UNSPSC 41103500: Laboratory enclosures and accessories

UNSPSC 41103500 Laboratory enclosures and accessories is a Class code that captures fume hoods, laboratory safety enclosures, isolators, and related containment equipment used in academic research, state regulatory laboratories, and specialized facility construction projects. The recent opportunities show state and local governments buying both new millwork packages that integrate laboratory casework into prison and corrections facilities, specialized animal-research isolators for university programs, and emergency decontamination and repair services for hazardous fume hoods in state chemistry labs. Issuing bodies range across state agencies (Georgia Department of Corrections, Illinois Department of Agriculture), higher education institutions (Texas A&M University), and cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple jurisdictions.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Georgia, Illinois, and Texas, with Texas A&M's poultry isolator procurement (ITB 26-5077, due August 11, 2026) and the Illinois Department of Agriculture's emergency perchloric hood decontamination contract (due July 25, 2026) representing specialized research and regulatory use cases. The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission's RFQ for millwork vendors on behalf of the Georgia Department of Corrections (PE40900RFQC2027000000252, due November 4, 2026) represents the largest recent scope—design, delivery, and installation of integrated casework, countertops, and cabinets meeting ADA accessibility standards and material specifications across multiple facility types, with installation running from June 2027 through February 2028. Georgia's reciprocal preference law applies to in-state proposers, and the selection committee weights experience and qualifications at 45 percent, stability at 25 percent, and suitability (including phased installation capability) at 30 percent. These opportunities demonstrate demand for both routine procurement of laboratory equipment and large-scale institutional projects requiring specialized vendor qualification and staged competition phases.
