UNSPSC 41115838: Particle counter and sizer accessories and supplies

Replacement parts, accessories and supplies for automated fluid particle enumeration and size distribution analysis

UNSPSC 41115838 Particle counter and sizer accessories and supplies is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers medical equipment and related supplies that are plainly unrelated to the code's nominal scope. The nine most recent opportunities tagged under this code span emergency medical services equipment (intraosseous infusion needles and stabilizers), automated external defibrillators and batteries, computerized rehabilitation simulators with virtual reality integration, law enforcement equipment, laboratory analyzers and technical support, metabolic measurement systems, blood pressure cuff accessories, career and technical education instructional materials and equipment, pharmacy benefit management services, transport ventilators, and litigation support services. None of these solicitations describe particle counters or sizing instruments in any form. The issuing bodies include county governments (Williamson County, Marion County, Collier County, Clay County), school districts (Cobb County School District, Klein Independent School District), state universities (Georgia Southern University via Terrell County, Lamar University), a city (Orlando), a transit authority (Trinity Metro in Fort Worth), and a statewide cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington counties). The mismatch between the code's intended scope and the work actually being procured suggests this code receives either systematic miscoding in state and local procurement systems or carries no active relevance to current buying activity in the jurisdiction dataset.

Recent opportunities are geographically scattered across Texas (Lamar University, Klein ISD, Trinity Metro), Georgia (GSW State University), Florida (Williamson County, Marion County, Orlando, Clay County, Collier County), Washington state (Sourcewell cooperative, multi-county), and Minnesota (Sourcewell administration). No geographic concentration is evident. Representative recent solicitations include Williamson County's sole-source procurement for EZ-IO intraosseous infusion equipment (notice posted June 23, 2026, due July 7, 2026), Cobb County School District's request for quotes on AED units and batteries estimated at approximately $50,000 (posted June 18, 2026, due July 6, 2026), and Marion County's re-solicitation for blood pressure cuff accessories compatible with the LIFEPAK 15S defibrillator (posted April 29, 2026, due May 6, 2026). Vendors evaluating this code should treat it as a signal of miscoding rather than a viable pursuit vector unless the jurisdiction's procurement system has redefined the code's scope internally.
