UNSPSC 41112221: Laboratory incubator thermometers

UNSPSC 41112221 Laboratory incubator thermometers is a Commodity code, but the recent opportunities posted under it show little relevance to the code's nominal scope. The source includes seven state and local solicitations, of which only two—the Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division's environmental conditions monitoring system (RFQ, due August 21, 2026) and the Texas Water Development Board's temperature sensors procurement (IFB, due August 25, 2026)—involve temperature measurement or monitoring equipment that could plausibly relate to laboratory environments. The other five opportunities concern pavement-marking applicators, water-utility vibration and temperature sensors, waste-to-energy facility design-build-operate-maintain services, municipal water and wastewater instrumentation inventory, and commercial kitchen equipment repair services. The code assignment appears to be a classification mismatch rather than a signal of active procurement in laboratory incubator thermometry.

The two marginally relevant opportunities reflect disparate issuing bodies and scopes. The Georgia Department of Agriculture is replacing an aging environmental monitoring system for fifty-eight critical units—refrigerators, freezers, ultra-low freezers, incubators, forced-air drying ovens, and laboratory rooms across facilities in Tifton and Atlanta, with temperature and humidity monitoring required. The Texas Water Development Board is procuring temperature sensors, cables, and mounting equipment under a single-source specification framework (exact manufacturer brands and models specified, no substitution allowed), due August 25, 2026. Geographic activity appears scattered across Georgia, Texas, Florida, and Arizona, with no clear concentration. Given the mismatch between the code's stated commodity and the recent opportunities posted under it, business development professionals should verify the actual scope before committing resources to pursue opportunities nominally tagged with this code.
