UNSPSC 41122810: Benchtop reagent storage rack

Racks for the storage and organization of reagent bottles utilized at the workbench

UNSPSC 41122810 Benchtop reagent storage rack (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are procuring under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this code center on laboratory reagents, testing services, and analytical equipment—not benchtop storage hardware. Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, the Texas General Land Office, the Texas Department of Transportation, the City of Palm Bay, Florida, the State of California, and the County of Santa Clara have all tagged procurements to this code, but the tagged work involves wastewater surveillance reagents (Qiagen, Standard BioTools, Ceres Nanosciences, Twist Bioscience, Integrated DNA Technologies products), newborn screening reagents, genomic sequencing reagents, water and wastewater laboratory testing services, forensic evidence collection supplies, and lab information management systems. None of these align with benchtop storage racks. The mismatch appears systematic—the code name references physical storage equipment, but procurement offices are using it for consumable reagent procurement and laboratory services at the state public health and transportation agency level.

The geographic concentration is heavy in Colorado and Texas, with additional activity in California and Florida. Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment appears repeatedly across May and April 2026 sole-source procurements for reagents and service agreements valued between $375,000 and $3.5 million over multi-year terms. Texas General Land Office issued an IFB for water sample collection and analysis (due April 10, 2026); Texas Department of Transportation issued an IFB for laboratory equipment and accessories in Corpus Christi (due April 24, 2026). California State issued multiple RFBs for forensic laboratory supplies, microplate sealers, and equipment (March–April 2026). The code shows material procurement volume but no apparent alignment between the assigned taxonomy and the actual goods and services being bought. Before pursuing opportunities under this code, clarify the tagging practice with the issuing agency—the code itself does not govern the current market activity.
