UNSPSC 39111512: Laboratory task light

Light used in laboratories to clearly focus on certain lab tasks.

UNSPSC 39111512 Laboratory task light is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag solicitations for laboratory lighting equipment and related electrical supplies. The recent opportunities in this code show substantial scope mismatch: a Cook County, Illinois histology and toxicology supplies re-bid, a Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas) IFB for electrical equipment, parts, and repairs, and a Sourcewell cooperative RFP for law enforcement equipment reflect the misclassification common in state and local procurement systems, where broader electrical-equipment and supplies categories often absorb narrower commodity codes. The actual buying activity under this code appears thin; the Cook County and NISD solicitations target general electrical supplies and equipment that may incidentally include task lighting but are not primarily procurement vehicles for laboratory task lights themselves. Issuing bodies posting under this code include county health departments, independent school districts, and cooperative purchasing entities acting on behalf of multiple jurisdictions.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the upper Midwest and Southwest. Cook County, Illinois; Northside Independent School District in Texas; and Sourcewell (a Minnesota-based cooperative serving participating entities across Washington, multiple counties, and entities throughout the United States and Canada) represent the recent recorded activity. The Cook County histology and toxicology supplies re-bid (solicitation 2457-09110 RR) closed July 22, 2026. The NISD IFB for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services (IFB2026098) closed July 1, 2026 and replaces an expiring contract; all incumbent and prospective vendors were required to respond. The Sourcewell RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026) represents a multi-jurisdictional cooperative procurement open to vendors nationwide. The code shows limited recent volume and mixed relevance to laboratory task lighting specifically.
