UNSPSC 41113304: Bauxite analyzers

UNSPSC 41113304 Bauxite analyzers is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity tracks analytical laboratory instrumentation for materials analysis and disinfectant production monitoring, not bauxite-specific testing. State and local governments are using this code to solicit sophisticated analytical equipment including X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, nuclear magnetic resonance systems, wastewater extraction systems, and hypochlorous acid generators with real-time monitoring and compliance reporting. The issuing bodies span county commissions, city water and wastewater departments, state research facilities, and county public health laboratories. The scope of work includes purchase, delivery, installation, personnel training, and ongoing maintenance and support contracts for multi-thousand-dollar laboratory instrumentation.

Activity appears concentrated in Florida and Texas with secondary representation from California and Pennsylvania. Escambia County Board of County Commissioners in Florida posted two hypochlorous acid generator solicitations — a sole-source procurement (SSC2526004) with a February 25, 2026 deadline and a full proposal solicitation (PD2526083) with an August 11, 2026 response date — both seeking equipment capable of on-site disinfectant production for county facilities with EPA compliance and 24/7 maintenance support. The City of Tampa issued RFQ 26P00172 for an automated HEM extraction system for wastewater analysis with a February 26, 2026 response deadline. The City of Philadelphia Water Department posted micro purchase B2727377 for repair and detector replacement on a Rigaku NEX DE X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer (due June 29, 2026, estimated at $11,040). The State of Texas issued ITB-00022 for a Bruker TITAN 800 NMR spectrometer system (due June 11, 2026). The County of Santa Clara released an RFI (RFITSSFY260686) for a lab information management system replacement (due April 22, 2026). The code shows active recent solicitation across multiple states and issuing-body types, though the abstract code name diverges substantially from the equipment actually being procured.
