UNSPSC 25191816: Compression type spring tester

A device for testing the tension or reactive force compression type coil springs on valves, clutches and cylinder heads on internal combustion engines. It tests for free height, squareness of the spring with the spring placed on the plane part of the tester.

UNSPSC 25191816 Compression type spring tester, a Commodity code, shows minimal relevant recent procurement activity among state and local governments. The code nominally covers testing equipment for compression springs, but the recent opportunities posted under this classification do not reflect spring-testing work. Instead, the tagged solicitations include crash data retrieval kits (Texas Department of Public Safety), exhaust analyzers (State of California), four-post automotive lifts (Worth County, Georgia), and automotive repair parts (Sarasota County Schools, Florida) — none of which are compression spring testers or closely related diagnostic or mechanical testing equipment. The mismatch between the code designation and actual solicitation scope suggests either systematic miscoding or that state and local purchasing offices are not actively buying compression spring testers under this UNSPSC number.

The few opportunities posted under this code originate from disparate issuing bodies across Texas, California, and Georgia, with no pattern indicating concentration among particular agency types or regions. The most recent substantive solicitation is the Texas DPS Crash Data Retrieval Kits IFB (40526R0015950, due May 29, 2026), which is unrelated to spring testing. No current opportunities for compression type spring testers themselves are evident in the recent posting record. Vendors evaluating this code should verify whether their products are being correctly classified by issuing jurisdictions or consider whether alternative UNSPSC codes better capture state and local procurement demand for spring-testing or related mechanical-test equipment.
