UNSPSC 41105200: Laboratory slide stainer equipment and accessories

UNSPSC 41105200 Laboratory slide stainer equipment and accessories is a Class code that encompasses laboratory equipment procurement and related services, though recent state and local opportunities show activity spanning a broader range of laboratory instrument relocation, chemical supply, and lab information management systems rather than slide stainers specifically. State and local governments are soliciting under this code for services including the movement and recalibration of analytical laboratory equipment (gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, ICP-MS systems, HPLC instruments, thermal cyclers, genetic analyzers), the supply of laboratory chemicals (copper sulfate crystals and liquid forms), and the procurement of lab information management systems (LIMS) to support public health laboratory operations. Issuing bodies include state departments (Missouri Department of Natural Resources, Missouri State Highway Patrol, Missouri Department of Agriculture), county governments (Pasco County, Florida; Santa Clara County, California), and emergency management divisions that rely on laboratory equipment and supplies as part of their operational infrastructure.

Recent activity spans Missouri, Florida, and California. The Missouri Division of Purchasing is soliciting laboratory relocation services through MissouriBUYS on behalf of three state agencies, with proposals due August 11, 2026, requiring contractors to demonstrate five years of professional experience moving and recalibrating analytical laboratory equipment plus one year of hazardous materials handling experience; the scope includes relocating over 100 DNR analytical instruments, 114 MSHP forensic laboratory pieces, and MDA laboratory equipment to a new multi-agency campus in Jefferson City, with mandatory facility tours on July 29, 2026. Pasco County issued an RFQ for as-needed supply of large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate with a June 26, 2026 deadline under an indefinite-quantity arrangement. Santa Clara County posted an RFI for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement on April 7, 2026, with response due April 22, 2026, seeking a modern, scalable LIMS capable of supporting the full range of public health laboratory workflows.
