UNSPSC 41103413: Refrigerated and heated walk in environmental or growth chambers

UNSPSC 41103413 Refrigerated and heated walk-in environmental or growth chambers (Commodity) covers specialized laboratory incubation equipment that state and local governments procure for research, diagnostic, and clinical applications. The code captures branded scientific instruments such as CO2 incubators used in biomedical research, clinical microbiology, and pathology workflows. State and local issuing bodies—particularly state health and research agencies—solicit these units through brand-name-only procurement vehicles when performance specifications or existing laboratory workflows demand exact equipment compatibility. Procurement under this code typically centers on single-unit or small-quantity purchases of high-specification incubators, often with mandatory compliance requirements including business-enterprise certification and health information safeguarding obligations.

The State of California Department of General Services posted RFB 26200994 on May 26, 2026, requesting one Thermo Scientific Model 3950 Reach-In Large Capacity CO2 Incubator with bids due June 11, 2026. The solicitation was structured as brand-name-only, with no substitutions permitted, and required bidders to submit a Certified Business Enterprise form as a mandatory prerequisite. Vendors were obligated to acknowledge compliance with HIPAA Business Associate Agreement terms. This represents the most recent documented state-local activity under the code; no other recent opportunities are present in the source material, suggesting limited overall procurement velocity under this Commodity code at the state and local level.
