UNSPSC 41191600: Pathology accessories

In this classification, these entries connote accessories used in association with pathological laboratory procedures.

UNSPSC 41191600 Pathology accessories, a Class code, encompasses laboratory testing services, specimen collection and courier logistics, and field maintenance and repair of diagnostic equipment used by state and local health agencies, water utilities, and public institutions. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying phlebotomy and specimen-collection labor bundled with testing-services contracts; repair and preventive maintenance for sterilization and water-analysis equipment; and replacement or upgrade of specialized diagnostic instruments such as spectrophotometers and meter test boards. The mix of issuing bodies includes county health systems (Marion County, Oregon), state health departments (Texas Department of State Health Services), municipal utilities (City of Tampa, Lubbock Power & Light, City of Ocala), public health agencies (County of Santa Clara), and public institutions (Broward County Transportation Department, Lamar University). Marion County and the Texas Department of State Health Services appear in the recent block, with Texas DSHS seeking ongoing repair contracts for laboratory sterilization and washing equipment at a single facility.

Activity spans Texas, Oregon, Florida, and Connecticut, with recent opportunities posted from June through July 2026. Representative solicitations include Marion County, Oregon's ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy for custody populations (due July 24, 2026), the Texas Department of State Health Services' IFB for annual repair and maintenance of Lancer and Getinge sterilization and washing equipment at the South Texas Laboratory in Harlingen (due July 6, 2026; historical contract value $25,050 to $40,000 annually), the City of Tampa's RFQ for a Heck DR4900 spectrophotometer replacement at McKay Bay Waste to Energy (quote due June 12, 2026), and Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for insulating oil testing laboratory services supporting approximately 150 pieces of electrical equipment across 20 substations (proposals due July 22, 2026). Lubbock and similar utility-sector solicitations require ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and multi-year service commitments with optional renewal periods; Texas DSHS requires OEM certification and eight years of documented experience. Insurance, bonding, and federal compliance obligations (FTA requirements for transit authorities, Buy America for federal funding) appear across most opportunities.
