UNSPSC 41103817: Laboratory reactor

A type of device that undertakes the chemical or biological reaction from the laboratory. This device is to make the chemical reaction easier by giving the time to stay or add the heat, pressure, agitation, light or catalyst.

UNSPSC 41103817 Laboratory reactor, a Commodity code, covers laboratory analytical testing services that state and local governments procure to support regulatory compliance and environmental monitoring. Recent state and local opportunities show that jurisdictions are buying comprehensive laboratory testing for water treatment, wastewater treatment, groundwater monitoring, and industrial pretreatment programs, with testing scopes ranging from routine analyses (pH, conductance, temperature) to specialized microbial testing (Cryptosporidium, Giardia). The work encompasses courier and sampling services as well as analytical work performed at certified laboratories, with contractors required to furnish all labor, equipment, supplies, and consumables. Issuing bodies include municipalities (cities) and county public health departments. Bidders must typically hold environmental laboratory certifications and specialized accreditations such as NELAP (now NELAP-equivalent) and state-level environmental lab certification, and in municipal water and wastewater contexts must demonstrate multi-year experience serving utilities. Subcontracting of analytical work is commonly prohibited or tightly restricted to ensure data continuity and regulatory compliance.

The City of Palm Bay, Florida (Brevard County) issued ITB 19ITB26 for laboratory testing services supporting three wastewater treatment facilities, two water treatment facilities, groundwater monitoring wells, and an industrial pretreatment program. The scope encompassed 188 line items across water testing, wastewater testing, industrial pretreatment, and courier services, with unit prices ranging from $0 for field measurements to $425 for specialized microbial analyses; the bid deadline was March 17, 2026, and three bids were received with totals ranging from $80,872 to $107,946. The County of Santa Clara issued RFI RFITSSFY260686 on April 7, 2026, for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution replacement with an April 22, 2026, response deadline. Recent activity shows procurement spread across Florida and California, with municipal and county public health labs as primary customers.
