UNSPSC 41115703: Gas chromatographs

UNSPSC 41115703 Gas chromatographs is a Commodity code covering analytical instruments and integrated systems that state and local governments procure for environmental monitoring, drinking water quality testing, and air emissions analysis. The recent solicitations show that this code captures not only standalone gas chromatograph equipment but also complete automated chromatography systems with sample preparation, data integration, and training components. Issuing bodies span state environmental and health agencies—the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and Texas Health and Human Services Commission—as well as local water utilities and municipal water districts. The scope of work includes procurement of new gas chromatograph mainframes with mass spectrometry interfaces, automated sample preparation systems such as purge-and-trap units, consumables for specific analytes like PFAS and dioxane, and complete integrated measurement systems with software, installation, and operator training.

Recent activity shows strong concentration in Texas and California. The Texas Health and Human Services Commission posted IFB HHS0016988 on April 6, 2026 (response due March 25, 2026) for two Agilent 8890 Gas Chromatograph systems with mass spectrometry interface, Teledyne Tekmar automated sample preparation systems, and training, with estimated value between $300,000 and $500,000 and delivery required within 14 days to the DSHS Lab Warehouse in Austin. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality issued RFB 582-26-14351 (due February 11, 2026) for two Automated Gas Chromatograph Integration Systems with thermal desorption and flame ionization detection compatible with existing Perkin Elmer and Merlin equipment at air quality monitoring stations. The City of Tucson, Arizona, posted IFB 240045 for Waters Technologies consumables including OASIS cartridges and vials for PFAS and dioxane analysis. State and local procurement under this code emphasizes regulatory compliance (Safe Drinking Water Act, air quality standards), integration with existing equipment and software infrastructure, and vendor-provided installation, training, and warranty support.
