UNSPSC 41101804: Electroscopes

UNSPSC 41101804 Electroscopes is a Commodity code, but state and local governments show little relevant procurement activity under it. The recent opportunities posted under this code include Field Programmable Gate Arrays, high-power device analyzers, high-power probestations, lock-in amplifiers, electromagnetic pumps, and lab information management systems—none of which are electroscopes or closely related measuring instruments. The mismatch suggests either miscoding in state and local procurement systems or that the code is used as a catch-all for specialized laboratory and testing equipment that does not fit cleanly into narrower categories. When issuing bodies do tag opportunities under this code, they are sourcing test and measurement equipment for higher-education and research applications.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Wisconsin. Texas A&M University (ITB for a lock-in amplifier posted February 26, 2026, due the same day via AggieBid), Texas State University (RFPs for a high-power device analyzer and high-power probestation both posted February 27, 2026, due the same day via TXST MarketPlace), and the University of Wisconsin–Madison (RFB for an electromagnetic pump posted February 5, 2026, due February 26, 2026) are the repeat buyers. Texas A&M also issued an ITB for Field Programmable Gate Arrays posted June 3, 2026, due the same day through AggieBid. The vast majority of recent solicitations are from university procurement offices sourcing specialized laboratory and research equipment with compressed bid-response windows—often same-day or next-day closes. School districts and local health departments (Klein ISD in Harris County, Texas, posted an RFP for instructional resources April 17, 2026, due June 5, 2026; Santa Clara County posted an RFI for a lab information management system April 7, 2026, due April 22, 2026) account for secondary activity. The code shows no current activity outside higher education, health, and school procurement.
