UNSPSC 41103326: Wind tunnel

Equipment that is utilized to observe and study the phenomenon of air and it proves the theories of hydrodynamics in actual experiment and to measure several types of phenomenon and force working on the object in air. The air flow is artificially generated to find out how the object (model) to be experimented moves in the air in this tunnel-shaped experiment device.

UNSPSC 41103326 Wind tunnel, a Commodity code, describes specialized testing equipment that state and local governments procure for educational and research applications. Based on recent solicitation activity, the code encompasses aviation wind tunnels and related aerodynamic testing apparatus used by school districts and similar institutions. The limited recent activity suggests this is a narrow, specialized procurement category with infrequent purchasing cycles — educational institutions acquire wind tunnels only when building or substantially upgrading science and aviation programs, making solicitations episodic rather than recurring.

Granite School District in Salt Lake County, Utah issued a notice of intent to award without engaging in a standard procurement process for an aviation wind tunnel on February 19, 2026, with a deadline of February 27, 2026. The district conducted this procurement under Utah Code Part 63G-6a Part 8, which permits direct awards when single-source availability or significant transitional costs justify bypassing competitive bidding. The notice did not disclose the award value or budget range. No other recent state or local solicitations under this code appear in the available record, limiting geographic characterization to Utah activity in early 2026.
