UNSPSC 41104209: Deoxiders

UNSPSC 41104209 Deoxiders (Commodity) covers fixed atmospheric monitoring instruments deployed by state and local water and wastewater utilities to detect hazardous gases at treatment facilities, lift stations, and confined spaces. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department's August 2026 IFB exemplifies the scope: sealed bids for sensor systems, controllers, alarms, calibration materials, and replacement parts engineered to detect hydrogen sulfide, methane, oxygen depletion, chlorine, ammonia, ozone, chlorine dioxide, and carbon monoxide. Contractors supply installation assistance, testing, commissioning, documentation, operator training, and certified maintenance technicians. Equipment is sourced from manufacturers including ATI, De Nora, Drager, and MSA, with pricing submitted as a fixed discount from published manufacturer catalogs. The issuing body here is a city water utility; the code shows limited recent state and local activity under this taxonomy classification, suggesting it is not a high-volume procurement vehicle for most jurisdictions.

The Phoenix solicitation (IFB-27-0435, due September 4, 2026) represents the primary recent opportunity available under the code. The five-year contract requires DBE-Neutral program participation and compliance with Federal Transit Administration small business subcontractor obligations under 49 CFR Part 26, indicating procurement rooted in transit or water-infrastructure federal funding. The contractor must maintain replacement parts in local stock with 48-hour availability and Saturday delivery capability, and must demonstrate three years in business with three verifiable professional references. A non-mandatory pre-offer conference is scheduled for August 25, 2026, via WebEx. The source indicates no other recent state or local opportunities under this code tier, suggesting deoxiders and atmospheric monitoring instruments are procured infrequently or under broader equipment or services codes by most state and local jurisdictions.
