UNSPSC 41103211: Laboratory wastewater treatment equipment

Process equipment that is designed to dispose the reaction compounds or residues after the use at the laboratory.

UNSPSC 41103211 Laboratory wastewater treatment equipment is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to tag custodial and facility cleaning services, chemical products for food service and school kitchens, and wash rack or wastewater treatment maintenance work. The code shows misalignment between its nominal scope and recent solicitation activity — the abstract name suggests specialized laboratory-scale treatment equipment, but the opportunities posted under it cover janitorial services for municipal parks departments, school nutrition cleaning supplies, custodial product catalogs, and industrial wash rack sump cleaning. Issuing bodies include city procurement departments (Arlington, Bridgeport), county boards of education (Dougherty County, Montgomery County), state transportation agencies (California Department of Transportation), municipal water districts (North Texas Municipal Water District), and regional cooperative purchasing consortia (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). School districts and city parks and recreation departments appear repeatedly.

Recent activity spans Texas (Region 7 Cooperative, North Texas Municipal Water District, Montgomery County), California (Caltrans nine-county region), Connecticut (Bridgeport), Virginia (Arlington), and Georgia (Dougherty County). Representative opportunities include the City of Arlington's RFP for janitorial services across 11 Parks, Recreation, and Culture facilities due October 22, 2026; the North Texas Municipal Water District's sealed bid for a spiral-type clarifier drive unit due July 30, 2026; the City of Bridgeport's IFB for paper and cleaning products for school food services due June 30, 2026, with estimated annual spending; Caltrans' IFB for wash rack sump cleaning services across nine counties with a mandatory 3% DVBE participation requirement and a 5% Small Business preference, bids due June 30, 2026; Montgomery County, Texas's RFP for child nutrition chemical products and services due July 21, 2026; and Dougherty County Board of Education's sealed bid for food safety and sanitation program services covering 24 school nutrition sites due June 17, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid for custodial supplies carries an estimated two-year expenditure of $12,638,478 across multiple member organizations, contract term June 18, 2026 through June 18, 2028.
