UNSPSC 41122413: Laboratory clamps

UNSPSC 41122413 Laboratory clamps is a Commodity-tier code that state and local governments are soliciting under for a narrow range of products—primarily tick pullers and identification cards—rather than traditional laboratory clamping equipment. The City of Philadelphia's August 2026 micro purchase for tick pullers and identification cards, due September 2, 2026, represents the most concrete recent activity under this code, with a contract ceiling of $41,000 over a 365-day term and lowest-responsible-bidder award potentially by line item. Issuing bodies are primarily municipal procurement offices; the Philadelphia opportunity signals city-level health or vector-control departments as the actual using agencies. The code's nominal scope diverges sharply from what is actually being bought, suggesting either a misclassification in state and local systems or that the code serves as a catch-all for small specialized health and safety equipment purchases.

Geographic activity is concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic (Pennsylvania) and Pacific regions based on the recent opportunities, with Philadelphia showing the most recent firm solicitation. Two other opportunities posted under this code—San Mateo Medical Center's June 2026 RFP for surgical power equipment (five-year term, due May 28, 2026) and Sourcewell's May 2026 cooperative RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026)—are substantively unrelated to laboratory clamps or tick pullers and likely reflect tagging mismatches rather than genuine code activity. The Philadelphia tick puller opportunity is the only recent solicitation with material connection to the code's nominal scope; it requires executed Consent and Authorization forms, quote validity of 60 days, and workers' compensation and general liability insurance at $500,000 per occurrence minimum, with FOB destination delivery and electronic-deposit payment terms.
