UNSPSC 41111901: Counters

UNSPSC 41111901 Counters is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory and environmental monitoring instruments rather than retail checkout or point-of-sale counters; state and local government procurement activity under this code spans analytical equipment for environmental testing, facility monitoring systems, and specialized laboratory instrumentation. Recent opportunities show that agencies are acquiring tandem mass spectrometers for pesticide analysis, atmospheric gas detection systems for water treatment facilities, environmental conditions monitoring equipment for laboratory rooms and storage units, and related analytical and calibration instruments. The issuing bodies include state environmental protection agencies, state agricultural laboratories, municipal water and wastewater departments, public school districts, and university systems. Work typically includes equipment supply with on-site installation, operator and technician training, comprehensive documentation, spare parts stocking, and multi-year maintenance and support contracts.

Recent solicitations span multiple states and jurisdictions. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency posted IFB 26-532EPA-LAB53-B-53209 in August 2026 for a tandem mass spectrometer (LC/MS/MS) system for pesticide analysis in surface water, with bids due September 1, 2026, and domestic product preference applying. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued IFB-27-0435 in August 2026 for atmospheric monitoring instruments—fixed installations to detect hazardous gases at water and wastewater facilities, with offers due September 4, 2026, and a five-year contract term. The Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division posted RFQ 40200ERFQ0018662027 in August 2026 for an environmental conditions monitoring system to replace aging equipment across laboratory facilities in Tifton and Atlanta, with responses due August 21, 2026. Clayton County Public Schools (Georgia) issued IFB 002-27 in October 2026 for musical equipment, labs, and sound systems including music technology lab stations, with bids due November 5, 2026 and a 15 percent Small Local Business Enterprise contracting goal. Activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, and Arizona, with sporadic opportunities from Texas and other states.
