UNSPSC 41121605: Ultramicro pipette tips

UNSPSC 41121605 Ultramicro pipette tips is a Commodity code covering consumable laboratory supplies used in forensic and clinical settings. Recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited—the specific opportunities posted do not isolate ultramicro pipette tips as a standalone line item but instead tag broader laboratory supply and testing service procurements with this code. The City of Albuquerque Police Department's crime lab supplies RFB (RFB-2026-762-POL-DV, due May 13, 2026) encompasses 124 line items including evidence packaging, fingerprint collection equipment, chemical reagents, protective gear, and forensic tools; the source does not confirm ultramicro pipette tips are explicitly requested. The City of Palm Bay's laboratory testing services ITB (19-ITB-26, closed) sought analytical services across water, wastewater, and industrial pretreatment programs rather than pipette supplies. The County of Santa Clara's RFI for a lab information management system replacement (RFITSSFY260686, due April 22, 2026) addresses software infrastructure, not consumable tips. Issuing bodies across these opportunities span police evidence divisions, municipal utilities, and county public health agencies.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Florida, though the sample is too sparse to characterize the code's current market penetration reliably. No recent solicitations specifically target ultramicro pipette tips as a named commodity. The code shows little relevant recent activity when isolated to its stated scope; state and local procurement offices may be tagging these broader laboratory procurements with the code without itemizing individual tip products in public notices.
