UNSPSC 41113302: Albuminometers

UNSPSC 41113302 Albuminometers is a Commodity code that in practice captures state and local procurement of laboratory and analytical instrumentation used for elemental analysis, chemical detection, and materials testing — work substantially broader than the code's nominal scope of protein-measurement devices. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring handheld mass spectrometers for drug and explosives detection, X-ray fluorescence spectrometers for elemental analysis, hypochlorous acid generators with integrated control systems, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers for research applications. The issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, municipal water departments and police departments, and state procurement offices. Buyers are purchasing equipment outright, seeking repair and maintenance services on existing instruments, and contracting for installation, training, and ongoing system support including hardware and software maintenance.

Geographic activity spans Florida (Escambia County), Pennsylvania (Philadelphia Water Department and Police Department), and Texas (state-level procurement). Representative recent opportunities include Escambia County Board of County Commissioners' RFP for a hypochlorous acid generator with on-demand disinfectant production capability, installation, testing, and ongoing maintenance (due August 11, 2026); the City of Philadelphia Police Department's sealed bid for MX908 handheld mass spectrometers and accessories with 5-year warranty and training, a twelve-month requirements contract with four optional one-year renewals (due August 12, 2026, with a 10% local bidding preference for certified Local Business Entities); the City of Philadelphia Water Department's micro purchase for repair services on a Bruker NEX DE X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer, estimated at $11,040 (due June 29, 2026); and the State of Texas ITB for a Bruker TITAN 800 NMR spectrometer system with equipment and installation services (due June 11, 2026).
