UNSPSC 41111734: Microscope stages

UNSPSC 41111734 Microscope stages is a Commodity code that captures microscopy equipment and related services, though recent state and local solicitations under this code predominantly target broader microscope systems, accessories, and supporting services rather than stages specifically. State and local buyers using this code include university research institutions (most notably the University of Wisconsin-Madison), county health and environmental agencies, and large metropolitan county boards. The University of Wisconsin-Madison has posted multiple RFBs for microscope equipment and maintenance, signaling sustained institutional demand for scientific instrumentation. Hillsborough County's Water Resources Department solicited specialized microscope training services valued at $21,000.00, indicating that state and local procurement under microscope-related codes extends beyond equipment purchase to include operator training and compliance-certified instruction.

The most active recent geography includes Wisconsin and Florida, with the University of Wisconsin-Madison issuing two separate RFBs for atomic force microscope equipment (posted March 16, 2026, due March 27, 2026) and microscopes with accessories and maintenance services (posted March 12, 2026, due April 3, 2026), and Hillsborough County posting an IFQ for Motic Trinocular Microscope Training (posted February 23, 2026, due March 19, 2026). Santa Clara County in California posted an RFI for a lab information management system that would integrate with microscopy workflows in public health labs (posted April 7, 2026, due April 22, 2026), though this opportunity addresses software infrastructure rather than microscope hardware. The code shows moderate recent activity concentrated in higher-education and county-level environmental and public-health buyers; no state-level monopoly procurement or standing cooperative purchasing vehicles are evident in the recent opportunities.
