UNSPSC 41123304: Cryogenic storage boxes

UNSPSC 41123304 Cryogenic storage boxes is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The three most recent opportunities posted under or near this code involve classroom furniture and supplies, offender specimen collection and drug testing services, and law enforcement equipment — none of which represent cryogenic storage applications. State and local governments do procure specialized storage and laboratory equipment through cooperative purchasing vehicles and regional cooperative frameworks, but the recent solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect cryogenic-specific demand. The issuing bodies in the recent record span regional purchasing cooperatives (Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative in Texas), county corrections departments (Denton County Community Supervision and Corrections Department), and multi-state cooperative procurement authorities (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties and nationwide participating entities), indicating that when state and local buyers do pursue laboratory or specialized storage equipment, they often route through cooperative purchasing channels rather than individual agency RFPs.

Geographic activity in the recent record centers on Texas and Washington, with Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment procurement extending nationally across multiple states and Canadian jurisdictions. The most substantial opportunity by dollar volume is Region 7 Purchasing Cooperative's catalog discount bid for classroom furniture and supplies (CLSF2628), with an estimated total expenditure of $21,568,516 over a two-year contract term (June 18, 2026 through June 18, 2028) and an RFP response deadline of May 26, 2026. Denton County's offender specimen collection and drug testing RFP (RFP262911) closed June 11, 2026, and Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP (#061626) closed June 16, 2026. The mismatch between the cryogenic storage code and the actual scope of these recent opportunities suggests the code may be underutilized in current state and local markets or that buyers are tagging related laboratory or storage procurements to different codes.
