UNSPSC 41113003: Electrogravimetry analyzers

UNSPSC 41113003 Electrogravimetry analyzers is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized analytical and testing equipment used in laboratory and field operations for material composition analysis, chemical identification, and environmental monitoring. The recent opportunities show a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited: while electrogravimetry refers to mass-change measurement techniques, the four recent opportunities tagged under this code involve handheld mass spectrometers for narcotics and explosives detection, X-ray fluorescence spectrometry for elemental analysis, hypochlorous acid generators for facility disinfection, and nuclear magnetic resonance systems for research applications. The code appears to serve as a catch-all for analytical instrumentation procurement across county governments, city departments, and state agencies, spanning equipment purchase, installation, maintenance, and repair services. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners (Escambia County, Florida), city procurement offices (Philadelphia Water Department and Police Department), and state agencies (Texas). The geographic activity shown includes Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas, with no evident concentration in any single region.

Recent opportunities include Escambia County Board of County Commissioners seeking proposals for purchase, installation, and maintenance of a hypochlorous acid generator capable of on-demand disinfectant production for county facilities (RFP, due August 11, 2026); the City of Philadelphia Police Department soliciting sealed bids for MX908 handheld mass spectrometers and accessories for narcotics, explosives, and chemical warfare agent identification with a 10% local business entity preference (IFB, due August 12, 2026, with Amendment 1 posted August 12, 2026); the City of Philadelphia Water Department procuring repair services for a Rigaku NEX DE X-ray fluorescence spectrometer under sole-source micro purchase authority at an estimated cost of $11,040 (ITB, due June 29, 2026); and the State of Texas issuing an invitation to bid for a Bruker TITAN 800 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer system with installation services (ITB, due June 11, 2026). The Philadelphia opportunities carry specific compliance requirements: the handheld spectrometer bid mandates a $100 annual bid security program enrollment fee, a $25 non-refundable bid processing fee per quote, and LBE certification documentation; the water department repair contract requires $500,000 general liability and $300,000 automobile liability insurance with the City named as additional insured.
