UNSPSC 41121716: Scintillation vial

Cylindrical container with screw cap composed of glass, translucent polypropylene or opaque polyethylene used in the laboratory setting for chromatography, gamma or scintillation counting.

UNSPSC 41121716 Scintillation vial is a Commodity code that represents laboratory and medical diagnostic equipment components. Based on recent state and local solicitations, scintillation vials appear in procurement activity primarily through broad medical supplies frameworks rather than as standalone line items. State and local governments acquire scintillation vials as components within larger medical supply catalogs, occupational health programs, and laboratory diagnostic services. Issuing bodies include state agencies (Idaho, Washington), state transportation departments, cooperative purchasing consortiums (NASPO ValuePoint, Sourcewell), and county governments. The code sees activity across both direct state procurements and framework agreements that extend purchasing access to multiple participating entities and jurisdictions.

Recent opportunities reflect a geographic spread centered on the Pacific Northwest and upper Midwest. Idaho and Washington state agencies posted solicitations in the third quarter of 2026. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare, through NASPO ValuePoint RFP NVP_1443, solicited medical supplies with comprehensive product catalogs and tiered pricing due November 9, 2026. The Washington State Department of Transportation's Washington State Ferries posted RFP20260825 for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026) that would require medical examinations across 14 Washington ferry locations. A Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (response due June 16, 2026) represents broader multi-state and multi-entity frameworks. None of these opportunities explicitly foreground scintillation vials as a primary procurement focus, suggesting the code may capture tangential medical supply activity rather than dedicated vial procurement by state and local buyers.
