UNSPSC 41113313: Mineral oil testing instruments

UNSPSC 41113313 Mineral oil testing instruments is a Commodity code that covers analytical and diagnostic equipment for testing fluids and materials, but the recent state and local solicitations posted under it reflect a broader scope of scientific and environmental testing instrumentation. State and local governments are buying handheld mass spectrometers for field-based chemical threat detection, bench-top analytical instruments such as X-ray fluorescence and nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometers for laboratory elemental analysis, and on-demand disinfectant generation and testing systems for facility maintenance. Issuing bodies include county boards of commissioners, city procurement and water departments, and state agencies. Escambia County Board of County Commissioners, the City of Philadelphia (Police Department and Water Department), and the State of Texas have solicited under this code within the past four months, with Philadelphia appearing in multiple recent opportunities.

Recent activity spans Florida, Pennsylvania, and Texas. Representative solicitations include Escambia County's RFP for a hypochlorous acid generator capable of producing disinfectant on-demand for county facilities (due August 11, 2026); the City of Philadelphia Police Department's sealed-bid solicitation (ITB) for MX908 handheld mass spectrometers and accessories for drug and chemical threat detection with a 10% local bidding preference for certified Local Business Entities and a 12-month base contract term with four optional one-year renewals (due August 12, 2026); the City of Philadelphia Water Department's micro-purchase repair request for a Rigaku 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 nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer system (due June 11, 2026). The code shows active procurement across equipment purchase, installation, maintenance, and manufacturer-authorized repair services.
