UNSPSC 41151724: Lead test system

In this classification, a Lead test system is a device intended to measure Lead for clinical toxicology purposes. US FDA regulates Lead test system under 21 CFR 862.3550 and under FDA product code DOF

UNSPSC 41151724 Lead test system is a Commodity code that appears in state and local procurement records with minimal alignment to the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not represent lead-testing equipment or services; instead, the block contains diverse research instrumentation acquisitions—including unmanned aerial vehicles, microscopes, spectrometers, additively manufactured systems, X-ray diffraction equipment, digital mechanical analyzers, and acoustic telemetry receivers—along with ancillary laboratory supplies, service contracts, and materials. The sole-source and sealed-bid notices issued by Mississippi State University, the University of Mississippi, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Texas State University, Texas A&M University System, Midwestern State University, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, and other public bodies are predominantly driven by proprietary component requirements, specialized research applications, or exclusive equipment compatibility rather than by a unified commodity category. The mismatch between the code designation and actual procurement activity suggests either cataloging drift in the source system or that this code's definition does not reflect contemporary state and local buying patterns.

Mississippi State University dominates the recent activity, filing 16 sole-source procurement notices across a two-month window (late June through mid-October 2026), with response deadlines clustered between late July and late October 2026. Universities in Wisconsin, Texas, and Illinois, along with state environmental and health agencies, round out the issuer mix. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Mississippi, with secondary activity in Texas, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Oregon. Representative recent solicitations include Mississippi State University's sole-source notice for a Redwire Stalker Block 40 UAV (posted October 9, 2026, objections due October 23, 2026, estimated cost $2.086 million) and a competitive IFB from the University of Southern Mississippi for a Dynamic Mechanical Analyzer with sealed-bid closing October 22, 2026. No recent activity suggests meaningful pursuit opportunity under this code; the procurement signal is fragmented across unrelated equipment categories, response deadlines have largely passed or are imminent, and the overwhelming majority of opportunities are restricted sole-source acquisitions with objection-only entry points rather than open competitive bids or RFPs.
