UNSPSC 41106224: Electroporation system

Cuvette, plate, or chamber based system utilized for inserting or transfection of molecules into mammalian cells by using an electrical pulse to create pores in the cell membrane through which those molecules can pass

UNSPSC 41106224 Electroporation system is a Commodity code that sees minimal state and local procurement activity focused on laboratory and research equipment rather than the electroporation devices the code nominally describes. The recent opportunities block shows no electroporation system solicitations; instead, the code has been applied to diverse purchases including timeclock equipment (Mississippi State University sealed bid), hydrogen generator supplies (City of Philadelphia micro-purchase requirements contract), fire alarm system components (Mississippi State University sole-source), and specialized research instrumentation such as spectrometer systems, analytical instruments, and aquaculture equipment across multiple higher-education and state agencies. This mismatch between the code's intended scope and actual procurement activity suggests the code is either misapplied or rarely solicited for its nominal purpose in state and local markets.

The issuing bodies are predominantly research universities (Mississippi State University, University of Mississippi, University of Southern Mississippi, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas A&M University System) and state health or environmental agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission on behalf of Department of State Health Services, State of Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services, Michigan Department of Environment Great Lakes and Energy, State of Illinois Emergency Management Agency), with isolated county and city purchasing (County of Santa Clara, City of Philadelphia, Brazoria County Texas, Gwinnett County Georgia, City of Albuquerque). Geographic concentration appears heaviest in Mississippi (Mississippi State University alone accounting for roughly one-third of the recent notices posted between March and July 2026), with secondary activity in Oregon, Texas, Florida, and California. Representative recent opportunities include Mississippi State University's sealed bid for fire alarm replacement components (Solicitation 3150006921, sole-source notice with objection deadline July 22, 2026), the City of Philadelphia's micro-purchase for hydrogen generator supplies (Solicitation B2727494, quotes due July 15, 2026 with estimated annual spend $70,050 to $90,000), and Texas Health and Human Services Commission's sealed bid for COLILERT reagents and water bottles for bacteriological testing (Solicitation HHS0017459, responses due July 8, 2026, historical annual spend $70,050 to $90,000). The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with electroporation equipment procurement.
