UNSPSC 41115857: Flame photometer analyzer

Automated system for the quantitation of sodium, potassium, chloride and lithium in serum, plasma or aqueous solutions, utilizing spectral ray measurement following sample vaporization by an extremely hot flame

UNSPSC 41115857 Flame photometer analyzer is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory and field analytical instrumentation used by state and local health, environmental, and emergency services agencies. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show procurement of specialized emissions monitoring equipment, blood transfusion support apparatus, and related laboratory consumables and transport materials. State and local buyers include county environmental and waste management divisions, state emergency medical services boards, and county fire and rescue departments. The work involves acquiring factory-new, equipment-grade analytical instruments that meet specific technical performance standards, often paired with associated consumables, calibration kits, and transport accessories. Vendors must typically hold current authorizations or certifications from equipment manufacturers and provide detailed documentation of insurance, debarment status, and business certifications before bid submission.

The code shows recent activity in California and Florida. The State of California Emergency Medical Services Board (EMSB) posted a competitive sealed bid solicitation in August 2026 for blood transfusion equipment including the Qinflow Warrior Blood Warmer system and specialized transport bags under Measure B funding, with bids due September 9, 2026 and a mandatory Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form requirement. Orange County, California posted an IFB in August 2026 for two Toxic Vapor Analyzer units with flame ionization and photo ionization detector capabilities, including probes and calibration kits for delivery to Prima Deshecha Landfill in San Juan Capistrano, with bids due December 10, 2024 and Local Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise preferences available. A Hillsborough County, Florida competitive sealed bid for janitorial and operational supplies was posted in July 2026 with an estimated contract value of $765,679.84 and a July 24, 2026 response date, though this opportunity appears misaligned with the flame photometer analyzer code scope. The County of Orange opportunity is structured as a cooperative procurement available to other Orange County departments and governmental entities through Pavilion with a 2 percent administrative rebate applied to subordinate contract sales.
