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 is a Commodity code that captures laboratory storage equipment and consumables procured by state health and environmental agencies for water quality testing, pathogen surveillance, and analytical chemistry operations. State and local governments use this code to buy laboratory reagents, consumables, chemicals, and related analytical supplies—not storage racks in isolation, but the full suite of materials required to operate diagnostic and testing infrastructure. The issuing bodies are primarily state health departments, environmental agencies, and municipal water utilities conducting compliance testing and disease surveillance. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, City of Arlington water services, and Texas Department of Transportation are the repeat buyers in the recent opportunity set, with state agencies dominating the volume. These are specialized procurements requiring vendor qualification (NELAP accreditation, OSHA compliance, specialized certifications) and often structured as sole-source or requirements contracts with renewal options rather than one-time purchases.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Colorado, with scattered municipal activity in water quality and laboratory services. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHS0018026) posted an IFB on September 24, 2026, for standards, consumables, and instrument parts—GC columns, septa, UHPLC columns, protective gloves, industrial wipes, and detector components—for the Safe Drinking Water Act compliance testing, with bids due October 9, 2026, and historical annual spend between $50,000 and $75,000. The City of Arlington, Texas (270018) solicited an annual requirements contract on August 19, 2026, for laboratory supplies and chemicals to serve its Laboratory Services, two water treatment plants, and Water Resources Division, with bids due September 17, 2026. The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has posted multiple sole-source procurements since May 2026 for specialized reagents and service agreements—Qiagen wastewater surveillance testing reagents ($3.14 million estimated value), Standard BioTools genomic sequencing reagents ($2.3 million plus $1 million in additional reagent costs), and Ceres Nanosciences microbiome particles ($3.5 million estimated value). South Dakota posted a laboratory consumables, reagents, and chemicals solicitation (RFBIS27200163) on September 10, 2026, due September 25, 2026, though the RFB packet details were unavailable. Mississippi issued a sole-source notice on August 6, 2026, for 200 LeadSmart3 Standard Kits from EHS Lab for lead testing. These opportunities show steady state-level demand for compliance and surveillance testing inputs, with contract values ranging from five figures for municipal requirements to multi-million-dollar state laboratory agreements.
