UNSPSC 41151500: Clinical laboratory colorimetric standards

In this classification, these entries connote the reagents used in association with clinical colorimteric laboratory procedures.

UNSPSC 41151500 Clinical laboratory colorimetric standards is a Class code that covers laboratory testing services, equipment repair and maintenance, and specialized measurement instruments used by state and local health, environmental, and utility agencies. Recent solicitations under this code show that state and local governments are purchasing phlebotomy and specimen collection services, preventive maintenance and technical support for laboratory equipment such as sterilizers and washers, replacement spectrophotometers for waste-to-energy facilities, insulating oil testing services for electrical utilities, laboratory information management systems, and meter test boards for electric utilities. The issuing bodies span county health departments, state health agencies, municipal electric and water utilities, transit authorities, and regional laboratories, with no single repeat buyer dominating recent activity. Work varies from service-based (phlebotomist draws, courier pickup of specimens, oil analysis) to capital equipment procurement (spectrophotometers, test boards) to managed services with performance standards and technical certifications.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Texas, Florida, and Oregon, with recent opportunities posted by Marion County Oregon, the Texas Department of State Health Services, the City of Tampa, Lubbock Power & Light, Broward County Transportation Department, the City of Ocala, and the County of Santa Clara. Marion County, Oregon issued an ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy due July 24, 2026; the Texas Department of State Health Services sought annual equipment repair and maintenance for laboratory sterilizers and washers under IFB HHS0017421 with bids due July 6, 2026; and Lubbock Power & Light issued an RFP for annual insulating oil testing laboratory services for electric substations with proposals due July 22, 2026. The City of Tampa sought quotes for a replacement spectrophotometer on RFQ 26-P-00372 (due date already passed, June 12, 2026). Contracts typically run one to three years with optional renewals, and vendors frequently face OEM certification, insurance, and technical-support-availability requirements. Evaluation criteria weight technical qualifications and ability to perform alongside price, reflecting the specialized nature of laboratory work.
