UNSPSC 41121519: Positive displacment repeating pipettor

Pipettor operating on a positive displacement principle, which contains a reservoir tip, allowing for variable volume repeating dispensing from the reservoir and not from the primary sample

UNSPSC 41121519 Positive displacement repeating pipettor is a Commodity code that shows a mismatch between its nominal scope and the recent state and local activity tagged under it. The single concrete opportunity in the recent record is a California State RFB (RFBIS26200929) posted May 5, 2026, for Rainin pipettes and spacers intended for the Louisiana Association of Chiefs, with a response deadline of May 22, 2026—consistent with the code's laboratory equipment focus. However, the second recent opportunity tagged to this code is Orange County, Florida's emergency bridge replacement solicitation (Y26-742), a sealed-bid IFB for full replacements of Wallington Drive Bridge and Egret Way Bridge posted June 25, 2026 (later revised with July 7, 2026 deadline), estimated at $6,202,246.05. The bridge project is entirely unrelated to positive displacement pipettors and represents a clear tagging error; it does not reflect actual purchasing activity under this code.

The pipette solicitation from California is the only relevant recent opportunity on record. Beyond that single instance, the code shows minimal documented state and local procurement activity, and the issuing-body mix cannot be characterized from the available record. Geographic activity is limited to California. Business development professionals should obtain the complete RFBIS26200929 packet from California's procurement office to assess whether this represents emerging demand for laboratory pipette supplies in state and local contracting or a one-time procurement. The code warrants monitoring for future activity but does not currently support a sustained pursuit strategy.
