UNSPSC 85121812: Laboratory measurement tool rental service

Renting of measurement tools used in laboratories such as the densimeter, which is used to determine the relative density of fluids.

UNSPSC 85121812 Laboratory measurement tool rental service is a Commodity code capturing leasing and maintenance of specialized diagnostic and analytical instruments used in clinical and public health laboratories. State and local governments procure under this code for ongoing access to analyzers, assays, and supporting consumables—including preventative maintenance, on-site repairs, spare parts, training, and emergency support—rather than outright purchase. The recent opportunities show state health agencies and county public health laboratories as the primary issuing bodies, soliciting long-term lease agreements that bundle equipment, service, supplies, and technical support into single contracts.

The geographic spread covers Texas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and California based on recent postings. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission is soliciting a lease for a Bio Rad D10 Hemoglobin A1C analyzer for Austin State Hospital's regional clinical lab (RFP HHS0017429, due August 5, 2026), with historical spend of $124,530 over a four-year baseline and a proposed contract term of September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2030 plus one optional year. The Georgia Department of Public Health issued an eRFP for Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV viral load assays and equipment rental (40500DPH0000264, due May 1, 2026). Hillsborough County, Florida posted a sole-source procurement intent for deionized water system maintenance and replacement components (SS2600330, due July 14, 2026), estimated at $76,530 over two years, though this opportunity appears tangentially related to the code's scope. The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Finance and Administration Cabinet sought lab coat and hand towel rental services on behalf of the Department for Public Health Laboratory (RFB75826000005421, due May 7, 2026), with Kentucky-resident and disability-enterprise preferences applied. Santa Clara County issued a Request for Information for a lab information management system replacement (RFITSSFY260686, due April 22, 2026), which does not directly align with equipment rental but reflects broader laboratory modernization activity in the region.
