UNSPSC 41122414: Laboratory spoon

Spoons for general laboratory material dispersal.

UNSPSC 41122414 Laboratory spoon, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities posted since February 2026 reflect laboratory reagents, equipment, consumables, and testing services — pipette tips, thermal sealers, DNA sequencing reagents, wastewater surveillance testing kits, forensic evidence collection supplies, and analytical laboratory services — but include no solicitations for laboratory spoons or hand-held laboratory utensils. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual buying activity suggests either misclassification in the source data or that laboratory spoon procurement occurs outside the represented opportunity set.

The issuing bodies tagged under this code span state agencies (Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Texas General Land Office, Texas Department of Transportation, California Procurement Division) and municipal governments (City of Palm Bay, Florida; County of Santa Clara, California), with Colorado and California accounting for the majority of recent postings. Recent competitive opportunities include the City of Palm Bay's laboratory testing services IFB (188 line items across water, wastewater, and pretreatment programs; ITB 19-ITB-26, due March 17, 2026); Texas General Land Office's beach water-quality monitoring IFB (1,421 samples annually; IFB 7643-LP, due April 10, 2026); and California's forensic laboratory consumables RFBs (multiple postings March–April 2026). Colorado's activity centers on sole-source reagent and equipment agreements with specialized vendors (Qiagen, Standard BioTools, Ceres Nanosciences, Twist Bioscience, Integrated DNA Technologies) for genomic surveillance and newborn screening programs, valued $1.4 million to $3.5 million each. No opportunities explicitly for laboratory spoons appear in the dataset.
