UNSPSC 41121520: Automated vial or tube decapper recapper

Automated system which utilizes a hands free torque technique to decap and recap tubes or vials while retaining reagent and sample integrity

UNSPSC 41121520 Automated vial or tube decapper recapper is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not align with its nominal scope. The Orange County, Florida bridge-replacement project (Y26742, IFB, due July 7, 2026, estimated cost $6,202,246.05) concerns structural infrastructure and civil construction, not laboratory equipment. The State of California procurement (RFBIS26200929, RFB, due May 22, 2026) is labeled as seeking Rainin pipettes and spacers for the Louisiana Association of Chiefs, but the compressed source documents prevent full assessment of whether this represents actual decapper-recapper procurement or is a classification mismatch in the tagging system.

Without access to uncompressed procurement documents or additional state and local solicitations aligned to this equipment category, no reliable characterization of issuing-body patterns, geographic concentration, or representative work scope can be drawn. Firms evaluating this code should verify whether recent opportunities genuinely involve automated vial or tube decapping and recapping equipment, or whether the code is being misapplied to unrelated procurements. Direct contact with state and local procurement offices in high-volume laboratory and research sectors (state health departments, university research facilities, state forensic or toxicology labs) may yield more relevant opportunities than the current tagged record set shows.
