UNSPSC 41121814: Laboratory lids or covers or coverslips

These are covers and lids for beakers, flasks, graduated cylinders, etc.

UNSPSC 41121814 Laboratory lids or covers or coverslips is a Commodity code that captures consumable laboratory supplies—including lids, covers, and coverslips—required for validated analytical and laboratory processes across water quality testing, wastewater analysis, and environmental monitoring. Recent state and local procurements under this code reflect demand from municipal water and wastewater utilities, environmental testing labs, and state procurement offices managing laboratory operations. The work encompasses both direct purchases of specialized consumables from manufacturers and indirect acquisition through comprehensive laboratory testing service contracts that bundle supplies, equipment, and professional analysis. Issuing bodies include state procurement offices, city utilities departments, and municipal environmental compliance programs that rely on certified analytical laboratories.

Oregon State Procurement Office and the City of Palm Bay, Florida represent the recent activity. Oregon issued a Special Procurement Notice (S2570000017179, posted June 9, 2026, protest period closing June 16, 2026) for direct purchase of Revvity Janus consumable supplies from the manufacturer under sole-source justification, citing unavailability through statewide price agreements and manufacturer-only sales terms. The City of Palm Bay's Invitation to Bid 19ITB26 (posted April 13, 2026, with a March 13, 2026 response deadline) for laboratory testing services across water and wastewater facilities encompassed 188 line items including supplies and consumables as part of unit-priced analytical work, with three bids received ranging from $80,872 to $107,946 annually. These opportunities indicate activity concentrated in the Southeast and Pacific Northwest, with demand driven by EPA and state environmental protection agency compliance requirements. The code appears lightly represented in recent state and local solicitations overall; procurement tends toward bundled service contracts or sole-source consumable purchases rather than standalone competitive bids for laboratory supplies.
