UNSPSC 41171600: Microbiology devices

In this classification, these entries connote the devices used in association with microbiological laboratory procedures.

UNSPSC 41171600 Microbiology devices is a Class code covering laboratory equipment and supplies used for microbial identification, culture, and analysis in public health, clinical, educational, and environmental testing contexts. State and local governments procure microbiology devices primarily through public health departments, clinical laboratories operated by county or municipal health systems, state epidemiology and disease surveillance programs, and school district science facilities. The work includes purchase of petri dishes, culture media, incubators, microscopy equipment, bacterial identification systems, and related consumables and instrumentation for routine diagnostic work, outbreak investigation, and environmental sampling.

The source contains no recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code as of July 2026. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, IFBs, or ITBs to reference, the geographic spread and current buying patterns cannot be determined from available data. Firms tracking this code should monitor public health procurement channels—particularly state health departments and large municipal or county laboratory systems—for seasonal demand signals tied to disease surveillance cycles and facility upgrades, but no active solicitation activity is evident in the current opportunity stream.
