UNSPSC 41122113: Capillary pipette or tube puller

A mechanism designed to pull thin wall glass capillaries to generate tubes, pipettes or needles suitable for cell culture growth, seeding, in vivo microscopic imaging and/or microinjection studies

UNSPSC 41122113 Capillary pipette or tube puller is a Commodity code with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged with this code cover laboratory reagents, equipment, and consumables — including synthetic viral controls, genomic sequencing reagents, wastewater surveillance testing supplies, forensic evidence collection kits, and microplate sealing equipment — but none explicitly solicit capillary pipette pullers or related glass-pulling instrumentation. The opportunities instead reflect broader laboratory equipment and supplies procurement across public health, environmental testing, and forensic operations, suggesting either misclassification of opportunities under this code or a code whose nominal product category sees little state and local purchasing activity in the current market.

The buying pattern across recent opportunities is dominated by Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (multiple sole-source reagent and service contracts through May 2026), the Texas General Land Office (water sample collection and analysis, IFB 7643-LP, due April 10, 2026), the State of California (forensic laboratory supplies and equipment, multiple RFBs posted March–April 2026), the Texas Department of Transportation (laboratory equipment for Corpus Christi area office, IFB 601320000070474, due April 24, 2026), and the City of Palm Bay, Florida (comprehensive laboratory testing services, ITB 19-ITB-26, closed March 13, 2026). Colorado and California account for the bulk of tagged opportunities, followed by Texas and Florida. No capillary pipette or tube-puller procurement has appeared in recent state and local solicitations; vendors pursuing this code should treat current activity as a watch category pending evidence of renewed demand for glass-pulling instrumentation in state or local laboratory settings.
