UNSPSC 41105300: Laboratory electrophoresis and blotting system and supplies

UNSPSC 41105300 Laboratory electrophoresis and blotting system and supplies is a Class code, but the recent state and local procurement activity under it does not align with the code's nominal scope. The Missouri solicitation posted under this code—solicitation 300000256628988, issued by the State of Missouri Division of Purchasing on behalf of the Department of Natural Resources, Missouri State Highway Patrol, and Missouri Department of Agriculture with proposals due August 11, 2026—actually procures laboratory relocation services, including the physical moving, recalibration, and installation of analytical laboratory equipment, hazardous chemical handling, and facility transition management across three state agencies. The scope encompasses relocation of over 100 analytical instruments (gas chromatographs, mass spectrometers, ICP-MS systems, HPLC instruments), 114 pieces of forensic equipment (thermal cyclers, genetic analyzers, biosafety cabinets, microscopes, freezers), approximately 1,500 chemical items and reagents, and supporting office equipment and supplies from three current facilities to a new multi-agency laboratory campus in Jefferson City. The contractor must hold minimum qualifications including five years of professional experience in moving and recalibrating analytical laboratory equipment, one year moving hazardous materials under Department of Transportation regulations, and leadership and hazmat-trained personnel on staff. The contract runs from award through April 30, 2027, with two optional one-year renewals, on a firm fixed-price basis with a minimum general and automobile liability insurance requirement of $2,000,000 per occurrence.

The single identified recent opportunity reflects a state-level, multi-agency procurement rather than activity across multiple jurisdictions. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal description (laboratory electrophoresis and blotting systems and supplies) and the actual work solicited (laboratory relocation services) suggests the code shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement for its intended commodity scope. Mandatory facility tours were scheduled for July 29, 2026, at three locations with a pre-proposal teleconference on the same date at 8:30 a.m. Central Time.
