UNSPSC 41104016: Air pollutant samplers

UNSPSC 41104016 Air pollutant samplers is a Commodity code showing minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes equipment for collecting air quality samples, but the most recent opportunities posted under this classification involve unrelated products — DNA collection kits for forensic databases, bridge replacements, laboratory information management systems, and X-ray diffraction instruments for geological research. The mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the source data or that this code is being used as a fallback classification for laboratory and scientific equipment more broadly rather than for air pollution monitoring devices.

No recent solicitations in the source material involve actual air pollutant sampling equipment or services. The Nebraska Department of Administrative Services' ITB 125399 OR (due July 24, 2026) is for DNA buccal collection kits for the State Patrol Crime Laboratory; Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge replacement project Y26-742 (due July 7, 2026) involves civil infrastructure; Santa Clara County's RFI RFITSSFY260686 seeks a laboratory information management system; and the University of Southern Mississippi's RFB 26-28 (due March 17, 2026) procures X-ray diffraction instrumentation. None of these represent the air sampling or air quality monitoring work the code's name suggests. Firms pursuing procurement tied to air pollutant sampling should verify the actual UNSPSC classification used by target agencies in their own RFPs and RFQs rather than rely on this code's current tagging.
