UNSPSC 41101901: Ion sources

UNSPSC 41101901 Ion sources is a Commodity code that encompasses analytical and laboratory instrumentation capable of generating, detecting, or analyzing ions and elemental composition. State and local governments procure under this code handheld mass spectrometers for field-based chemical and explosive detection, X-ray fluorescence spectrometers for materials analysis, NMR systems for research applications, and hypochlorous acid generators that produce disinfectant on demand through electrochemical ion generation. The issuing bodies span county commissions, city police and water departments, and state research and analytical facilities. Work solicited includes purchase of new equipment with extended warranties and on-site training, repair and replacement of detector assemblies and specialized components for existing instruments, installation and cybersecurity assessment of ion-generation systems, and ongoing hardware and software maintenance contracts.

Recent activity reflects a geographic mix across the South (Escambia County, Florida), Mid-Atlantic (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania), and Texas, with issuing bodies drawn from county public facilities, municipal public safety and water operations, and state-level procurement. Representative recent opportunities include Escambia County's RFP for purchase, installation, and maintenance of a hypochlorous acid generator capable of producing disinfectant on demand for all county facilities, due August 11, 2026; the City of Philadelphia Police Department's sealed-bid solicitation (B2627421) for MX908 handheld mass spectrometers and accessories with a 10% local business entity preference, due August 12, 2026; the Philadelphia Water Department's sole-source micro purchase (B2727377) for repair services on a Rigaku NEX DE X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer, due June 29, 2026 with an estimated cost of $11,040; and the State of Texas ITB-00022 for a Bruker TITAN 800 NMR spectrometer system with installation services, due June 11, 2026.
