UNSPSC 41121801: Laboratory watch glasses

UNSPSC 41121801 Laboratory watch glasses is a Commodity code covering small precision glassware used in laboratory analytical work, including validated scientific processes and quality assurance testing. State and local governments procure these items primarily through state procurement offices managing centralized laboratory supply contracts and statewide price agreements, though individual state agencies and research institutions also source them independently.

The Oregon State Procurement office posted a Special Procurement Notice (S2570000017179) on June 9, 2026, with a protest period closing June 16, 2026, seeking direct purchase of Revvity Janus consumable supplies from the manufacturer under sole-source authority. OSP justified the direct procurement on the grounds that these consumables are required for validated laboratory processes and unavailable through existing statewide price agreements; Revvity does not participate in competitive bidding and is not registered in OregonBuys. This represents the only recent documented activity under the code in state and local procurement, suggesting limited or episodic solicitation for laboratory watch glasses specifically, though the broader consumables market for validated analytical equipment may see intermittent activity when agencies require manufacturer-specific items outside existing cooperative purchasing frameworks.
