UNSPSC 41113805: Induced polarization IP geophysical instruments

UNSPSC 41113805 Induced polarization IP geophysical instruments is a Commodity code that encompasses specialized measurement and analytical equipment used in research, water treatment, and scientific testing environments—though recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct alignment with geophysical instrumentation. The opportunities solicited under this code reflect a broader mix of laboratory equipment, research and development goods, and specialized measurement devices rather than induced polarization geophysical instruments per se. State and local buyers issuing under this code span higher-education institutions, independent school districts, municipal water departments, and county public health agencies, with Texas Tech University and Klein Independent School District representing the largest recent institutional buyers. The scope of work includes laboratory equipment procurement (centrifuges, chromatography systems, microscopes), water quality measurement instruments (magnetic flow meters for treatment operations), instructional technology and career technical education equipment, and lab information management systems for public health operations.

Texas Tech University posted RFP 20261190 on May 4, 2026 for Research and Development Goods and Services, seeking laboratory and testing equipment with a response deadline of April 30, 2026 and requiring HUB program compliance with potential subcontracting plans if contract value exceeds $100,000; Klein Independent School District issued RFP 26-101 on April 17, 2026 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources across 17 program areas, with proposals due June 5, 2026 and encouraging HUB, MWBE, and SBE vendor participation. The City of North Miami Beach executed a sole source purchase order valued at $24,355.00 for a McCrometer 30" Model 395 magnetic flow meter from The Avanti Company on April 17, 2026 for water treatment lime softening operations. The Santa Clara County Public Health Lab issued an RFI on April 7, 2026 with an April 22 response deadline for a lab information management system replacement. Recent activity concentrates in Texas and California, with a secondary opportunity in Florida; the mix suggests diffuse issuing-body participation across multiple sectors rather than concentrated repeat buyers.
