UNSPSC 41104305: Inspissators

UNSPSC 41104305 Inspissators, a Commodity code, covers equipment used in laboratory and industrial settings to reduce the volume of liquids through evaporation or similar processes—specifically devices that concentrate or thicken solutions by removing water or solvent. State and local governments procure inspissators primarily for scientific research, quality control, clinical laboratory work, and certain manufacturing or water-treatment applications where liquid concentration is required. The equipment ranges from simple rotary evaporators and vacuum concentrators to specialized apparatus for pharmaceutical, environmental, or chemical analysis. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state health departments, university systems and research institutions, municipal water utilities, and independent school districts with laboratory science programs. The code sees relatively low volume compared to broader laboratory-equipment families, reflecting the specialized nature of the equipment and the smaller universe of organizations requiring liquid-concentration apparatus.

The source contains no recent state or local contract opportunities tagged to UNSPSC 41104305, so no geographic concentration, representative solicitations, or issuing-body repeat-buyer patterns can be identified from posted procurement records. The absence of recent activity does not indicate zero demand—inspissators are genuine procurement items—but rather that solicitations for this equipment are infrequent and may be absorbed into broader RFPs for laboratory supplies or instruments, placed through cooperative purchasing vehicles, or issued sporadically by smaller jurisdictions that do not post to centralized opportunity boards.
