UNSPSC 41104801: Flask or retort units

UNSPSC 41104801 Flask or retort units is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement covers laboratory and emergency-response glass or metal vessels used for heating, mixing, or storing fluids and gases. Recent solicitations show the code appearing in broader fire and rescue equipment procurements where breathing apparatus and related safety systems are specified; the code itself does not drive standalone flask or retort purchasing at the state and local level in the available record. Issuing bodies using this code include county fire and emergency services departments procuring equipment bundles that meet NFPA, OSHA, and NIOSH standards for firefighter safety and operational readiness.

Fulton County, Georgia issued IFB/GS/AFRD/2606-1260224 on July 10, 2026, requesting bids for fire and rescue tools, equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus, and maintenance services, with bids due July 28, 2026. The solicitation spans six groups covering powered equipment, forcible entry tools, ladders, lighting, rescue gear, and comprehensive SCBA and breathing air system maintenance including inspections, repairs, flow testing, and annual fit testing. The available recent-opportunities record shows no other state or local bodies soliciting under this code; activity remains concentrated in Georgia emergency services procurement.
