UNSPSC 41151524: Matching fluid r colorimetric preparation

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

UNSPSC 41151524 Matching fluid r colorimetric preparation is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code do not appear to be buying matching fluids or colorimetric preparation services; the recent opportunities posted under this code span precision scientific and testing equipment, laboratory services, and instrumentation across water utilities, educational institutions, and municipal departments. Valencia College is sole-sourcing an optical surface profilometer from Taylor Hobson to support precision optics instruction; Lee County Port Authority is soliciting airfield photometric testing at Southwest Florida International Airport; Jackson State University is procuring a five-year software license to the Schrodinger Small Molecule Drug Discovery Suite; the City of Ocala Electric Utility issued an RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board; and Kissimmee Utility Authority is requesting bids for a precision high-voltage capacitance and power/dissipation factor measurement module. The code taxonomy and the work actually being bought diverge substantially. Issuers include municipalities (Tampa, Ocala, Kissimmee, Phoenix, Orlando), counties (Lee, Marion, Collier), state agencies (Texas HHSC, Colorado State Patrol), public universities (Jackson State, Texas State, Texas A&M), regional authorities (Lee County Port Authority), and public utilities (Lubbock Power & Light). Repeat buyers include Jackson State University (two Schrodinger sole-source procurements in September and October 2026) and Lee County Port Authority (two airfield photometric testing requests in August and October 2026).

The geographic spread covers Florida (Valencia College, Tampa, Ocala, Kissimmee, Orlando, Lee County, Collier County), Texas (Jackson State University, Texas State University, Texas A&M University, DSHS Harlingen), Colorado (Colorado State Patrol), Oregon (Marion County), Arizona (Phoenix), and other states. Recent solicitations include sole-source notices (Valencia College optics equipment, Jackson State Schrodinger suite, Collier County Siemens instrumentation, Tampa Tekmar analyzer parts), RFPs (Ocala Three-Phase Meter Test Board with response due April 30, 2026; Lubbock Power & Light oil testing lab services with response due July 22, 2026), RFQs (Lee County airfield photometric testing with response due October 29, 2026; Tampa McKay Bay spectrophotometer with response due June 12, 2026), and ITBs (Kissimmee high-voltage test equipment with response due September 22, 2026; Marion County laboratory and phlebotomy services with response due July 24, 2026; Texas A&M National Instruments items with response due August 19, 2026). The code shows active state and local procurement for laboratory instrumentation, utility-grade testing equipment, and scientific software, though the commodity taxonomy label does not reflect the actual scope of work.
