UNSPSC 41104305: Inspissators

UNSPSC 41104305 Inspissators is a Commodity code covering equipment and supplies used in scientific and laboratory settings to concentrate or thicken liquids, yet the recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal relevance to the abstract taxonomy designation. Klein Independent School District (Klein ISD) in Harris County, Texas posted an RFP in April 2026 seeking Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources, which encompasses textbooks, STEM enrichment materials, technology software, specialized equipment, and related support services across 17 distinct CTE program areas including agricultural science, architecture, health sciences, manufacturing, and welding. The scope spans delivery, installation, maintenance, and implementation support, and vendors may respond for one or more instructional categories with the district reserving the right to award to multiple vendors by category. The coding mismatch suggests that inspissator-related procurement under this code does not currently materialize in state and local solicitations, or that the Klein ISD opportunity was tagged with an inaccurate code.

Klein ISD is the sole issuing body reflected in recent activity under this Commodity code. The district issued the RFP on April 17, 2026, with a question deadline of May 15, 2026, and electronic proposals due June 5, 2026, at 2:00 PM through the Bonfire purchasing system. Award recommendations are targeted for August 10, 2026, with contract performance beginning September 1, 2026, structured as a firm fixed-price agreement with an initial one-year term and four optional one-year renewals. The district does not implement set-asides but actively encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE participation as prime contractors and subcontractors. All vendors must be licensed in Texas and Harris County, maintain general liability and workers' compensation insurance with minimum $1,000,000 coverage, and provide three references demonstrating similar experience. No overall budget range or award value is specified in the solicitation materials.
