UNSPSC 41101702: Pestle or mortars

UNSPSC 41101702 Pestle or mortars is a Commodity code that shows no recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity tagged under this code—the City of Palm Bay, Florida's Invitation to Bid 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services—is entirely unrelated to pestles or mortars. That solicitation calls for comprehensive analytical testing across water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment programs, with 188 line items spanning water quality analysis, wastewater characterization, and courier services. The mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the actual work being procured suggests either a coding error in the source or that this code does not reflect genuine state and local buying activity in this category.

The City of Palm Bay ITB 19-ITB-26, posted April 13, 2026, with a March 13, 2026 response deadline, is the only recent opportunity in the available record. Three bids were submitted—Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc. at $80,872.00, Flowers Chemical Laboratories, Inc. at $91,775.40, and Pace Analytical Services, LLC at $107,946.10—with unit prices for individual analyses ranging from $0 for field measurements to $425 for specialized tests such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia analysis. The contract term is twelve months with four optional renewal periods. Historical spending by Palm Bay on these laboratory services totaled $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025. Absent relevant recent opportunities under this code's stated scope, there is insufficient signal to characterize the issuing-body mix, geographic spread, or current market activity for pestles or mortars in state and local procurement.
