UNSPSC 41101500: Laboratory blending and dispersing and homogenizing equipment and supplies

UNSPSC 41101500 Laboratory blending and dispersing and homogenizing equipment and supplies is a Class code under which state and local governments procure laboratory consumables, reagents, testing supplies, and related equipment—though the recent posting mix shows that the code is being applied inconsistently to capture a broader range of laboratory-adjacent work, including equipment repairs, relocation services, and specialized parts. The issuing bodies span municipal water districts, state environmental and agricultural departments, county utilities, and specialized forensic laboratories, reflecting the code's use across water treatment, public health, environmental analysis, and investigative functions.

Recent activity includes West Basin Municipal Water District's on-call RFP for pump and motor repairs, rebuilds, and replacement services across eight recycled water facilities in Los Angeles County (proposals due October 1, 2026, with a $1,000,000 not-to-exceed over two years); North Texas Municipal Water District's sealed-bid procurement for IDEXX laboratory supplies (bids due October 30, 2026); the State of Missouri Division of Purchasing's RFP for laboratory relocation services supporting the Department of Natural Resources, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and Missouri Department of Agriculture (proposals due August 11, 2026); Pinellas County Utilities' ITQ for Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories serving operations in Pinellas County and Clewiston City, Florida (due June 30, 2026); Cook County, Illinois' sealed-bid request for histology and toxicology supplies (due July 22, 2026); and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services' single-source notice for laboratory testing supplies from Veterinary Medical Research & Development, Inc. (challenge period closing June 30, 2026). Recent opportunities are concentrated in Texas, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, and California, with procurement activity spanning consumables, specialized repairs, and facility-scale relocations.
