UNSPSC 41104015: Plant samples analysis equipment

UNSPSC 41104015 Plant samples analysis equipment, a Commodity code, encompasses forensic collection kits, laboratory instrumentation, and plant propagation and sourcing services that state and local governments procure to support crime laboratories, public health operations, and environmental restoration programs. State and local buyers under this code include state patrol crime laboratories, county public health departments, county parks and environmental agencies, and higher education institutions operating research or diagnostic facilities. The scope reflects a mix of consumable collection and containment products—DNA buccal collection kits with evidence seals and chain-of-custody packaging—alongside durable analytical equipment such as x-ray diffraction instruments and lab information management systems, as well as horticultural services including native plant nursery production and delivery.

Recent activity spans Nebraska, California, and Florida, with representation from state purchasing bureaus, county environmental and public health divisions, and academic procurement offices.
