UNSPSC 41191505: Device for sealing microsections

In this classification, a device for sealing microsections is an automated instrument used to seal stained cells and microsections for histological and cytological examination. US FDA regulates Device for sealing microsections under 21 CFR 864.34 and under FDA product code KIM.

UNSPSC 41191505 Device for sealing microsections, a Commodity code, shows no relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The eight opportunities posted between February and July 2026 under this code span laboratory testing services, laboratory equipment repair and maintenance, spectrophotometer replacement, transformer oil testing, landscape architectural services, technical support for analytical instruments, EV charger maintenance, construction materials testing, lab information management systems, electric meter test boards, water well drilling, fatigue testing equipment, and lock-in amplifiers — none of which involve devices for sealing microsections. The code appears to be a mismatch with actual procurement needs in the dataset, suggesting either misclassification at the issuing-body level or that state and local demand for microsection sealing devices does not surface in publicly posted solicitations at scale.

The issuing bodies represented span a diverse mix including county governments (Marion County, Oregon; Harris County, Texas; Broward County, Florida; Santa Clara County, California), municipal utilities (Lubbock Power & Light, City of Tampa, City of Ocala Electric Utility, City of Palm Bay), state health agencies (Texas Department of State Health Services), transit authorities (Broward County Transportation Department), universities (Lamar University, Texas A&M University System), and local health departments (City of Orlando Water Reclamation Enterprises, County of Santa Clara Public Health Lab). Activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and California, with secondary activity in Oregon and Connecticut. No recent opportunities show procurement of microsection sealing devices or products that fit the code's nominal scope. Given the categorical mismatch, this code is not a productive pursuit vector under current state and local market conditions.
