UNSPSC 41115717: Gas chromatography fittings

UNSPSC 41115717 Gas chromatography fittings (Commodity) is a tightly scoped code that in practice covers specialized laboratory consumables and components used in analytical testing environments by state and local agencies, though the recent opportunities posted under it do not consistently track to gas chromatography fittings alone. The solicitations show that state and local governments buying under or adjacent to this code are primarily purchasing complete analytical systems, laboratory services, and brand-specific consumables for environmental compliance, forensic analysis, and water quality monitoring. The issuing bodies include county sheriffs' offices (forensic labs), municipal water and wastewater utilities, and city environmental departments. The Brazoria County, Texas Sheriff's Office and the City of Palm Bay, Florida represent recurring water, wastewater, and forensic laboratory purchasers in the recent opportunities block.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Florida. Brazoria County conducted an RFP (due May 12, 2026) for acquisition, delivery, installation, training, and integration of a complete Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system for forensic analysis, with an estimated budget of $300,000 funded through the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Grant Program. The City of Palm Bay issued Invitation to Bid 19-ITB-26 (due March 17, 2026, now closed) for comprehensive laboratory testing services across water, wastewater, and groundwater programs, encompassing 188 line items and receiving bids ranging from $80,872 to $107,946. The City of Tucson, Arizona posted Invitation for Bid 240045 for Waters Technologies brand consumables (polypropylene vials, screw caps, OASIS WAX cartridges, SPE cartridges) required for PFAS and Dioxane analysis in drinking water samples, with a one-year initial term and four renewal options.
