UNSPSC 41104425: Carbon dioxide incubator

A type of device that is used for culturing the bacilli or tissue that cannot be cultured without the carbon dioxide CO2 gas when culturing the bacilli or tissue at the hospital bacilli laboratory or other research institute.

UNSPSC 41104425 Carbon dioxide incubator, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—Santa Clara County's April 2026 RFI for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement—involves procurement of a laboratory information management system (LIMS) platform, not CO₂ incubators or related laboratory equipment. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual solicitation suggests either a tagging error in the county's procurement system or a fundamental scope misalignment. State and local health departments and public health laboratories represent the primary customer base for CO₂ incubators when they are procured, typically through county-level public health agencies and university research facilities.

Geographic activity under this code is limited to California based on the recent record. Santa Clara County's RFI (RFITSSFY260686), posted April 7, 2026, with a response deadline of April 22, 2026, represents the only documented recent state or local opportunity. The solicitation sought qualified vendors for a modern, scalable, and fully compliant LIMS capable of supporting the complete range of workflows for the county's Public Health Lab; no budget parameters, set-asides, or incumbent information were disclosed in the available documentation. The narrow recent activity and the apparent misalignment between code and solicitation content suggest this code may warrant watch status rather than active pursuit at this time unless additional opportunities emerge that clearly require CO₂ incubators or related laboratory environmental-control equipment.
