UNSPSC 81151909: Geophysical signal processing

Land Geophysical signal processing is a method that through the use of computers aims to manipulate the acquired (raw) signal through the application of filters, algorithms, and transforms to make the wanted signal clearer in both the time and frequency domains.

UNSPSC 81151909 Geophysical signal processing is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local activity tagged under it does not reflect geophysical signal processing work. Texas Tech University (TTU) issued RFP 2026-1190 in May 2026 seeking laboratory equipment, microscope equipment, centrifuges, chromatography systems, fume hoods, and specialty research and development goods and services — a direct procurement framed as supporting TTU's research initiatives through the provision of testing, measuring, and analytical equipment. The solicitation targets manufacturers and suppliers capable of providing equipment and related R&D goods and services, with evaluation weighted toward demonstrated ability to fulfill TTU needs (50 percent), compliance with federal and state requirements (15 percent), proposer qualifications (15 percent), financial value (10 percent), and value-added options (10 percent). Proposals required three professional client references, verification of licenses, and compliance with TTU's HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) program. The code shows limited recent relevant activity; the single posted opportunity reflects a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the work actually being solicited.

TTU, a state higher-education institution, was the issuing body for the identified opportunity. The Solicitation Conference occurred on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM Central (recommended but not mandatory), with written questions due Friday, April 24, 2026, at 5:00 PM Central; proposals were due Thursday, April 30, 2026, at 12:00 PM Central through the TechBid system, with evaluation anticipated between April and July 2026. Contract pricing remained firm for twenty-four months following execution, with potential increases not to exceed three percent annually thereafter, and the maximum initial term ran four years with options to automatically renew for up to four additional one-year renewal terms. Proposers were required to maintain Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), statutory Workers' Compensation, and Automobile Liability ($1,000,000) with TTU named as additional insured, and comply with comprehensive IT standards including 99.99% system uptime, WCAG 2.1 Level AA accessibility, NIST 800-53 security controls, and TX-RAMP compliance.
