UNSPSC 41103321: Floating body stability measurement apparatus

Equipment that measures the weight center of the gravity in floating body including stability, neutral, unstable and others for the object floating on the liquid surface. Floating pontoon is launched on the water tank to measure the center of floating body, and it measures the change of metacenter height following the slope of the metacenter and the floating body from metacenter height to experiment the stability of the floating body.

UNSPSC 41103321 Floating body stability measurement apparatus is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure laboratory testing supplies, reagents, and sample preparation equipment—though recent solicitations under this code show heavy concentration in environmental, public health, and forensic laboratory operations rather than floating-body measurement specifically. The work being solicited spans water quality monitoring consumables (sample collection kits, field sampling labor, laboratory analysis of bacteria and microbes), genomic surveillance reagents (synthetic viral controls, oligonucleotide probes, DNA/RNA preparation kits, magnetic hydrogel particles for microbe concentration), diagnostic equipment and accessories (microplate sealers, vacuum manifolds, sieve shakers, tamping rods, balance scales), and forensic evidence collection and processing supplies (DNA sampling materials, evidence packaging, consumables for trace testing). Issuing bodies include state public health and environmental laboratories (Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Texas General Land Office, California state procurement), municipal utilities (City of Palm Bay, Florida), transportation departments (Texas Department of Transportation), and county public health agencies (Santa Clara County). Colorado's Laboratory Services Division appears as the most active repeat buyer, with five separate sole-source procurements for specialized reagents and service agreements from Qiagen, Standard BioTools, Ceres Nanoscience, Twist Bioscience, and Integrated DNA Technologies between April and May 2026.

Recent activity concentrates in Colorado, Texas, California, and Florida. Representative opportunities include the Texas General Land Office's Invitation for Bids 7643-LP (due April 10, 2026) for water sample collection and laboratory analysis of bacteria at beaches across Brazoria, Matagorda, and Harris counties on a cost-per-sample basis; the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's sole-source procurement (due May 28, 2026) of Qiagen wastewater surveillance testing reagents and dPCR instruments valued at $3.14 million; and the City of Palm Bay's Invitation to Bid 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services across water, wastewater, and groundwater programs spanning 188 line items with historical annual spending of $66,360 to $95,440. California has issued multiple competitive RFBs for forensic and laboratory consumables (microplate sealing equipment, forensic evidence collection kits, trace evidence testing consumables, vacuum manifolds) with posting dates in February through April 2026. The code shows active procurement momentum, with most opportunities posted between March and June 2026 and driven by compliance testing, public health surveillance, and infrastructure maintenance requirements.
