UNSPSC 41115720: Chromatography tubing

UNSPSC 41115720 Chromatography tubing, a Commodity code, reflects state and local government procurement of analytical laboratory equipment and consumables for forensic, environmental, and water-quality analysis. The recent opportunities show minimal direct activity in chromatography tubing as a discrete line item; instead, jurisdictions are acquiring integrated chromatography systems (such as liquid chromatograph-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer units), laboratory testing services that employ chromatographic methods, and branded consumables (Waters Technologies cartridges and vials) used in those systems. The issuing bodies span county governments, cities, and municipal utilities across different service lines—a county sheriff's forensic laboratory, city water and wastewater treatment programs, and municipal water quality departments. Brazoria County, Texas appears as a repeat buyer, posting two related solicitations in April and May 2026 for the same LC-QQQ system acquisition.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, and Arizona. Brazoria County, Texas issued RFP #26-48 for a complete liquid chromatograph-triple quadrupole mass spectrometer system with installation, training, and integration, due May 12, 2026, with a $300,000 estimated budget funded through the Paul Coverdell Forensic Sciences Improvement Grant Program. The City of Palm Bay, Florida solicited laboratory testing services via Invitation to Bid 19-ITB-26 supporting water and wastewater analysis programs, with bids due March 17, 2026 and three bids received ranging from $80,872 to $107,946. The City of Tucson, Arizona issued IFB No. 240045 for Waters Technologies consumables—polypropylene vials, screw caps, OASIS WAX cartridges, and SPE cartridges—for PFAS and Dioxane drinking water analysis. These procurements reveal that state and local buyers use chromatography-based analysis primarily for forensic chemistry, drinking water compliance, and wastewater monitoring, with consumables and service contracts generating more visible activity than tubing as a standalone commodity.
