UNSPSC 41000000: Laboratory and Measuring and Observing and Testing Equipment

This segment includes the machines, equipment and tools used in laboratories, as well as measuring, observing and testing equipment

UNSPSC 41000000 Laboratory and Measuring and Observing and Testing Equipment, a Segment code, covers laboratory testing services, analytical instruments, environmental monitoring systems, and specialized diagnostic equipment purchased by state health departments, county public health agencies, municipalities, universities, and specialized districts. State and local buyers under this code procure clinical and environmental laboratory services on contract, purchase laboratory analyzers and diagnostic systems, acquire water quality and air quality monitoring equipment, and source testing supplies and calibration services to support public health operations, drinking water compliance, wastewater treatment oversight, and forensic investigation.

Activity under the code spans state health departments (Connecticut, Rhode Island, Oregon, Missouri, Utah, Texas A&M), county health agencies (Orange County California, Harris County Texas, Santa Clara County, Solano County), municipalities (City of Meriden Connecticut, City of Santa Monica, Town of Greenwich Connecticut, City of Orem Utah, City of Worcester Massachusetts), transit and environmental authorities (Barnstable County Massachusetts, Tampa Bay Water regional authority), and independent school and community colleges. Recent solicitations show strong concentration in the Northeast and West, with Connecticut Department of Administrative Services issuing multiple procurements for clinical laboratory services (26PSX0075, closed July 20, 2026), environmental analytical services (26PSX0116, closed June 26, 2026), and laboratory instruments (26PSX0116, covering diagnostics, reagents, and analytical equipment through 2030); Harris County Texas requesting flow cytometry analyzers for Harris Health (RFP, due August 17, 2026); West Virginia University soliciting LC/HRAM-MS spectrometer systems (RFP 202690000721, due August 18, 2026); Orange County California procuring indoor air quality laboratory analysis services under IFB with ISO/IEC 17025 and AIHA accreditation requirements (due April 3, 2026, now closed); and Rhode Island Department of Health issuing RFQ for biosafety cabinet certification services (due July 27, 2026). Connecticut, California, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Utah, and Texas dominate recent activity. This code shows consistent procurement velocity driven by regulatory compliance (CLIA certification, EPA methods, HIPAA), infrastructure replacement cycles (legacy LIMS systems, aging analyzers), and public health mandates (PFAS testing, opioid monitoring, microbial source tracking). Current activity is steady; opportunity concentration remains high in established environmental and clinical testing services with recurring contract renewals.
