UNSPSC 41111517: Analytical balances

UNSPSC 41111517 Analytical balances is a Commodity-level code that covers laboratory analytical and measurement equipment, including digestion blocks, LIMS integration hardware, and related analytical instrumentation used in public health, environmental, and water quality testing operations. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through public health departments, water utilities, and correctional healthcare facilities that operate laboratory operations requiring precision measurement and analysis equipment. The issuing bodies include county health departments, city water departments, and state correctional healthcare systems, each seeking equipment to support regulatory-compliant laboratory workflows.

The Fort Worth solicitation requires $1,000,000 per-occurrence and $2,000,000 annual-aggregate Commercial General Liability coverage, names the City as additional insured, mandates Net 30 payment terms, and reserves the right to make multiple awards. Small Business Enterprise certificates are encouraged under the City of Fort Worth Small Business Program.
