UNSPSC 41101807: Electron diffraction apparatus

UNSPSC 41101807 Electron diffraction apparatus is a Commodity code that captures scientific and analytical laboratory equipment procurement by state and local entities, though recent activity under this code shows limited direct alignment with traditional electron diffraction instruments. State and local governments buy specialized analytical equipment—X-ray fluorescence analyzers, lab information management systems, and related scientific instrumentation—to support public health operations, university research and instruction, and school district science and advanced academics programs. Issuing bodies span higher education institutions (Valdosta State University), county public health departments (County of Santa Clara), and independent school districts (Klein ISD). The equipment ranges from single analytical instruments serving specific institutional research or diagnostic needs to broader technology platforms supporting complex laboratory workflows and educational curricula.

Recent activity appears concentrated in the Southeast and Southwest, with Virginia (Valdosta State University), Texas (Klein ISD in Harris County), and California (County of Santa Clara) posting opportunities in the April through June 2026 window. Valdosta State University issued an eRFQ (RFQ 55100ERFQ0017882026, due June 25, 2026) for an XRF Analyzer under Georgia's State Purchasing Act, seeking quotes from qualified suppliers for a single or multiple-award contract. Klein ISD in Harris County, Texas issued a broader RFP (#26-101, due June 5, 2026) for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources and equipment spanning 17 CTE program areas, with contract beginning September 1, 2026 and optional one-year renewals through 2030; the district encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE participation and requires Texas business licensing, $1,000,000 minimum liability coverage, and federal compliance certifications. The County of Santa Clara issued an RFI (RFITSSFY260686, due April 22, 2026) for a lab information management system replacement to support public health lab operations. Activity under the code remains modest relative to broader procurement volume.
