UNSPSC 41190000: Pathology instrumentation and accessories

In this classification these entries connote instrumentation and accessories used in pathological based laboratory procedures.

UNSPSC 41190000 Pathology instrumentation and accessories (Family) comprises laboratory testing services, specimen collection and courier logistics, equipment repair and maintenance for laboratory instruments, and diagnostic analyzer systems for public health and utility applications across state health departments, county jails and health authorities, municipal water and electric utilities, and special-purpose districts. Recent solicitations include Marion County, Oregon's ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy for adults in custody (due July 24, 2026), the Texas Department of State Health Services' IFB for preventive maintenance and repair of laboratory sterilization and washing equipment at the South Texas Laboratory in Harlingen with annual value ranges of $25,050 to $40,000 (due July 6, 2026), the City of Tampa's RFQ for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer to replace an existing unit at the McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility (due June 12, 2026), and Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for annual insulating oil testing and laboratory services across approximately twenty substations with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and LIMS integration required (due July 22, 2026).

The code shows activity across multiple issuing-body types: state health departments and agencies, county governments and jails, municipal utilities and water authorities, and transit authorities. Geographic concentration appears in Texas (DSHS and Lubbock Power & Light), Florida (City of Tampa, City of Orlando), and Oregon (Marion County), with additional recent opportunities in Connecticut (materials testing for fire station construction) and California (Santa Clara County's LIMS replacement RFI posted April 7, 2026). County of Santa Clara's procurement for a modern, scalable public health laboratory information management system reflects broader state and local investment in LIMS modernization. The code's scope spans both commodity procurement (spectrophotometers, test boards, analyzers) and service delivery (repair, maintenance, testing workflows), with evaluation criteria often weighted toward technical capability and regulatory compliance (ISO/IEC 17025, OEM certification, utility-specific data integration) alongside price. Contract terms typically run one to three years with optional renewals; insurance and set-aside compliance (FTA DBE requirements noted in one transit authority solicitation) are routine requirements.
