UNSPSC 41122414: Laboratory spoon

Spoons for general laboratory material dispersal.

UNSPSC 41122414 Laboratory spoon is a Commodity code representing basic laboratory hand tools and consumables that state and local governments procure for water quality testing, environmental analysis, and chemical laboratory operations. Recent solicitations show state health agencies, environmental departments, and municipal water utilities buying laboratory consumables and reagents—including analytical columns, protective equipment, detector components, and specialized testing supplies—alongside hand tools and small equipment for field and bench analysis. The code captures routine procurement of expendable laboratory materials used across environmental compliance testing, drinking water analysis, and public health surveillance operations.

State and local activity under this code concentrates in Texas and Colorado, with recent solicitations from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission, City of Arlington, Texas General Land Office, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, and Texas Department of Transportation. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0018026) issued an IFB on September 24, 2026, for standards, consumables, and instrument parts—GC columns, septa, liners, UHPLC columns, protective gloves, industrial wipes, and detector components—used by the state's Organic Chemistry Group for drinking water analysis under the Safe Drinking Water Act, with bids due October 9, 2026; the historical fiscal year 2026 value for that contract was between $50,000 and $75,000. The City of Arlington, Texas (Solicitation 270018) posted an annual requirements contract on August 19, 2026, for laboratory supplies and chemicals serving the city's Laboratory Services, two water treatment plants, and Water Resources Services Division, with responses due September 17, 2026. Colorado's Department of Public Health and Environment has conducted multiple sole-source procurements for specialized reagents and analytical equipment from vendors including Qiagen, Standard BioTools, Ceres Nanosciences, and Twist Bioscience in support of wastewater surveillance and genomic testing programs. A South Dakota laboratory consumables solicitation (RFBIS27200163) posted September 10, 2026, though detailed scope information is not available in the source materials.
