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 (Commodity) encompasses laboratory consumables, reagents, equipment components, and supplies that state and local health departments, environmental agencies, and municipal water utilities purchase for field sampling, water quality testing, wastewater surveillance, and pathogen detection operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring laboratory bottle carriers as part of broader consumables bundles for drinking water analysis, wastewater surveillance testing, and microbial monitoring programs — often bundled with columns, septa, protective equipment, detector components, and proprietary reagent systems from vendors like Qiagen, Standard BioTools, Ceres Nanoscience, and Twist Bioscience. The issuing bodies span state health and environmental departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment), state transportation agencies (Texas Department of Transportation), municipal water utilities (City of Arlington), and state general land offices managing environmental monitoring programs (Texas General Land Office).

Geographic activity centers in Texas and Colorado, with recent competitive and sole-source solicitations posted across Texas (HHSC drinking water consumables, City of Arlington laboratory supplies contract, TxDOT equipment procurement, Texas Beach Watch sample collection and analysis), Colorado (CDPHE wastewater surveillance reagents and genomic sequencing supplies), and California (Agilent vacuum manifold and trap assemblies). The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) IFB HHS0018026 for standards, consumables, and instrument parts (due October 9, 2026) includes bottle carriers and related glassware and equipment for Safe Drinking Water Act compliance testing, with fiscal year 2026 historical value between $50,000 and $75,000 and initial term through August 31, 2027. The City of Arlington RFB 270018 (due September 17, 2026) establishes an annual requirements contract for laboratory supplies and chemicals serving the city's laboratory services, two water treatment plants, and Water Resources Services Division. Colorado CDPHE's May 2026 sole-source procurements for Qiagen wastewater surveillance reagents, Standard BioTools genomic sequencing systems, Ceres Nanoscience microbiome particles, and Twist Bioscience synthetic viral controls total $8.14 million across specialized analytical and surveillance programs, signaling sustained investment in laboratory infrastructure for public health surveillance and environmental monitoring.
