UNSPSC 41122419: Laboratory scoop

Scoop used within the laboratory for dispensing solid materials

UNSPSC 41122419 Laboratory scoop (Commodity) does not match the work actually being solicited in recent state and local opportunities. The code nominally describes a handheld laboratory scoop—a simple consumable measuring tool—but the available procurement records show no demand for scoops themselves. Instead, state and local buyers are procuring laboratory reagents, specialized testing consumables, lab information management systems, forensic evidence collection kits, and laboratory equipment such as microplate sealers, sieve shakers, and vacuum manifolds. The few opportunities that reference sample collection (Texas General Land Office's Beach Watch water sampling and analysis, City of Palm Bay's laboratory testing services) involve field sampling protocols and analytical testing services, not scoops or related hand tools. California's forensic laboratory consumables procurement (RFB 26200748-1 and related solicitations) encompasses personal protective equipment, chemical reagents, and safety supplies, but no scoop-category items appear in the documented specifications.

The issuing bodies active in laboratory procurement include state departments (Texas General Land Office, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Texas Department of Transportation, California, Santa Clara County), municipalities (City of Palm Bay, Florida), and a county health laboratory (Santa Clara). Geographic activity centers on Colorado (five sole-source reagent and equipment procurements in April and May 2026), California (five forensic and analytical lab equipment solicitations in February through April 2026), and Texas (two procurements in April and June 2026). The recent opportunities span reagent procurement (Qiagen, Standard BioTools, Integrated DNA Technologies, Twist Bioscience, Ceres Nanosciences), laboratory testing services, forensic laboratory supplies, and equipment (sieve shakers, vacuum manifolds, microplate sealers). No procurements for laboratory scoops or similar hand-measuring tools appear in the available records, suggesting minimal or no current state and local demand under this code.
