UNSPSC 41103818: Microplate shaker

Shaker, specific to microplates, that has orbital, reciprocal or rotating action to maintain homogenous mixture within contents of microplate wells

UNSPSC 41103818 Microplate shaker is a Commodity code that shows limited recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The two most recent opportunities tagged to this code diverge substantially from microplate-shaker equipment: Pinellas County Utilities' ITQ 26-0647 (posted June 23, 2026, due June 30, 2026) solicits mixer parts and accessories for an existing blanket purchase agreement, while the City of Palm Bay's ITB 19-ITB-26 (posted April 13, 2026, due March 17, 2026) procures comprehensive laboratory testing services across water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment programs. The laboratory-testing opportunity encompasses 188 line items with unit prices ranging from $0 for field measurements to $425 for specialized analyses such as Cryptosporidium testing, with historical city spending of $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025. Neither solicitation involves the purchase or lease of microplate-shaker equipment itself, suggesting the code may be misapplied in state and local procurement systems or the code receives limited direct activity.

Both recent opportunities are located in Florida (Pinellas County and Brevard County), but this geographic concentration reflects a narrow sample. Pinellas County Utilities is renewing or continuing a parts supply contract under a prior ITB from 2022, with place of performance spanning Pinellas County and Clewiston City. The City of Palm Bay's laboratory contract requires bidders to hold Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Certification Program credentials and NELAP accreditation, with a minimum of five years of experience and location within one hundred miles of the City's North Regional Campus; three bids were received from Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc. ($80,872.00), Flowers Chemical Laboratories, Inc. ($91,775.40), and Pace Analytical Services, LLC ($107,946.10). The code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement for microplate-shaker equipment or accessories.
