UNSPSC 41113808: Gravimeters

UNSPSC 41113808 Gravimeters is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure precision laboratory measurement and instrumentation equipment for research, testing, and operational support across academic, educational, and public health settings. The code's scope encompasses specialized analytical and flow-measurement instruments used in scientific research, water treatment monitoring, and laboratory workflows — though recent state and local solicitations tagged to this code show activity across a broader range of laboratory equipment and research goods rather than gravimeters alone. Issuing bodies include higher-education institutions (Texas Tech University), independent school districts (Klein ISD), municipal water and public health departments (City of North Miami Beach, County of Santa Clara), and county government agencies. The issuing-body mix reflects both dedicated research procurement and specialized operational support for water and public health infrastructure.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with emerging procurement signals from California. Texas Tech University posted RFP 2026-1190 in May 2026 for laboratory equipment and specialty research and development goods and services, with proposals due April 30, 2026, under a best-value evaluation framework requiring HUB program compliance; Klein ISD (Harris County, Texas) issued RFP #26-101 in April 2026 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources including STEM equipment, with a June 5, 2026 deadline and contract start of September 1, 2026. The City of North Miami Beach pursued a sole-source procurement in April 2026 for a McCrometer 30" Model 395 Forward Flow Full Profile Insertion Mag Meter valued at $24,355.00 for water treatment operations. The County of Santa Clara posted an RFI in April 2026 for a Public Health Lab Information Management Solution Replacement with a fifteen-day response window. These opportunities reflect equipment-specific purchases alongside broader laboratory supply and systems contracts, with firm fixed-price terms, net 30-day payment, and multi-year renewal options common across the jurisdictions.
