UNSPSC 41103917: Centrifuge microplate carrier or sealing lid

Attachment for centrifuge rotor that allows for the centrifugation of microplates

UNSPSC 41103917 Centrifuge microplate carrier or sealing lid is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show no alignment with the nominal scope — instead, state and local solicitations tagged to this code are requesting pump and motor repair services and mixer parts for water utility operations. The two most recent records reflect mismatch: West Basin Municipal Water District's October 2026 on-call repair RFP targets electric motor and pump rebuilds across recycled water facilities in Los Angeles County, and Pinellas County Utilities' June 2026 ITQ sought Invent mixer parts and accessories for water treatment infrastructure. Neither opportunity involves centrifuge microplate carriers or sealing lids. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its published description.

Water utility and facilities maintenance districts appear to be the primary issuing bodies tagged to this code, with geographic activity concentrated in California and Florida. The West Basin opportunity covers an initial two-year term with a $1,000,000 not-to-exceed amount and requires five years' minimum experience in electric motor repair, California Public Works Contractor Registration, and liability insurance up to $2,000,000 per line; notice of recommended award was anticipated October 15, 2026. The Pinellas County Utilities ITQ closed June 30, 2026, with place of performance spanning Pinellas County and Clewiston City, Florida, and referenced an existing blanket purchase agreement (BPA 457764), suggesting potential continuation purchasing. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the water-utility operational work actually being solicited, this code warrants reclassification or vendor verification before pursuing opportunities posted under it.
