UNSPSC 41122605: Microscope immersion oil

UNSPSC 41122605 Microscope immersion oil is a Commodity code that sees no recent state and local procurement activity directly aligned with its nominal scope. The four most-recent opportunities tagged under this code—a public health lab information management system replacement (Santa Clara County RFI), an atomic force microscope capital equipment acquisition (University of Wisconsin-Madison RFB), a broader microscopes and accessories procurement with maintenance (University of Wisconsin-Madison RFB), and microscope operator training services (Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners RFQ)—involve equipment purchase, system software, and training delivery rather than consumable microscope immersion oil. The mismatch suggests either tagging misalignment in the state and local procurement systems or that immersion oil is bundled as an ancillary item within larger microscopy procurements rather than solicited as a standalone line item.

The geographic spread of recent activity spans Wisconsin (University of Wisconsin-Madison, two separate microscopy-related RFBs posted March 2026), Florida (Hillsborough County training procurement posted February 2026), and California (Santa Clara County lab IT solution RFI posted April 2026). Issuing bodies include a major state research university, a county public health authority, and a county water resources department. Unless immersion oil is explicitly included as a component in the broader equipment or training contracts listed above, this code shows minimal recent direct procurement activity suitable for vendors specializing in microscope consumables and supplies.
