UNSPSC 41103316: Pycnometers

UNSPSC 41103316 Pycnometers is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it do not actually involve pycnometers — density-measurement instruments used in laboratory settings. Instead, the posted solicitations involve water and wastewater testing services, laboratory information management systems, and water reclamation facility sensors and controllers. The mismatch suggests tagging inconsistency in state and local procurement databases rather than active procurement of the instrument class the code nominally describes. State and local governments buying under this code are primarily Florida municipalities (City of Bradenton, City of Palm Bay) and California counties (County of Santa Clara), issuing bodies that manage water quality, wastewater compliance, and public health laboratory operations.

The recent opportunities reveal that state and local procurement tagged to this code actually centers on comprehensive laboratory testing services for regulatory compliance, laboratory information system modernization, and water facility instrumentation. The City of Palm Bay issued an Invitation to Bid (19ITB26) in April 2026 for laboratory testing services supporting three wastewater treatment facilities, two water treatment facilities, groundwater monitoring wells, and industrial pretreatment programs — a scope spanning 188 line items across water testing, wastewater testing, industrial pretreatment analysis, and courier services, with historical annual spending of $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025. The City of Bradenton posted a Notice of Intent (26038NT) in July 2026 for WRF level sensors and controllers under a sole-source procurement to The Avanti Company, the authorized McCrometer representative for Florida, Alabama, and Georgia. The County of Santa Clara issued a Request for Information (RFITSSFY260686) in April 2026 for a modern, scalable lab information management system replacement. Given the disconnect between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited, this code shows little relevant recent activity for pycnometer vendors.
