Sed unknown command

Hi everyone, I am trying to replace a string that contains a space using sed. A typical input file is:

Code:

CATEGORY=1 1:1.0
CATEGORY=2 13:1.0
CATEGORY=3 1:99.0
CATEGORY=8 14:1.0
CATEGORY=11 1:1.0

I want to use a string (as it can change) to make replacements using

Code:

toReplace='s/CATEGORY=11 /+1 /g'
sed -e $toReplace $outputFile > $outputFile.tmp

I get a command unknown error from sed. Can anyone help please?
