UNSPSC 41111516: Weight measuring instrument accessories

UNSPSC 41111516 Weight measuring instrument accessories is a Commodity code that captures laboratory and science equipment supplies and related services purchased by state and local jurisdictions, though the recent solicitations reflect broader laboratory supply procurement rather than weighing equipment specifically. State and local buyers under this code include city utilities and laboratory services divisions, regional purchasing cooperatives like Sourcewell, and water resource management agencies. The scope of work encompasses laboratory supplies, chemicals, and equipment sourcing for municipal laboratory operations, water treatment facilities, and environmental testing services. Issuing bodies range from individual municipalities to cooperative purchasing vehicles that aggregate demand across multiple member public entities, with Sourcewell appearing as a significant aggregator for participating entities across multiple states.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across the Upper Midwest and Texas. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, posted RFP 26RFP111026 on September 21, 2026, seeking proposals for laboratory and science equipment, supplies, and related technology and services with responses due November 10, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal. The City of Arlington, Texas issued IFB 270018 on August 19, 2026, for an annual requirements contract supplying laboratory supplies and chemicals to the city's Laboratory Services, two water treatment plants, and Water Resources Services Division, with bids due September 17, 2026, submitted electronically through Euna Procurement or by sealed paper envelope.
