UNSPSC 41103000: Laboratory cooling equipment

UNSPSC 41103000 Laboratory cooling equipment, a Class code, does not map to the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code. The accessible procurement records show three histology services solicitations—tissue embedding, cutting, staining, and analysis for forensic and laboratory use—and one California procurement with technical specifications and CBE certification requirements that were not fully disclosed. None of these opportunities involve laboratory cooling equipment or refrigeration systems. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the histology-focused opportunities suggests either a tagging error in the procurement system or a shift in how the jurisdiction is classifying laboratory-related services.

Issuing bodies include the State of California (RFB posted May 19, 2026, due June 4, 2026), the State of Georgia through the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (two eRFQs posted April 29 and May 12, 2026, with three-to-nine-day response windows), and Brevard County Purchasing Services on behalf of the Medical Examiner's Office in Florida (RFQ posted April 6, 2026, due April 7, 2026). The Brevard County RFQ specifies detailed technical requirements including tissue processing, staining protocols, turnaround times, Florida state certification, College of American Pathologists accreditation, and professional liability insurance ranging from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000 depending on coverage type, with a five-year contract term. Geographic activity spans California, Georgia, and Florida. No set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise preferences are noted across the opportunities, except for California's CBE certification requirement.
