UNSPSC 41122201: Glass crucibles

UNSPSC 41122201 Glass crucibles is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. The few solicitations on file do not actually procure glass crucibles; instead, they involve analytical laboratory equipment (mass spectrometers), laboratory testing services (water and wastewater analysis), and specialized laboratory consumables (polypropylene vials, cartridges, and mass spectrometry components for PFAS testing). The mismatch suggests either tagging error in the source data or that state and local procurement offices are using this code as a catch-all for laboratory-adjacent goods. None of the opportunities represent actual demand for glass crucibles in the state and local market.

Activity under this code remains sparse and geographically scattered across Texas, Florida, and Arizona with no repeat buyers or sustained procurement patterns. Recent opportunities include Brazoria County, Texas soliciting a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for its Sheriff's Office Crime Lab via RFP #26-48 with a May 12, 2026 deadline and an estimated budget of $300,000; the City of Palm Bay, Florida issuing ITB 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services across municipal water and wastewater facilities with a March 17, 2026 deadline (now closed, with three bids received); and the City of Tucson, Arizona issuing IFB 240045 for Waters Technologies brand laboratory consumables for PFAS and dioxane analysis. This code shows little reliable recent activity and poor relevance to actual state and local procurement for glass crucibles.
