UNSPSC 41122420: Laboratory bottle carrier

Wire, plastic, or rubber slings or racks used to safely transport laboratory bottles containing acids, solvents or caustic liquids

UNSPSC 41122420 Laboratory bottle carrier is a Commodity code. Recent state and local procurements show little direct activity under this specific code; instead, the recent opportunities block captures solicitations for laboratory supplies, reagents, equipment, and testing services across genomic surveillance, forensic analysis, environmental monitoring, and public health operations. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (bottle carriers) and the actual procurements recorded suggests this Commodity code does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns in the available dataset. State and local laboratories—including Colorado's Department of Public Health and Environment, Texas General Land Office, California state agencies, and the City of Palm Bay, Florida—are actively procuring complex diagnostic reagents (IDT oligonucleotides, Qiagen instruments and consumables, Ceres Nanoscience particles, Twist Bioscience synthetic controls), genomic sequencing systems (Standard BioTools, Qiagen dPCR platforms), laboratory testing services (water quality analysis, wastewater surveillance, forensic evidence processing), and associated equipment and consumables. Issuing bodies span state health and environmental departments, state transportation agencies, county public health laboratories, and municipal utilities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Colorado (multiple Department of Public Health and Environment sole-source procurements for reagents and equipment supporting wastewater and genomic surveillance programs), Texas (Texas General Land Office beach water sampling; Texas Department of Transportation laboratory equipment), California (multiple Request for Bids for forensic laboratory consumables, equipment, and supplies), and Florida (City of Palm Bay laboratory testing services). The Texas Beach Watch Program (IFB 7643LP, Texas General Land Office, due April 10, 2026) procures field sampling and laboratory analysis services for Enterococcus bacteria monitoring. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has issued multiple sole-source procurements: Qiagen wastewater surveillance testing reagents and instruments (estimated $3.14 million, due May 28, 2026), Standard BioTools X9 genomics systems and reagents (estimated $3.3 million combined equipment and reagent value, due May 28, 2026), Ceres Nanoscience microbiome reagents (modified estimate $3.5 million, due May 22, 2026), and Integrated DNA Technologies reagents for sequencing and newborn screening (ranging from $375,000 to $1.7 million, dues April 14–16, 2026). The City of Palm Bay issued ITB 19-ITB-26 for laboratory testing services supporting water and wastewater regulatory compliance (bid opening March 17, 2026; Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc. awarded at $80,872 total bid). California continues to solicit through RFBs for forensic laboratory consumables, equipment, and supplies (multiple postings March–April 2026). The code as currently indexed does not appear to capture the scope of what state and local laboratories are actually purchasing.
