UNSPSC 41121518: Aspirating pipette

Pipette that is unplugged, ungraduated and sterile, utilized for aspirating liquids by vacuum suction methodology

UNSPSC 41121518 Aspirating pipette is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with laboratory supplies. Of the three opportunities tagged under this code in the recent record, only one involves aspirating pipettes: the State of California issued RFB RFBIS26200929 on May 5, 2026 for Rainin Pipettes and Spacers, with bids due May 22, 2026, though the full specifications and scope remain unavailable in compressed format. The other two opportunities—Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge replacement project (Y26742, IFB posted June 25, 2026, bids due July 7, 2026 for $6,202,246.05) and the City of Palm Bay's laboratory testing services (19ITB26, ITB posted April 13, 2026, bids due March 17, 2026)—bear no relevance to aspirating pipettes and appear to be miscoded. The Palm Bay solicitation did involve laboratory work across water, wastewater, and groundwater programs, but the scope centered on analytical testing services rather than laboratory supply procurement, with historical spending of $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025.

Recent activity under this code is too sparse to characterize issuing-body concentration or geographic patterns with confidence. The California RFB for pipettes is the sole clearly relevant opportunity on record, posted in May 2026. State and local procurement of aspirating pipettes does not appear to drive sustained demand at this time, and interested vendors should monitor California and other state health or environmental laboratory programs for future opportunities while recognizing that many laboratory supply purchases may fall under higher-tier family or class codes that aggregate consumables more broadly.
