UNSPSC 41105317: Agarose gel making reagents

UNSPSC 41105317 Agarose gel making reagents (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued ITB 19-ITB-26 in April 2026 for comprehensive laboratory testing services—analytical work performed on water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment samples across municipal treatment facilities and monitoring programs. This is a service contract for regulatory compliance testing, not a product solicitation for laboratory reagents or consumables. The scope encompasses 188 line items across four service categories (water testing, wastewater testing, industrial pretreatment testing, and courier services) with unit prices ranging from $0 for field measurements to $425 for specialized analyses such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia testing, with an estimated annual spend of $66,360 to $95,440 based on recent City expenditures. Bidders must hold Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Certification Program credentials, maintain NELAP accreditation, and be located within one hundred miles of the City's North Regional Campus, with 75 percent of analytical work performed in-house.

The source provides only one recent opportunity under this code. The mismatch between the Commodity code name (agarose gel making reagents) and the actual solicitation (laboratory testing services) suggests either a tagging error in the source or that this code is not actively used for state and local procurement of its nominal product. No additional geographic spread or issuing-body activity is evident from the records provided.
