UNSPSC 41121703: Centrifuge tubes

UNSPSC 41121703 Centrifuge tubes (Commodity) names a product that does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity under this code. The two most recent state-local contract opportunities tagged with this code — the City of Palm Bay's laboratory testing services ITB and Santa Clara County's lab information management system RFI — are soliciting for analytical testing services and software platforms, not consumable laboratory supplies like centrifuge tubes. The Palm Bay ITB, issued in April 2026, encompasses 188 line items for water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment testing across five municipal facilities, with unit prices for individual analyses ranging from $0 to $425 and historical annual spending at $66,360 to $95,440. The Santa Clara RFI, also posted in April 2026, seeks a modern, scalable lab information management system to support public health lab workflows. Neither solicitation reflects actual demand for centrifuge tubes or other consumable laboratory equipment.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. The two opportunities on record are misaligned with the Commodity's nominal scope — one addresses testing services (labor-intensive analytical work) and the other addresses software licensing and implementation. State and local government procurement activity under UNSPSC 41121703 is not evident from current market signals. Vendors pursuing consumable laboratory supplies should verify whether their target jurisdictions use this code for centrifuge tubes or whether demand clusters under different commodity codes within the laboratory supplies family.
