UNSPSC 41104804: Vacuum or rotary evaporators

UNSPSC 41104804 Vacuum or rotary evaporators is a Commodity code that shows limited alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local procurement activity. The single recent opportunity tagged to this code—Fulton County, Georgia's IFB for fire and rescue tools, equipment, self-contained breathing apparatus, and maintenance services—does not involve vacuum or rotary evaporators; instead, the solicitation covers powered rescue equipment (ventilation fans, rescue saws, chainsaws, trimmers, blowers), forcible entry tools, ladders, firefighting monitors, hose accessories, scene lighting, safety gear, and SCBA system maintenance. This mismatch suggests either a cataloging error in the state or local procurement system or that the code is used as a catch-all for laboratory and emergency-response equipment where more specific codes do not apply.

Fulton County, Georgia issued the only recent solicitation found under this code. The opportunity (IFB/GS/AFRD/2606-1260224, due July 28, 2026) was posted July 10, 2026 and covers six groups of equipment and services across fire and rescue operations, with all items required to meet NFPA, OSHA, and NIOSH standards. Without additional opportunities to characterize issuing-body patterns or geographic spread, this code presents minimal visibility into active state and local procurement. Firms considering this code should verify category assignment with procurement offices directly before investing in bid pursuit.
