UNSPSC 41104928: Laboratory bottle receiver

Special fitted bottle for filter pumps and filtration units.

UNSPSC 41104928 Laboratory bottle receiver, a Commodity code, does not align with substantive recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes a single product line — bottle receivers for laboratory use — yet the most recent opportunities posted under or near this classification involve broader categories of laboratory consumables, reagents, instruments, and analytical equipment rather than bottle receivers specifically. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission's solicitation HHS0018026 (IFB, response due October 9, 2026) for standards, consumables, and instrument parts used in drinking water analysis includes gas chromatography columns, septa, liners, UHPLC columns, detector components, and ion source assemblies across 19 line items, with estimated fiscal 2026 spend of $50,000 to $75,000. The City of Arlington, Texas (IFB 270018, response due September 17, 2026) seeks an annual requirements contract for laboratory supplies and chemicals serving laboratory services, two water treatment plants, and water resources divisions. Additional recent opportunities focus on specialized reagents and instrumentation: Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's sole-source procurements for Qiagen wastewater surveillance testing reagents ($3.14 million, May 2026), Standard BioTools genomics systems and reagents ($3.3 million, May 2026), Ceres Nanosciences microbiome particles ($3.5 million, May 2026), and Twist Bioscience synthetic viral assay controls ($2.3 million, May 2026). Issuing bodies include state health departments, state transportation agencies, and municipalities, with Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple reagent and equipment procurements.

Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Texas and Colorado, with additional activity in California and South Dakota. The Texas General Land Office (IFB 7643LP, response due April 10, 2026) solicited water sample collection and analysis services for beach water quality monitoring, requiring cost-per-sample pricing and EPA-approved methods. The Texas Department of Transportation (IFB 601320000070474) procured concrete testing equipment including sieves, balance scales, and tamping rods for the Corpus Christi Area Office. California's procurement RFBIS26200889 (RFB, response due May 11, 2026) targeted Agilent vacuum manifolds and trap assemblies on a brand-name-only basis. South Dakota posted laboratory consumables, reagents, and chemicals solicitation RFBIS27200163 (RFB, response due September 25, 2026), though substantive details were not available. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual procurement activity—which centers on broader consumables categories, specialized reagents, and instrumentation rather than bottle receivers as a discrete product—suggests limited pursuit opportunity under this specific Commodity code.
