UNSPSC 41102600: Animal laboratory equipment and accessories

UNSPSC 41102600 Animal laboratory equipment and accessories is a Class code that encompasses laboratory supplies, equipment, and monitoring devices used across teaching, research, and specialized testing environments. State and local governments purchasing under this code buy preserved specimens, micromedia, live materials, chemicals, labware, basic equipment, and specialized research apparatus such as fish monitoring systems and acoustic monitoring devices for aquaculture, wildlife research, and environmental assessment operations. School districts dominate the issuing bodies, supplemented by state universities and research institutions acquiring supplies for teaching laboratories, research programs, and environmental monitoring initiatives.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, Connecticut, Oregon, and Mississippi. The Cobb County School District in Georgia issued IFB B26128 (due June 16, 2026) for science specimens, chemicals, supplies, and equipment across 112 school sites with an estimated annual expenditure of $175,000. Pinellas County School District in Florida solicited Indoor Air Quality Services (ITB 26-CD-039, due November 6, 2026, approximately $100,000 estimated contract value) covering laboratory analysis and reporting services, though the work profile—asbestos and mold testing with in-house microbiological analysis—stretches the nominal code scope toward environmental assessment. The University of Connecticut issued an RFP (DS092426RES, due November 12, 2026) for a primary laboratory supply distributor to serve chemicals, labware, and basic lab equipment across the main campus in Storrs and regional campuses statewide. The University of Southern Mississippi conducted a sole-source procurement (SSP 26-022, objection period closed May 14, 2026) for a Vaki integrated fish monitoring and counting system for aquaculture research at the Thad Cochran Marine Aquaculture Center. An Oregon state agency pursued a sole-source acquisition for Wildlife Acoustics passive monitoring devices (notice-of-intent due July 31, 2026) for wildlife acoustic research applications.
