UNSPSC 41122413: Laboratory clamps

UNSPSC 41122413 Laboratory clamps is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not reflect laboratory-clamp procurement. Instead, the two recent solicitations tagged with this code seek surgical power equipment and law enforcement equipment, neither of which aligns with the nominal scope of laboratory clamps. San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC), a public hospital system in California, issued an RFP for surgical power instruments to replace obsolete equipment across its acute-care hospital and clinic network, with a five-year contract term and a proposal submission deadline of May 28, 2026. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, issued an RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating county and city jurisdictions across Washington state and beyond, with proposals due June 16, 2026. The code shows a significant tagging misalignment — neither procurement centers on laboratory clamps or related fastening hardware.

The geographic activity spans California and the Upper Midwest cooperative purchasing corridor. SMMC's opportunity targets vendors with five years of manufacturing, sales, or leasing experience for surgical power equipment in California, subject to San Mateo County's local-business preference ordinance (five percent additional points for local businesses, plus three percent for small businesses or eight percent for micro businesses). Sourcewell's cooperative procurement reaches Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington state, along with thousands of other governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments throughout the United States and Canada. Given the disconnect between the code's name and the actual solicitations, the code appears to carry minimal relevant recent activity for laboratory-clamp suppliers pursuing state and local government business.
