UNSPSC 41104821: Static sample concentrator

Units for the static concentration of clinical samples prior to analysis

UNSPSC 41104821 Static sample concentrator is a Commodity code that describes laboratory reagents and specialized equipment used to concentrate microbiological, chemical, and genomic samples for downstream testing and analysis in state and local public health, environmental monitoring, and forensic applications. State and local governments procure these concentrators primarily as consumable reagents and supporting instrumentation for wastewater surveillance, newborn screening, genomic epidemiology, environmental compliance testing, and forensic evidence processing. Recent solicitations show demand for proprietary magnetic hydrogel particles, synthetic viral controls, oligonucleotide reagents, and branded extraction equipment integrated into established laboratory workflows. Issuing bodies include state departments of public health and environment (Colorado, Texas), cities and counties conducting water and wastewater monitoring (Palm Bay, Santa Clara), state transportation agencies (TxDOT), and state forensic and laboratory services divisions. Colorado's Department of Public Health and Environment appears repeatedly as a major buyer, with multiple sole-source procurements for specialized reagent kits and extraction platforms supporting genomic surveillance and newborn screening programs.

Recent opportunities span Colorado, Texas, California, and Florida. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has posted five sole-source reagent and equipment contracts between April and May 2026, including Ceres Nanosciences Nanotrap Microbiome Particles ($3.5 million, June 2024–June 2029) for concentrating low-abundance microbes from wastewater samples, Integrated DNA Technologies reagents ($1.7 million, August 2024–August 2029) for viral surveillance primers and probes, Twist Bioscience synthetic viral controls ($2.3 million, May 2026–May 2030), Qiagen dPCR instruments and reagents ($3.14 million, December 2023–December 2028), and Standard BioTools X9 genomic systems ($2.3 million plus $1 million in reagents, December 2023–December 2028). The Texas General Land Office issued IFB 7643-LP in June 2026 for water sample collection and laboratory analysis under the Texas Beach Watch Program across Brazoria, Matagorda, and Harris counties (response due April 10, 2026), with pricing on a cost-per-sample basis and a VetHUB subcontracting requirement. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued ITB 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services spanning water, wastewater, and industrial pretreatment programs with 188 line items and historical annual spend of $66,360–$95,440. California's state procurement office posted multiple brand-specific and consumable-focused RFBs for laboratory equipment, forensic supplies, and sample preparation tools between February and April 2026.
