UNSPSC 41115703: Gas chromatographs

UNSPSC 41115703 Gas chromatographs is a Commodity code covering analytical laboratory instrumentation and associated services. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through equipment purchases bundled with installation, training, warranties, and maintenance — notably gas chromatograph/mass spectrometer systems equipped with autosamplers, software libraries, and onsite support. The California Department of Justice RFQ 25-222, posted September 30, 2026 with responses due October 14, 2026, exemplifies the core activity: procurement of a brand-specific Agilent 5977C Inert Plus MSD Turbo EI system bundled with the 8890 GC, 7693A Autoinjector, MassHunter software, NIST MS Library, two-year enhanced warranty, installation, training, and annual preventive maintenance with onsite repair available during business hours. Issuing bodies under this code span state environmental, health, and law-enforcement agencies, and possibly municipal or county labs; the recent opportunities show state departments as primary buyers.

The code shows limited recent activity in the identified opportunities. Geographic coverage is anchored in California based on the DOJ solicitation. The Tucson RFP (RFP No. 240011, posted September 30, 2026) tagged under this code does not represent relevant procurement activity — it addresses EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation and gas extraction services, which fall outside chromatography instrumentation scope. The California RFQ remains the only substantive recent opportunity: responses are due October 14, 2026, with award expected by October 28, 2026; a 5% small business preference and DVBE incentive apply; and the contract runs 11 months and 30 days from November 19, 2026 through November 18, 2028, with Net 45 payment terms under the California Prompt Payment Act. Equipment delivery is F.O.B. destination to Jurupa Valley within 30 days of purchase order receipt.
