UNSPSC 41103200: Laboratory washing and cleaning equipment

UNSPSC 41103200 Laboratory washing and cleaning equipment, a Class code, encompasses janitorial and specialized cleaning services and supplies for public facilities, including general-purpose custodial products, laboratory hazmat remediation, and food-service sanitation programs. State and local governments buy under this code primarily through municipalities, county school districts, state transportation departments, and cooperative purchasing consortiums. The actual work ranges from routine facility cleaning contracts for parks and recreation departments to highly specialized hazardous laboratory decontamination requiring multiple state licenses and OSHA certifications, and from paper-and-chemical supplies for school nutrition programs to comprehensive food-safety and sanitation training with on-site monitoring. Issuing bodies include city departments of public purchases, county boards of education and their nutrition programs, state transportation agencies, and regional purchasing cooperatives that aggregate demand across multiple member entities.
