UNSPSC 41103213: Laboratory surface and glassware decontaminant

Decontamination agent used for labware and laboratory surfaces to remove biological, chemical and nucleic acid contamination

UNSPSC 41103213 Laboratory surface and glassware decontaminant is a Commodity code capturing cleaning chemicals and sanitation supplies that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance, food service operations, and school nutrition programs. The actual buying pattern diverges significantly from the code's nominal scope: solicitations under this code reflect demand for broad custodial and janitorial product suites—all-purpose cleaners, concentrated detergents, sanitizers, disinfectants, degreasers, hand soaps, and dispensing equipment—rather than laboratory-specific decontaminants. State and local issuers include city procurement offices (Arlington, Bridgeport), county boards of education (Dougherty County, Montgomery County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). School districts and their nutrition programs emerge as the most active buying segment, often bundling cleaning chemicals with food service disposables, paper products, and related supplies in consolidated RFPs.

Recent activity spans Texas, Connecticut, Georgia, and Virginia. The City of Arlington issued an RFP (Solicitation 270029) for janitorial services covering 11 Parks, Recreation, and Culture facilities with response due October 22, 2026, emphasizing seven-day-per-week cleaning and emergency services. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut, Department of Public Purchases solicited paper and cleaning products (BNB051266) for the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services, requiring Buy American compliance and 48-hour emergency delivery capability across 35 school sites, with bids due June 30, 2026. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas, released a catalog discount bid for custodial supplies (CUS2628) with an estimated two-year volume of $12,638,478.00 and a response deadline of May 26, 2026. Dougherty County Board of Education in Georgia (PE64710NONST2027000000081) requested sealed bids for a Food Safety and Sanitation Program covering 24 school nutrition sites, including HACCP training and on-site monitoring, due June 17, 2026. Cooperative purchasing agreements and school district nutrition programs represent the largest current opportunity corridors in this code.
