UNSPSC 41113304: Bauxite analyzers

UNSPSC 41113304 Bauxite analyzers is a Commodity code that state and local governments are using to procure analytical and diagnostic instrumentation for scientific, environmental, and safety applications — though recent opportunities show little activity tied to bauxite analysis itself. The issuing bodies span county governments, city procurement offices, and state agencies, each pursuing specialized laboratory and field equipment. Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is sourcing a hypochlorous acid generator for disinfectant production across county facilities, requiring delivery, installation, personnel training, and ongoing hardware and software maintenance. The City of Philadelphia Police Department is seeking MX908 handheld mass spectrometers capable of identifying drugs, fentanyl-based compounds, chemical warfare agents, and explosives, with third-party performance testing required; the same city's Water Department is pursuing repair services for a Rigaku NEX DE X-ray Fluorescence spectrometer used in elemental analysis of metals, polymers, and unknown substances. The State of Texas issued an ITB for a Bruker TITAN 800 NMR spectrometer system for research and laboratory applications. The geographic spread across these opportunities includes Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas, with no clear concentration in any single state.

Recent procurement activity under this code reflects sporadic, specialized demand rather than sustained volume. Escambia County's RFP for the hypochlorous acid generator closed August 11, 2026, requiring proposals addressing cybersecurity and field safety compliance. The City of Philadelphia's IFB for MX908 mass spectrometers closed August 12, 2026, at 10:30 a.m., with a 10% local bidding preference for certified Local Business Entities on contracts valued at $1 million or less and a mandatory $100 annual Bid Security Program enrollment plus $25 per-quote processing fee; the contract term runs twelve months with options to renew for up to four additional one-year periods. Philadelphia Water Department's micro purchase for spectrometer repair services closed June 29, 2026, with an estimated cost of $11,040 before freight and taxes, sole-sourced to Applied Rigaku Technologies as manufacturer. The State of Texas ITB for the Bruker TITAN 800 spectrometer closed June 11, 2026. No contract values, awarded vendors, or pending awards are specified in the available source material.
