UNSPSC 41121608: Robotic pipette tips

UNSPSC 41121608 Robotic pipette tips is a Commodity code that encompasses consumable laboratory pipetting supplies used in forensic analysis, environmental testing, and public health laboratory workflows. State and local governments procure these items as part of broader laboratory operations and evidence processing activities, typically bundled within larger supply or equipment contracts rather than as standalone line items. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal police departments (via city purchasing divisions), municipal utilities and environmental departments, and county public health agencies. Recent activity shows police departments and municipal environmental testing programs as primary users, with police evidence labs and water/wastewater utilities generating the most visible procurement activity.

Geographic spread concentrates in the Southwest and Southeast, with recent solicitations from New Mexico (Albuquerque Police Department), Florida (City of Palm Bay), and California (County of Santa Clara). The Albuquerque Police Department's Scientific Evidence Division issued RFB 2026762POLDV in April 2026 (due May 13, 2026) for 124 line items of crime lab supplies including forensic and evidence-handling consumables, with an initial two-year contract term and two-year renewal option. The City of Palm Bay issued ITB 19ITB26 (originally due March 17, 2026, now closed) for laboratory testing services across water, wastewater, and industrial pretreatment programs, encompassing 188 line items; three bids were received, ranging from $80,872 to $107,946. Santa Clara County issued an RFI posted April 7, 2026 (due April 22, 2026) for a lab information management system replacement to support public health lab workflows. Pipette tips would be embedded in supplies requisitions for forensic and environmental testing rather than procured independently.
