UNSPSC 41103308: High vacuum combustion apparatus

UNSPSC 41103308 High vacuum combustion apparatus (Commodity) encompasses laboratory and specialized equipment training systems, vacuum sewer system components, and related instrumentation that state and local governments acquire for educational, infrastructure, and public health operations. Recent solicitations show state universities and school districts buying modular high-vacuum training systems for technical education, counties procuring vacuum sewer system controllers and monitoring apparatus for wastewater infrastructure, and public health laboratories seeking lab information management systems integrated with vacuum-dependent workflows. The issuing bodies are diverse: higher-education institutions (Texas A&M University System), independent school districts (Klein ISD), county governments (Sarasota County, Santa Clara County), and special-purpose districts or county departments managing both educational and infrastructure functions.

Activity is geographically concentrated in Texas and Florida, with a single California county-level healthcare procurement. The Texas A&M University System issued an ITB for a modular high-vacuum training system (TAMUSITB260538, due June 12, 2026) through the AggieBid portal, with technical questions directed to soprocurement@tamus.edu. Sarasota County, Florida issued a sole-source Intent to Sole Source procurement (2026ISS642, due March 2, 2026) for AIRVAC vacuum sewer system products and services including controllers, monitoring systems, and variable-speed pumps, restricted to vendors authorized by Airvac Inc. The Klein ISD RFP (RFP #26-101, due June 5, 2026) for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources included equipment across 17 CTE program areas, with contract start September 1, 2026, and four optional one-year renewals; the district encourages HUB, MWBE, and SBE vendors as both primes and subcontractors. Santa Clara County issued an RFI (RFITSSFY260686, due April 22, 2026) for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement, seeking a modern, scalable LIMS capable of supporting full-range public health lab workflows.
