UNSPSC 23211106: Ion implanter

A machine which accelerates the ions of a material in an electrical field and impacts them into another solid. This process is used to change the physical, chemical, or electrical properties of the solid.

UNSPSC 23211106 Ion implanter is a Commodity code representing laboratory and research equipment procurement by state and local education institutions. While the code's nominal scope covers ion implantation systems, the most recent state and local activity tagged under it reflects broader research and development equipment sourcing — the Texas Tech University RFP of May 2026 solicits laboratory equipment, microscope equipment, specialty research instruments, testing and measuring systems, centrifuges, chromatography systems, and fume hoods alongside other R&D goods and services. State and local buyers using this code tend to be higher-education institutions with research missions. TTU's solicitation demonstrates that issuers expect bidders to offer measurable value through local representation, pricing discounts, e-commerce capabilities, or enhanced warranties and guarantees, with evaluation weighted heavily toward demonstrated ability to fulfill institutional research needs (50 percent) and compliance with federal and state requirements (15 percent).

Activity under this code appears limited to academic research institutions in Texas, based on the recent record. Texas Tech University issued RFP 2026-1190 as a direct procurement due April 30, 2026, requiring three professional client references, proof of required licenses, and compliance with the university's HUB program — an HUB Subcontracting Plan is mandatory only if the contract exceeds $100,000 over its full term. Proposers must carry Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), statutory Workers' Compensation, and Automobile Liability ($1,000,000), with TTU named as additional insured, and meet comprehensive IT security standards including NIST 800-53 controls, 99.99% uptime, WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility, and TX-RAMP compliance. Contract pricing holds firm for twenty-four months, with potential increases not exceeding three percent annually thereafter; the initial term runs four years with up to four automatic one-year renewals unless either party provides sixty days' non-renewal notice. Invoices are paid net thirty days via ACH or single-use account card against valid purchase orders, with no award values specified in the solicitation.
