UNSPSC 39112601: Alcohol lamp

UNSPSC 39112601 Alcohol lamp is a Commodity code that sees minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The five most recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code involve electrical equipment bundles (Northside Independent School District IFB for electrical parts and supplies, Pinellas County School District IFB for electrical supplies across 27 product categories), specialized LED lighting and components (Illinois Department of Corrections ITB for Lithonia LED perimeter lighting), podcast and office automation equipment (City of Philadelphia RFQ for CCOM podcast equipment), law enforcement equipment (Sourcewell RFP 061626 on behalf of multiple Washington counties and participating entities), and video surveillance and access control maintenance (City of Charlotte RFP for camera and access control system maintenance at transit facilities). None of these solicitations reference alcohol lamps or spirit lamps in the classical laboratory sense; the code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state and local procurement systems rather than an active commodity category for actual alcohol lamp procurement.

The issuing bodies span school districts (Northside Independent School District in Texas, Pinellas County School District in Florida), state agencies (Illinois Department of Corrections), cities (City of Philadelphia, City of Charlotte), cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell representing multiple counties across Washington and other states), and transit authorities (Charlotte Area Transit System). Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Washington, and North Carolina, with national reach through the Sourcewell cooperative vehicle. No recent opportunity specifically solicits alcohol lamps; the code assignment appears disconnected from actual procurement needs, signaling low relevance for vendors in laboratory glassware, scientific equipment, or heating apparatus.
