UNSPSC 41115614: pH transmitters

UNSPSC 41115614 pH transmitters is a Commodity code that in state and local procurement describes point-of-use analytical instruments and sensor equipment used in water quality monitoring programs. However, the recent solicitation activity under this code does not reflect instrument procurement; instead, the City of Palm Bay, Florida posted ITB 19ITB26 for comprehensive laboratory testing services covering water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment analysis across multiple municipal treatment facilities. The scope includes 188 line items spanning water testing, wastewater testing, industrial pretreatment testing, and courier services, with unit prices for individual analyses ranging from $0 for field measurements (including pH measurement) to $425 for specialized tests such as Cryptosporidium analysis. The service contracting model dominates the recent activity under this code, not the sale or lease of pH transmitter instruments themselves.

The geographic footprint captured in recent opportunities is limited to Florida, with the City of Palm Bay (Brevard County) as the primary issuing body represented in current records. The March 17, 2026 ITB response closed with three bids received: Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc. at $80,872.00 total bid, Flowers Chemical Laboratories, Inc. at $91,775.40, and Pace Analytical Services, LLC at $107,946.10. The contract covers a twelve-month initial term with four optional one-year renewal periods for a maximum cumulative term of sixty months. Bidders must hold Florida Department of Health Environmental Laboratory Certification Program certifications, maintain NELAP accreditation, and be located within one hundred miles of the City's North Regional Campus with 75 percent of analytical work performed in the primary laboratory. Historical spend context shows the City expended $66,360 in 2024 and $95,440 in 2025 on these laboratory services. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (pH transmitter instruments) and the actual solicitation activity (laboratory testing services) suggests this code shows limited relevant recent activity aligned with equipment procurement.
