About UNSPSC 41121600
UNSPSC 41121600 Pipette tips is a Class code covering laboratory-grade pipette tips, particularly OEM-branded consumables used in validated scientific testing and analysis. State and local governments procure these supplies primarily for forensic DNA analysis, environmental testing, and other regulated laboratory work where validated equipment performance is critical. The Idaho State Police Forensic Services DNA Unit exemplifies this use case: the agency's recent sole-source procurement specified Mettler Toledo Rainin pipette tips because the tips are validated for the laboratory's established DNA testing procedures and revalidation with alternative suppliers would compromise testing accuracy and create substantial resource costs. Issuing bodies include state law enforcement agencies and specialized laboratory divisions within state departments, purchasing through their administrative procurement offices. The scope focuses on compatible, OEM-certified tips rather than generic laboratory pipettes, reflecting the operational reality that forensic and regulated laboratories depend on validated consumables to maintain chain-of-custody and analytical integrity.
Recent activity is sparse, concentrated in the Mountain West and Far West. The Idaho Department of Administration, Division of Purchasing, solicited Mettler Toledo Rainin pipette tips for Idaho State Police on behalf of the ISP Forensic Services DNA Unit in a sole-source authorization posted September 17, 2026 with a challenge-period closing of September 27, 2026; the anticipated contract value was $50,000 over three years. California also posted RFB-IS-26200929 for Rainin Pipettes and Spacers on May 5, 2026 with a May 22, 2026 response deadline, though detailed specifications and award value are not available from the compressed source documents. Geographic presence appears limited to states with active forensic or specialized laboratory operations; most recent procurement opportunities in the code remain unstated or unavailable in the source material.
