UNSPSC 41113010: Thermo gravimetry analyzers

UNSPSC 41113010 Thermo gravimetry analyzers, a Commodity code, nominally identifies instruments that measure material mass loss as a function of temperature; however, the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show minimal alignment with that definition. The code's recent activity centers instead on specialized analytical and disinfection equipment for government facilities and laboratory testing. Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is soliciting purchase, installation, and maintenance of a hypochlorous acid generator capable of producing disinfectant on demand for county facilities, with delivery, installation, personnel training, and ongoing hardware and software maintenance included in the scope. The City of Philadelphia Police Department is bidding sealed quotes for MX908 handheld mass spectrometers and accessories to identify drugs, precursor compounds, fentanyl-based compounds, chemical warfare agents, and explosives, with on-site training and a five-year warranty on a requirements contract renewed at the City's discretion. The Philadelphia Water Department separately procured repair services for an existing Rigaku NEX DE X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer, restoring elemental analysis capability in the Materials Analysis Section. The State of Texas issued an Invitation to Bid for a Bruker TITAN 800 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer system. The issuing-body mix includes county government, municipal purchasing (two separate Philadelphia departments), and state procurement, reflecting activity across local and state levels.

Recent activity appears concentrated in Texas, Pennsylvania, and Florida. The Philadelphia Water Department's micro purchase for spectrometer repair (solicitation B2727377, due June 29, 2026) was sole-source to Applied Rigaku Technologies, estimated at $11,040 for labor and detector replacement parts. The City of Philadelphia Police Department's sealed-bid solicitation (B2627421, due August 12, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.) for mass spectrometers applies a 10% local bidding preference for certified Local Business Entities on contracts valued at $1 million or less and requires enrollment in the Annual Bid Security Program with a non-refundable $100 fee plus a $25 per-quote Bid Processing Fee; Amendment 1 was posted August 12, 2026. The Escambia County RFP (PD2526083, due August 11, 2026) for the hypochlorous acid generator included IT security assessment requirements but disclosed no contract value, term, or evaluation criteria in available materials. The State of Texas ITB (BRUKERTITAN800SFAITB00022, due June 11, 2026) for the Bruker spectrometer did not disclose budget, award value, or set-aside information. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement activity, and the opportunities posted do not consistently reflect the code's nominal scope.
