UNSPSC 41103806: Magnetic stirrers

UNSPSC 41103806 Magnetic stirrers is a Commodity code that in practice covers mixer parts, accessories, and related equipment procured by utilities and municipalities for water and wastewater treatment infrastructure. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show a significant mismatch between the nominal scope and actual purchasing activity. Pinellas County Utilities' ITQ 26-0647 solicits Invent Mixer Parts & Accessories for treatment operations, which aligns directly with the code name; however, the City of Palm Bay's ITB 19-ITB-26 is a comprehensive laboratory testing services procurement spanning water quality analysis, wastewater testing, and industrial pretreatment compliance work — a scope that falls outside magnetic stirrer or mixer equipment entirely. The presence of laboratory services under this code indicates either broad tagging of utility-related procurements or a data-classification issue.

Activity on the code concentrates in Florida, with Pinellas County Utilities and the City of Palm Bay (Brevard County) as recent issuers. Pinellas County Utilities posted its mixer parts and accessories ITQ on June 23, 2026, with a compressed six-day response window closing June 30, 2026; the solicitation references a prior blanket purchase agreement (BPA 457764 under ITB 22-0279) and suggests renewal or continuation of an existing relationship. The City of Palm Bay's laboratory testing ITB, posted April 13, 2026, closed March 13, 2026 (the source reflects a date anomaly), and drew three bids ranging from $80,872.00 to $107,946.10 for annual services; the City's historical spending on these services was $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025. For firms pursuing mixer parts and equipment under this code, the Pinellas County opportunity represents the clearest recent match; for laboratory services, the code appears to carry misclassified procurement and does not represent reliable future activity under the magnetic stirrers taxonomy.
