UNSPSC 41123300: General laboratory storage containers and cabinets

UNSPSC 41123300 General laboratory storage containers and cabinets, a Class code, encompasses storage cabinets, shelving, and containment systems purchased by state and local health departments, school districts, housing authorities, and municipal procurement offices. Recent solicitations show a mix of standalone cabinet purchases and broader procurements where storage containers appear as line items within larger furniture or laboratory-supplies bundles. State and local agencies soliciting under this code include health departments conducting certified water-quality testing, school districts furnishing classrooms and administrative spaces, independent school districts restocking furniture and supplies on annual cycles, and housing authorities managing modernization projects across public properties. The code also appears in cooperative purchasing arrangements where regional purchasing cooperatives bundle classroom furniture and supplies into multi-year catalog-discount contracts available to member jurisdictions.

Recent activity spans Florida, Texas, Oregon, and Pennsylvania. The Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory has posted two single-source procurements for laboratory storage containers and cabinets as components of Colilert and Enterolert testing-supply packages (SS15309 due March 27, 2026 and SS15284 due March 25, 2026, with contract value $75,000 and $204,771.60 respectively, amended to one-year term). Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas, issued IFB 2026-051 for administrative, library, and miscellaneous furniture including storage units (due April 8, 2026), replacing an expiring 2024 contract and requiring all incumbent vendors to recompete. Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Kilgore, Texas, solicited an RFP for a catalog-discount model on classroom furniture and supplies with estimated total expenditures of $21,568,516 over two years (due May 26, 2026). The Housing Authority of Clackamas County in Oregon City, Oregon, bid cabinet and countertop replacement on Project #26001 (due June 3, 2026 under prevailing wage and Davis-Bacon standards). The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ for a steel storage cabinet (due July 6, 2026).
