UNSPSC 41102703: Light scattering equipment

UNSPSC 41102703 Light scattering equipment, a Commodity code, covers optical and analytical instruments used to measure light scattering properties in laboratory and educational settings. Recent state and local solicitations under this code do not reflect a direct procurement pattern for light scattering equipment itself; the two most recent opportunities—Klein Independent School District's request for Career Technical Education instructional resources and Santa Clara County's request for information on a lab information management system—are tagged to this code but do not represent active purchasing of light scattering instruments. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement, with no concrete examples of jurisdictions soliciting standalone light scattering equipment, reagents, or related consumables.

The geographic spread and issuing-body patterns are not meaningful given the mismatch between code scope and recent opportunities. The source includes only two tagged opportunities: an RFP from Klein Independent School District (Harris County, Texas) with a response deadline of June 5, 2026, focused on broad CTE and Advanced Academics instructional resources and equipment across seventeen program areas, and a Request for Information from the County of Santa Clara, California, posted April 7, 2026 with a response deadline of April 22, 2026, seeking a lab information management system. Neither opportunity explicitly calls for light scattering equipment procurement. Firms pursuing this code should verify opportunity relevance at the solicitation-document level, as the commodity classification may not align with the actual work being bought.
