UNSPSC 41115406: Spectrophotometers

UNSPSC 41115406 Spectrophotometers is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory analytical instruments and related equipment used in public health, clinical, and research settings. State and local governments procure spectrophotometers as components of broader lab operations and infrastructure modernization efforts, often as part of larger lab information management system (LIMS) implementations or standalone instrument replacements that support chemical analysis, pathogen detection, water quality testing, and other diagnostic workflows. Issuing bodies under this code include county public health departments and state health agencies that operate centralized laboratory facilities. The work typically involves instrument selection, installation, validation, and integration with existing lab information systems rather than spectrophotometer manufacturing or design.

The County of Santa Clara posted a Request for Information in April 2026 (RFITSSFY260686, due April 22, 2026) for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement that would encompass lab instrumentation including spectrophotometric analysis capabilities. This represents the most recent documented state and local procurement activity under the code. Geographic concentration appears limited to California-based public health infrastructure modernization, though the sparse recent-opportunity record suggests either narrow seasonal demand or limited state-and-local procurement velocity under this specific Commodity code.
