UNSPSC 41113638: Oscilloscopes

UNSPSC 41113638 Oscilloscopes is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it show a substantial mismatch with the code's nominal scope. The three most recent solicitations name equipment and services unrelated to oscilloscopes: Texas A&M University solicited an AIMS III Scanning Tank System via ITB; Santa Clara County requested Motorola radios and accessories for the Sheriff's Office via RFQ; and Texas Tech University issued an RFP for research and development goods and services including laboratory equipment, microscopes, centrifuges, and chromatography systems. None of these procurements involve oscilloscopes or closely related electronic test and measurement instruments. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its actual commodity definition.

The issuing bodies are higher-education institutions and county government. The geographic footprint spans Texas (Texas A&M University, Texas Tech University) and California (Santa Clara County). Response dates ranged from June 2026 (Texas A&M ITB due July 16, 2026; Santa Clara County RFQ due June 17, 2026) through May 2026 (Texas Tech RFP proposals due April 30, 2026). The Texas Tech RFP established evaluation criteria weighted toward demonstrated ability to fulfill research needs (50 percent), compliance with federal and state requirements (15 percent), proposer qualifications (15 percent), financial value (10 percent), and value-added options (10 percent), and required HUB program compliance with potential subcontracting plan obligations on contracts exceeding $100,000 over term. Contract pricing remains firm for twenty-four months post-execution, with increases capped at three percent annually thereafter, and the initial term runs four years with options to renew for up to four additional one-year terms.
