texas A&M), and the Pacific Northwest (Marion County Oregon), with scattered activity in California, Connecticut, and New York. No recent opportunities explicitly solicit matching fluid or colorimetric preparations as primary commodities. The code warrants watch status rather than active pursuit until state and local procurement records show direct demand for colorimetric reagents or matching fluid products as standalone line items.
