UNSPSC 41115852: Flow cytometry analyzer

Automated system for laser based cell counting and sorting, biomarker monitoring and other biophysical applications by suspension in fluid and passage through a detection system

UNSPSC 41115852 Flow cytometry analyzer is a Commodity code that state and local governments use to procure laboratory diagnostic and medical testing equipment, though recent opportunities tagged with this code show a mismatch between the nominal scope and actual work being solicited. The two recent opportunities posted under this code are a blood transfusion equipment procurement from California's Emergency Medical Services Board (IFB, response due September 9, 2026, for blood warmers and transport bags under Measure B funding) and a janitorial and operational supplies contract from Hillsborough County, Florida (ITB, response due July 24, 2026, with an estimated value of $765,679.84 for fire rescue department consumables). Neither opportunity aligns with flow cytometry analyzer procurement — a specialized hematology or immunology instrument used in clinical laboratories for cell sorting and analysis. The code shows little relevant recent activity under its stated scope; the opportunities posted under it appear to reflect miscoding rather than genuine market activity in laboratory flow cytometry equipment.

Geographic activity is sparse and scattered across California and Florida based on the recent postings, with no pattern suggesting sustained procurement of the equipment nominally described by this code. The issuing bodies include a state-level emergency services board and a county government. Given the mismatch between the code's name and the actual opportunities posted, pursuit of this code for flow cytometry analyzer sales would likely be inefficient. Business development teams should monitor whether the coding error persists or whether genuine flow cytometry opportunities begin appearing under this or related laboratory equipment codes.
