UNSPSC 41115411: Inductively coupled plasma ICP spectrometers

UNSPSC 41115411 Inductively coupled plasma ICP spectrometers (Commodity) encompasses benchtop and portable analytical instruments that state and local laboratories use for elemental analysis, chemical identification, and residue testing across forensic, environmental, and public health applications. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing ICP systems alongside related mass spectrometry equipment—gas chromatographs with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), liquid chromatography triple-quadrupole systems (LC-QQQ), and field-deployable Raman analyzers—as part of laboratory modernization and analytical capacity expansion. The issuing-body mix spans state health and environmental agencies, university research programs, county forensic laboratories, city tactical investigation units, and criminal justice procurement offices. Texas dominates recent activity, with purchases by the Department of State Health Services, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, Brazoria County Sheriff's Office, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and multiple academic institutions; Mississippi and Illinois also show procurement activity through their university systems and state environmental and law-enforcement agencies.

Representative recent opportunities include the University of Mississippi's sealed-bid procurement (due July 16, 2026) for a Benchtop Simultaneous ICP Optical Emission Spectrometer (Bid File 1282); the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality's RFB for a Syft Tracer i8 ion flow tube mass spectrometer system (due April 15, 2026) supporting mobile air-quality monitoring; Brazoria County, Texas's RFP for a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for the Sheriff's forensic laboratory (due May 12, 2026, with an estimated $300,000 budget funded through a federal Department of Justice grant); and the Illinois Department of Agriculture's sole-source notice of intent to award Agilent Technologies a Triple Quadrupole GC/MS/MS (July 22, 2026 hearing, $300,000 estimated value) for pesticide residue analysis. Procurement vehicles include sealed competitive bids, RFPs, and sole-source awards. The code shows active, specialized demand in forensics, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance testing across academic and operational laboratory settings.
