UNSPSC 41103210: Laboratory ultraviolet UV sterilizers

UNSPSC 41103210 Laboratory ultraviolet UV sterilizers, a Commodity code, covers replacement UV lamp assemblies, quartz sleeves, and related components that state and local governments procure for water and wastewater treatment operations. Recent solicitations show state and local bodies buying UV sterilization equipment and parts to maintain drinking water systems, laboratory testing infrastructure, and auxiliary treatment systems; the scope extends beyond laboratory environments to field-deployed treatment plants and municipal water facilities. The mix of issuing bodies includes state agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department), counties (Hillsborough County, Collier County, Gwinnett County, DeKalb County, Dorchester County), municipalities (City of Santa Fe, City of Tucson, City of Calhoun, City of Flowery Branch, City of Holly Hill, City of Cumming, City of LaGrange), and special districts (school boards, county water authorities). Repeat activity centers in Florida and Georgia, with notable recent procurements in Texas, New Mexico, and South Carolina. Water treatment plant upgrades and maintenance dominate the actual work being solicited—not laboratory-scale sterilizers, but industrial UV components integrated into potable and reclaimed water systems.

Recent opportunities include the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's IFB for UV sterilizer components (95-Watt UV lamps, quartz sleeves, plug assemblies compatible with Aqualogic Corona ALSV models, due July 21, 2026), Hillsborough County's sole-source maintenance contract for deionized water systems including UV lamps and quartz sleeves (due July 14, 2026, estimated value $76,530), the City of Santa Fe's ITB for Trojan Technologies UV3000 parts including UV bulbs and ballast assemblies (due February 12, 2026), and Gwinnett County's sealed bid for particle counters at filter plants (due May 8, 2026). Geographic spread spans the Southeast (Florida, Georgia), Southwest (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico), and Midwest (South Carolina), with Florida showing the highest concentration of recent municipal water authority activity. Most solicitations are structured as IFBs or ITBs with response windows of two to four weeks, and many reference OEM specifications (Trojan, Aqualogic, Chemtrac) indicating vendor lock-in at the equipment level rather than commodity-level competition.
