UNSPSC 41101706: Laboratory disintegrators

UNSPSC 41101706 Laboratory disintegrators (Commodity) covers laboratory analytical testing services for municipal water, wastewater, and industrial pretreatment programs, though the recent opportunities record shows the code being applied to comprehensive testing contracts rather than to disintegrator equipment procurement. State and local governments procure these services primarily through cities and municipalities managing water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The work involves analytical testing across water treatment facilities, wastewater treatment plants, groundwater monitoring wells, and industrial pretreatment programs, with contractors furnishing all labor, equipment, supplies, and consumables to perform analyses at regulatory detection limits. Certification requirements are stringent: bidders must hold Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Certification Program credentials, maintain NELAP accreditation, demonstrate a minimum of five years' experience serving municipal utilities, and perform 75 percent of analytical work in-house at a primary laboratory location.

The code shows activity centered in Florida, with the most recent documented opportunity being the City of Palm Bay's Invitation to Bid 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services, due March 17, 2026. The Palm Bay solicitation encompassed 188 line items spanning water testing, wastewater testing, industrial pretreatment testing, and courier services, with historical annual spending of $66,360 (2024) and $95,440 (2025). Three bidders competed: Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc. ($80,872.00), Flowers Chemical Laboratories, Inc. ($91,775.40), and Pace Analytical Services, LLC ($107,946.10). The contract structure offered a twelve-month initial term with four optional twelve-month renewal periods. Unit pricing ranged from $0 for calculated field measurements to $425 for specialized analyses such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia testing, with water testing running $5–$220 per analysis and wastewater testing $5–$320 per analysis depending on service type and vendor.
