UNSPSC 41116129: Microbiology or bacteriology test kits or supplies

UNSPSC 41116129 Microbiology or bacteriology test kits or supplies (Commodity) encompasses laboratory analysis services and diagnostic materials for environmental and indoor air quality assessment, as evidenced by state and local solicitations that tag microbiology testing services alongside asbestos and mold analysis capabilities. The code captures what school districts and other public bodies procure when they need on-site or centralized laboratory capacity to test building materials, air samples, and environmental specimens — including the kits, reagents, analytical equipment, and certified personnel required to deliver results within specified turnaround times. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include school districts seeking indoor environmental health compliance and related testing services. The work involves contracted laboratory analysis, sample processing, and reporting, often bundled with site investigation and remediation support.

Pinellas County School District (Florida) posted an ITB for Indoor Air Quality Services (ITB #26-CD-039) due November 6, 2026, with an estimated contract value of approximately $100,000 and a term commencing December 16, 2026. The solicitation requires the prime contractor to maintain an in-house laboratory staffed with microbiologists and environmental analysts within 25 miles of the service center, capable of delivering air quality analysis results within same-day to five-day turnaround; the contractor must hold Florida Asbestos License, Licensed Mold Assessor certification, Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Certification (AIHA), and NVLAP certification. This is the only recent state or local opportunity identified under the code; the source does not support geographic characterization beyond Florida or identification of other repeat issuing bodies.
