UNSPSC 41106511: Kits for protein extraction from bacteria

UNSPSC 41106511 Kits for protein extraction from bacteria (Commodity) shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code's nominal scope—biochemical extraction kits—does not match the three most recent opportunities tagged under it, which span fire and rescue equipment maintenance, municipal water and wastewater laboratory testing services, and laboratory digestion block equipment procurement. State and local issuing bodies using this code include a county fire department (Fulton County, Georgia), a municipal water utility (City of Palm Bay, Florida), and a municipal water department (City of Fort Worth, Texas), representing typical operational and environmental compliance functions rather than research or microbiology-focused procurement.

Recent opportunities posted under the code include Fulton County, Georgia's July 2026 IFB for fire and rescue tools, equipment, and self-contained breathing apparatus maintenance (response due July 28, 2026); the City of Palm Bay's March 2026 ITB 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services across water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment programs, with three bids received ranging from $80,872 to $107,946 in total annual value; and the City of Fort Worth's March 2026 RFQt 260139 for a programmable digestion block system for the Water Department's Centralized Water Laboratory. The geographic spread reflects recent activity in Georgia and Florida, with one procurement in Texas. The apparent mismatch between the code's biochemical-kit scope and these operations-focused procurements suggests the code sees limited relevant activity for vendors specializing in protein extraction supplies—watch for reclassification or confirm coding accuracy with issuing bodies before investing pursuit resources.
