UNSPSC 41171613: Automated medium dispensing and stacking device

In this classification, a Automated medium dispensing and stacking device connotes a device used for medical purposes to dispense a microbiological culture medium into petri dishes and then mechanically stack the petri dishes. US FDA regulates Automated medium dispensing and stacking device under 21 CFR 866.2440 and under FDA product code JTB.

UNSPSC 41171613 Automated medium dispensing and stacking device is a Commodity code that bears little relation to the state and local procurement activity currently tagged to it. The recent opportunity on file—Pinellas County School District's ITB 26-CD-039 for Indoor Air Quality Services—solicits asbestos and mold testing, laboratory analysis, and mitigation consulting, not automated dispensing or stacking equipment. The scope includes investigation services, air sampling, and laboratory reporting with turnaround times ranging from immediate to five days, along with requirements for in-house microbiological analysis capability and Florida-licensed environmental professionals. No other recent opportunities are present in the source.

Pinellas County School District issued the Indoor Air Quality Services ITB with a response deadline of November 6, 2026, and a mandatory pre-bid on October 28, 2026, at the Walter Pownall Service Center in Largo, Florida. The estimated contract value is approximately $100,000 for the initial one-year term commencing December 16, 2026, with renewal options available. Bidders must hold Florida asbestos and mold licenses, environmental laboratory certification, and NVLAP accreditation; subcontracting is prohibited and all work must be performed in-house. The code shows minimal alignment with the automated dispensing and stacking equipment taxonomy and warrants investigation as a tagging error or categorical misclassification within the district's procurement system.
