UNSPSC 41113029: Polarographs

UNSPSC 41113029 Polarographs, a Commodity code, captures laboratory testing equipment and related analytical instrumentation that state and local health and correctional agencies purchase to support diagnostic and clinical analysis. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show activity centered on laboratory testing services and specimen management rather than the equipment itself — Marion County, Oregon and Santa Clara County, California have posted opportunities for clinical laboratory workflows including phlebotomy, specimen handling, and lab information management systems. The issuing bodies are primarily county health departments and correctional health programs that require integrated laboratory operations, from specimen collection through result reporting, to serve public health and custody populations.

Marion County, Oregon issued an ITB on July 10, 2026 (response due July 24, 2026) for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy for adults in custody, encompassing specimen collection supplies, courier services, test reporting, and phlebotomist labor. Santa Clara County, California released an RFI on April 7, 2026 (response due April 22, 2026) for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution replacement, seeking a modern, scalable LIMS to support the full range of public health laboratory workflows. Geographic activity centers on the Pacific West, with Oregon and California showing the most recent opportunities. The code sees episodic procurement tied to health department operations and correctional health service renewals rather than continuous demand.
