UNSPSC 41121808: Laboratory burets

UNSPSC 41121808 Laboratory burets (Commodity) describes precision glassware and dispensing equipment used in analytical and forensic laboratory work, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows divergence: the three posted opportunities involve crime lab supplies procurement, environmental laboratory testing services, and lab information management systems—none of which center on burets as a product line. The Albuquerque Police Department's April 2026 RFB for crime lab supplies encompasses 124 line items including evidence packaging, fingerprint collection equipment, chemical reagents, protective gear, and specialized forensic tools; unit volumes range from single items to 216,000 units annually, with pricing structured on a per-item basis across the full kit. The City of Palm Bay issued an ITB in March 2026 for comprehensive laboratory testing services across water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment programs—188 line items spanning four service categories with annual quantities from single analyses to 15,000 tests depending on type. Santa Clara County posted an RFI in April 2026 for a lab information management system replacement. The issuing bodies represent a mix of city police departments, municipal water and wastewater utilities, and county public health agencies, suggesting the code captures a broader procurement category than burets alone.

Activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Florida. The Albuquerque Police Department solicitation (RFB-2026-762-POL-DV, due May 13, 2026) and Santa Clara County's LIMS RFI (RFITSSFY260686, due April 22, 2026) anchor western activity; the City of Palm Bay (Brevard County, Florida) ITB 19-ITB-26 (response deadline March 17, 2026, with historical spending of $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025) represents municipal utility procurement in the Southeast. The Palm Bay opportunity awarded to Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc. at $80,872.00 (lowest of three bids received), with Flowers Chemical Laboratories, Inc. at $91,775.40 and Pace Analytical Services, LLC at $107,946.10. The code shows limited recent activity specifically for laboratory burets as a standalone product; most posted opportunities address broader laboratory operational supplies, services, or systems.
