UNSPSC 41115718: Injector septa

UNSPSC 41115718 Injector septa is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory consumables and components used in analytical instrumentation, particularly those installed in chromatography and mass spectrometry systems. State and local governments purchase injector septa as replacement parts and consumables for forensic laboratories, environmental testing facilities, and water quality monitoring programs. Recent solicitations show that the code captures both standalone consumable procurement and consumable components bundled within larger analytical system acquisitions where the equipment itself becomes the primary focus but includes septa as supporting supplies.

Issuing bodies are primarily county sheriffs' offices operating forensic crime laboratories and municipal water or wastewater utilities operating analytical testing programs. Brazoria County, Texas has emerged as a repeat buyer, issuing RFPs in April and May 2026 for a Liquid Chromatograph-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometer system destined for the Sheriff's Office Crime Lab, with a response deadline of May 12, 2026, and an estimated project budget of $300,000 funded through the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Grant Program. The City of Palm Bay, Florida issued ITB 19-ITB-26 for comprehensive laboratory testing services spanning water, wastewater, groundwater, and industrial pretreatment programs, with a March 17, 2026 deadline; three bids were received, with the low bid from Advanced Environmental Laboratories, Inc. at $80,872.00 annually. The City of Tucson, Arizona issued IFB 240045 for Waters Technologies brand consumables including polypropylene vials, screw caps, OASIS WAX cartridges, and SPE cartridges required for PFAS and Dioxane drinking water analysis, with a mandatory pre-bid conference scheduled for October 9, 2023, though the bid deadline shown (October 20, 2023) is in the past. Recent activity shows county and municipal buyers across Texas, Florida, and Arizona, with activity concentrated in forensic and environmental laboratory operations rather than broader or distributed procurement patterns.
