UNSPSC 41103700: Laboratory baths

UNSPSC 41103700 Laboratory baths is a Class code covering laboratory water temperature control and information management systems that state and local governments purchase to support public health, research, and diagnostic operations. The code captures both the physical equipment—heater-chiller units, aquaculture temperature control systems, and related thermal management devices—and the digital infrastructure state and local labs rely on to manage workflows and data. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring this equipment for public health laboratories, university research facilities, and specialized hatcheries. County health departments and university procurement offices are the primary issuing bodies under this code, alongside research institutions operating aquaculture and diagnostic facilities.

Activity under the code spans California and Mississippi with recent solicitations spanning public health and academic research. Santa Clara County posted a Request for Information on April 7, 2026, due April 22, 2026, seeking a modern, scalable lab information management system (LIMS) capable of supporting full-range workflows for its Public Health Lab. The University of Southern Mississippi's Procurement and Contract Services issued an Invitation for Bids (RFX 3160007920) on March 2, 2026, due March 20, 2026, for seventeen units of heater-chiller equipment with varying cooling capacities (6,000 to 120,000 BTUH) featuring titanium heat exchangers suitable for saltwater use, serving the Oyster Hatchery and Research Center at the Gulf Coast Research Laboratory. The Santa Clara procurement does not disclose budget parameters or contract value; the Mississippi solicitation specifies FOB destination delivery and 2% discount for payment within ten days or net 45 days, with no disclosed award ceiling. Neither opportunity names set-asides or enterprise category restrictions.
