UNSPSC 41103516: Arm hood

A type of device that absorbs the harmful toxic gas and releases out the gas and others generated from the chemical or physical reaction at the laboratory or research center to outside of building and others through the pipes.

UNSPSC 41103516 Arm hood is a Commodity code for specialized hoods and related laboratory safety equipment that state and local governments procure for classroom, industrial, and laboratory decontamination and operational use. Recent opportunities under this code show a mismatch between the nominal scope and actual buying patterns: the majority of recent solicitations tagged to this code involve full laboratory fume hoods, decontamination services for hazardous fume hoods, and catalog discount bids for broad classroom furniture and supplies that incidentally include hoods as one product category among many. State and local issuing bodies using this code include higher education institutions (the University of Wisconsin–Madison), state departments (Illinois Department of Agriculture), county governments (Pasco County), and regional purchasing cooperatives serving K–12 school districts and public entities (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas). The code sees activity across multiple jurisdictions, with no single state or region dominating recent postings.

Recent representative opportunities include the Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's RFP for a two-year Catalog Discount Bid on Classroom Furniture & Supplies (CLSF2628), posted June 23, 2026, with a response deadline of May 26, 2026 and an estimated expenditure of $21,568,516 across the contract period; the University of Wisconsin–Madison's RFB for Laboratory Fume Hoods (2026-UWMSN-01231-RFB), posted March 20, 2026, with a due date of April 13, 2026; and the Illinois Department of Agriculture's emergency procurement notice (26406AGRAGINDB51725) for decontamination and repair of two perchloric acid fume hoods in Caseyville, Illinois, due July 25, 2026, valued at $143,937.50. Sourcewell's cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment (RFP #061626), posted May 12, 2026 with a June 16, 2026 deadline, was also tagged to this code but represents unrelated activity (tactical gear and protective equipment for law enforcement) with no connection to arm hoods or laboratory fume hoods.
