UNSPSC 41113615: Electrometers

UNSPSC 41113615 Electrometers is a Commodity code covering laboratory measurement instruments used in research and testing applications. State and local procurement under this code reflects demand for precision electronic measurement equipment within higher-education research environments. The sole recent solicitation on file shows that universities and research institutions acquire electrometers and related specialty laboratory equipment through broad R&D goods and services RFPs that bundle multiple instrument categories — microscopes, chromatography systems, centrifuges, fume hoods, and measuring devices — into single vendor relationships. Issuing bodies under this code are primarily research universities; the current opportunity base reflects higher-education sector procurement rather than municipal or county activity.

Texas Tech University issued RFP 2026-1190 on May 4, 2026, for Research and Development Goods and Services, with proposals due April 30, 2026, through the TechBid system. TTU's evaluation criteria emphasize demonstrated ability to fulfill research needs (50 percent weight), with secondary consideration for compliance, qualifications, financial value, and value-added offerings such as local representation, discounts, e-commerce capabilities, and warranties. Bidders must comply with TTU's HUB program requirements and maintain Commercial General Liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence; an HUB Subcontracting Plan is required only if the contract is anticipated to exceed $100,000 over its term. The initial contract term runs four years from execution with options for up to four automatic one-year renewals unless either party provides sixty days' written non-renewal notice. Recent activity is concentrated in Texas and limited to university procurement; the code shows minimal broader state and local government activity.
