UNSPSC 41115400: Spectroscopic equipment

UNSPSC 41115400 Spectroscopic equipment, a Class code, encompasses laboratory instruments and systems used by state and local health and agricultural agencies to detect pathogens and contaminants through spectroscopic or immunoassay analysis. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show procurement of rapid-detection systems for foodborne pathogen identification and related laboratory infrastructure. The issuing bodies are state-level departments and county-level public health authorities — specifically, the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services and Santa Clara County — reflecting the concentration of spectroscopic equipment demand in regulatory and public health functions rather than general-purpose municipal purchasing.

Activity under the code is sparse but concrete. The Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Division of Food Safety, posted a single-source procurement (Solicitation SS15619, response deadline April 29, 2026) for five VIDAS Kube spectroscopic units from bioMérieux, Inc., valued at approximately $105,000, to replace obsolete equipment and maintain AOAC-validated foodborne pathogen detection capability. Santa Clara County issued a Request for Information (RFITSSFY260686, response deadline April 22, 2026) for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution that would support laboratory workflows, though the RFI does not specify equipment or system type. Recent activity is concentrated in California and Florida; no other states or jurisdictions appear in the available opportunities block.
