UNSPSC 41122800: Laboratory stands and racks and trays

UNSPSC 41122800 Laboratory stands and racks and trays is a Class code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, shows little activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span first aid supplies for school districts, occupational medical surveillance for state transportation agencies, miscellaneous medical and sensory supplies for state residential facilities, aquatic park infrastructure, law enforcement equipment through cooperative purchasing, and veterinary pharmaceuticals for county animal shelters. None of these solicitations involves laboratory stands, racks, or trays as typically defined. The code appears to be misapplied across a range of medical, equipment, and facility-related procurements, suggesting either inconsistent tagging by issuing bodies or that the code's scope in state and local practice diverges materially from its UNSPSC classification.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Pinellas County Schools, Florida), state transportation agencies (Washington State Department of Transportation), state health and human services departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission), county governments (Reeves County, Texas; Williamson County, Texas), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). Recent opportunities span Florida, Washington, Texas, and multi-state cooperative frameworks, with no concentration in a single jurisdiction or region. Representative recent solicitations include the School Board of Pinellas County's ITB for first aid supplies (due November 20, 2025, estimated annual value $130,000), the Washington State Department of Transportation's RFP for occupational medical surveillance services (due October 9, 2026), the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's IFB for miscellaneous medical supplies for the Denton State Supported Living Center (due August 19, 2026, historical annual value $50,000), and Sourcewell's RFP for law enforcement equipment on behalf of multiple participating counties (due June 16, 2026). The code does not demonstrate robust recent activity in its stated commodity category.
