NIGP 49377: Spectrophotometers, Ultraviolet and Visible

NIGP 49377 Spectrophotometers, Ultraviolet And Visible, an Item code, encompasses analytical instruments used by state and local laboratories to measure light absorption and transmission across ultraviolet and visible wavelengths — core tools in water quality testing, environmental monitoring, clinical diagnostics, and materials analysis. State and local purchasing under this code reflects demand from environmental protection agencies, public health departments, water utilities, community colleges with laboratory programs, and municipal or county testing facilities that need to quantify chemical composition, verify regulatory compliance, or support routine analytical work. Jurisdictions acquire these instruments either as standalone units or as components of broader laboratory automation and quality-assurance upgrades.

The source provided contains no recent state and local contract opportunities under NIGP 49377.
