UNSPSC 41122807: Dissecting trays

UNSPSC 41122807 Dissecting trays (Commodity) covers laboratory consumables and supplies procured by state and local health departments, environmental agencies, and municipal utilities for water quality testing, wastewater surveillance, and clinical laboratory operations. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers sourcing not only dissecting trays but a broader range of lab consumables including reagents, instrument parts, columns, septa, protective equipment, and analytical supplies used in drinking water compliance testing, microbial analysis, and genomic sequencing. The mix of issuing bodies includes state health and environmental departments (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, Mississippi state government), municipal utilities (City of Arlington, Texas), state transportation departments (Texas Department of Transportation), and coastal resource agencies (Texas General Land Office). The code appears to sit within procurement flows for state laboratory infrastructure renewal and ongoing operational supply replenishment rather than standalone dissecting-tray purchases.

Recent opportunities concentrate in Texas and Colorado, with secondary activity in South Dakota, California, and Mississippi. Representative solicitations include the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0018026, IFB, due October 9, 2026) for standards, consumables, and instrument parts used in drinking water analysis, with historical fiscal 2026 spend of $50,000 to $75,000 and contract term through August 2027 plus one optional extension; the City of Arlington, Texas (270018, due September 17, 2026) for laboratory supplies and chemicals serving the city laboratory, water treatment plants, and water resources division; and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's series of sole-source procurements (May 2026) for specialized reagents and equipment including Qiagen wastewater surveillance testing ($3.14 million estimated value), Standard BioTools genomic sequencing systems ($2.3 million plus $1 million in reagents), and Twist Bioscience synthetic viral controls ($2.3 million over four years). Competitive activity is limited; most recent higher-value opportunities are sole-source renewals for proprietary equipment and reagent platforms tied to federal grant compliance or state laboratory accreditation requirements.
