UNSPSC 41103028: Liquid nitrogen measuring stick

Flexible stick, usually constructed from fiberglass, that is utilized for measuring the level of liquid nitrogen in storage tanks or systems

UNSPSC 41103028 Liquid nitrogen measuring stick (Commodity) shows little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes measurement devices for cryogenic liquid, but recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code center on evidence refrigerators, pharmacy refrigeration units, laboratory refrigerators and freezers, and medical-grade refrigeration equipment with vaccine data loggers — equipment that operates at conventional food-storage or medical temperatures rather than liquid nitrogen service. The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity suggests either tagging error or a vendor-classification artifact in the source systems. None of the posted opportunities explicitly call for liquid nitrogen measuring sticks or cryogenic instrumentation.

The opportunities that do appear span city police forensics (City of Austin IFQ for evidence refrigerators and freezers), state corrections and public health (Illinois Department of Corrections IFBs for pharmacy and vaccine refrigeration units; District of Columbia Public Health Lab refrigerator and freezer procurement), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell's law enforcement equipment RFP, which may include refrigeration as a component). Geographic concentration is modest, with activity in Texas, Illinois, Washington, and the District of Columbia during May through August 2026. Without verifiable opportunities aligned to the Commodity's actual scope of liquid nitrogen measurement and monitoring tools, firms pursuing this code should verify that their product or service genuinely maps to the code before investing in response strategy.
