UNSPSC 41115413: Flow cytometer

A device that makes the quality and quantity analysis on sell particle size, internal structure and others of sample by measuring the scattered light and fluorescence radiated by individual particle with the irradiation of excitation light on the thin current flowing down the particles, such as dyed cell with fluorescence and others.

UNSPSC 41115413 Flow cytometer is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement has been tagged for lab information management system acquisitions rather than the analytical instruments the code nominally describes. The County of Santa Clara's April 2026 RFI for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement, posted under this code, seeks a modern, scalable LIMS capable of supporting the complete range of workflows for public health lab operations and compliant with regulatory requirements — a software and systems integration buy, not laboratory equipment. The issuing body here is a county public health department, the type of entity most likely to solicit under this code in state and local markets.

The single recent opportunity supporting this code originates in California. The County of Santa Clara issued an RFI (Request for Information) on April 7, 2026, with a response deadline of April 22, 2026, to gauge vendor interest and capability in providing a LIMS solution. The RFI disclosed no set-aside designations, budget parameters, or incumbent vendor details. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual procurement signals that buyers or their procurement staff may be applying this flow cytometer commodity code to related lab operations work that falls outside the code's strict scope. Vendors tracking this code should verify alignment with their actual service offerings before responding to opportunities posted under it.
