UNSPSC 41105002: Laboratory sifting equipment

UNSPSC 41105002 Laboratory sifting equipment (Commodity) shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities recently posted under this code. The three recent solicitations capture fire and rescue equipment maintenance, municipal water and wastewater laboratory testing services, and material testing and inspection services for stadium construction—none of which involve laboratory sifting equipment. The code appears to be a mistagging artifact in these procurement records rather than a functional category for current state and local buying activity.

The issuing bodies span county, city, and municipal jurisdictions: Fulton County, Georgia (fire and rescue); the City of Palm Bay, Florida (water and wastewater laboratory testing); and the City of Orlando, Florida (stadium construction material testing). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia and Florida. The Fulton County IFB for fire and rescue tools and SCBA maintenance closed July 28, 2026; the Palm Bay ITB 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services (water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment) closed March 17, 2026, with three bids ranging from $80,872 to $107,946; and the City of Orlando RFQ for material testing services closed October 29, 2025. Without recent opportunities that actually involve laboratory sifting equipment, this code does not represent a meaningful procurement category for business development purposes at this time.
