UNSPSC 41121810: Laboratory staining dishes or jars

UNSPSC 41121810 Laboratory staining dishes or jars is a Commodity code that encompasses consumable laboratory vessels and containers used in clinical, forensic, public health, and environmental testing operations. State and local governments procure this code primarily as part of larger laboratory supply bundles supporting crime labs, public health agencies, water quality testing programs, and environmental monitoring facilities. The code sits within a broader family of consumable lab supplies and equipment that these jurisdictions buy regularly to maintain testing capacity and regulatory compliance.

Recent opportunities show activity across municipal police departments, county public health labs, and municipal water and wastewater utilities. The City of Albuquerque Purchasing Division issued RFB-2026-762-POL-DV on April 14, 2026 (due May 13, 2026) for 124 line items of forensic and laboratory supplies for the Albuquerque Police Department's Scientific Evidence Division crime lab, spanning evidence packaging, fingerprint collection equipment, chemical reagents, protective gear, and specialized forensic tools with annual usage quantities ranging from single units to 216,000 units. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued Invitation to Bid 19-ITB-26 on April 13, 2026 for laboratory testing services across water, wastewater, and groundwater programs, which includes consumable supplies as part of the 188-line-item scope. Santa Clara County issued a Request for Information on April 7, 2026 (due April 22, 2026) for a Public Health Lab Information Management System replacement, signaling ongoing lab operations infrastructure. Geographic activity spans the Southwest (New Mexico), Southeast (Florida), and West Coast (California) in recent postings, with municipal purchasing divisions and county public health departments as the primary issuing bodies. Procurement under this code appears episodic and bundled with broader lab supply or testing-services solicitations rather than as standalone staining-dish purchases.
