UNSPSC 41171614: Supplement for culture media

In this classification, a Supplement for culture media connotes a device used for customizing the growth conditions of your cells, improving cell viability and growth, and keeping cells healthier longer. US FDA regulates Supplement for culture media under 21 CFR 866.2450 and under FDA product code JSK.

UNSPSC 41171614 Supplement for culture media is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers laboratory analysis services, asbestos and mold testing, and air quality assessment work rather than the literal supply of culture media itself. The Pinellas County School District's recent solicitation for indoor air quality services—including investigation, mitigation, asbestos surveys, demolition surveys, air sampling, and laboratory analysis—demonstrates that this code is being used by school districts to procure integrated environmental testing and diagnostics capabilities. The issuing body is a school district; the scope requires in-house laboratory infrastructure with microbiologists and environmental analysts, same-day through five-day turnaround on results, and comprehensive licensing (Florida Asbestos License, Licensed Mold Assessor certification, Environmental Laboratory Certification under AIHA, and NVLAP certification). Subcontracting is prohibited, and all work must be performed by the contractor's own employees and resources, signaling that school districts are seeking vertically integrated environmental services providers rather than component suppliers.

The Pinellas County School District (Florida) is the only recent issuer identified under this code. The ITB 26CD039 for indoor air quality services closed on November 6, 2026, with an estimated contract value of approximately $100,000 and a term commencing December 16, 2026, through December 15, 2027, plus mutual renewal and unilateral extension options. Contractors must hold current Florida licensure, maintain in-house laboratory capacity within 25 miles of the Walter Pownall Service Center in Largo, and comply with Jessica Lunsford Act Level 2 background clearance requirements for all personnel with school access. The activity pattern suggests limited recent opportunity flow under this code; a single school district procurement does not establish broad geographic or cross-sector demand.
