This work involves environmental remediation and facility diagnostics, not automated microbiology laboratory instruments. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being bought suggests either a coding error in the state procurement system or that this code is not actively used for its intended purpose in current state and local contracting.

The geographic spread is limited to Florida, with Pinellas County School District identified as the issuing body.
