UNSPSC 41102700: Crystallography equipment

UNSPSC 41102700 Crystallography equipment is a Class code under which state and local governments procure laboratory analytical instruments, hazardous chemical supplies, and related relocation and information-management services. Recent opportunities show a split between discrete equipment and chemical supply contracts on one hand and broader laboratory infrastructure and logistics services on the other. The Missouri Division of Purchasing issued a laboratory relocation RFP covering the movement and installation of analytical equipment including gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, ICP-MS systems, HPLC instruments, thermal cyclers, genetic analyzers, and supporting infrastructure across three state agencies—the Department of Natural Resources, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and Department of Agriculture—with proposals due August 11, 2026. Pasco County, Florida issued an indefinite-quantity RFQ for large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis, with proposals due June 26, 2026. Issuing bodies across these opportunities include state purchasing divisions, county government procurement offices, and special-purpose districts, though the recent sample is too sparse to identify standout repeat buyers under this code specifically.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the South and Southeast, with recent solicitations posted in Missouri, Florida, Texas, and California. The Missouri laboratory relocation contract represents the largest and most complex scope, requiring contractors to demonstrate five years of professional experience moving and recalibrating analytical equipment, one year of hazmat transportation credentials, and a staffing team including project managers and hazmat-trained movers, with a contract period running through April 30, 2027 and two one-year renewal options available. The Pasco County indefinite-quantity chemical-supply contract, by contrast, involves simpler operational scope but places the vendor on standby for recurring purchases. Neither opportunity specifies an estimated contract value in the source material. The Klein ISD career technical education RFP and the County of Santa Clara public health lab information management system RFI, both posted in spring 2026, appear tangential to crystallography equipment procurement and likely reflect misclassification in the underlying state and local database rather than substantive activity under this code.
