UNSPSC 41104127: Laboratory feeder

Equipment that supplies the solid, liquid, and vapor phases consecutively and automatically from the laboratory.

UNSPSC 41104127 Laboratory feeder, a Commodity code, sees limited recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes laboratory feeding equipment, but recent solicitations posted under this code do not reflect laboratory-grade feeders or related instruments. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted an IFB on July 15, 2026, for medical supplies and equipment serving the Abilene State Supported Living Center, covering gastrostomy feeding tubes, enteral feeding sets, IV stabilization devices, and related consumables—clinical supplies rather than laboratory feeders. The remaining recent opportunities in the block (underground utility locating, irrigation equipment, law enforcement equipment, and debris removal services) are plainly unrelated to laboratory feeders or feeding equipment of any kind. No issuing body appears more than once under this code in the recent-opportunities record, and no geographic concentration emerges. The code shows no material recent procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The mismatch between the code's name and the work actually being bought suggests either data entry error or category misclassification at the point of solicitation posting. Firms evaluating this code should not assume recent state and local procurement momentum; the July 2026 Texas HHS opportunity is the sole entry with plausible relevance, and it focuses on clinical enteral feeding supplies for a residential facility rather than laboratory instrumentation. Absent clarification of how state and local procurement offices are actually tagging laboratory feeder opportunities, the code presents minimal visibility into active demand.
