UNSPSC 41103209: Laboratory wash bottles

UNSPSC 41103209 Laboratory wash bottles is a Commodity code that encompasses cleaning and sanitation supplies procured by state and local education and public health agencies, though recent solicitations show the code tagged to broader custodial and janitorial supply contracts rather than laboratory wash bottles specifically. State and local governments soliciting under this code seek comprehensive catalogs of cleaning chemicals, dispensing equipment, janitorial supplies, and related services to support school nutrition programs, custodial operations, and public health facilities. School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with repeated procurements from Pinellas County School District, Cobb County School District, and Dougherty County Board of Education; Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas also appears as a standing cooperative vehicle issuing multiple catalog discount bids for custodial supplies serving member school districts and other public entities across the region. County purchasing offices and municipal agencies issue less frequently under this code, though the City of Bridgeport, Connecticut and Gwinnett County, Georgia have posted recent opportunities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia, with secondary activity in Connecticut and Florida. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut issued an IFB (BNB051266) for Paper & Cleaning Products due June 30, 2026, covering 193 line items of food service disposables, cleaning chemicals, disinfectants, and janitorial paper products for school nutrition sites. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas issued a catalog discount RFP (CUS2628) for custodial supplies due May 26, 2026, with estimated expenditures of $12,638,478 across two years serving multiple member entities. Cobb County School District in Georgia posted an IFB (B26097) for kitchen vent hood cleaning and inspection services due March 23, 2026. Pinellas County School District in Florida issued an ITB (25-JG-072) for custodial supplies with an estimated annual contract value of approximately $900,000 and a contract period running February 25, 2026 through February 24, 2027. The mismatch between the code name (laboratory wash bottles) and the actual solicitations (broad-based custodial and cleaning supply contracts) suggests either classification variance in state procurement systems or code-tagging inconsistency by issuing bodies.
