UNSPSC 41104504: Cleanroom ovens

UNSPSC 41104504 Cleanroom ovens, a Commodity code, encompasses laboratory and forced-air convection ovens that state and local agencies purchase for materials testing, calibration, and regulatory compliance work. Recent solicitations show state transportation departments procuring mechanically controlled ovens with precise temperature regulation—typically 28 cubic foot forced-air units with stainless steel interiors, single-phase 230-volt power, and temperature uniformity requirements within 2.5 degrees Celsius—rather than pharmaceutical-grade cleanroom equipment. The issuing bodies are primarily state departments of transportation (Texas DOT Childress and Abilene districts, Illinois DOT District 6) acquiring these units for laboratory analysis of asphalt, materials, and related infrastructure testing. No school districts, counties, cities, or transit authorities appear in the recent opportunities under this code.

Texas DOT and Illinois DOT dominate recent activity. Texas DOT posted three solicitations between May and July 2026—Solicitation 601310000101248 for a horizontal air flow cabinet oven (due May 4, 2026), Solicitation 601340000066278 for laboratory ovens and NCAT asphalt furnaces for the Abilene District (due July 13, 2026), and Solicitation 601340000066612 for a mechanical convection oven for the Childress District (due July 23, 2026)—all requiring registration on the Euna Procurement platform (formerly Bonfire) and current listing on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Centralized Master Bidders List. Illinois DOT District 6 posted two separate solicitations for 28 cubic foot forced air laboratory ovens meeting detailed specifications (stainless steel interior, PID control, UL listing, $1 million commercial liability insurance, Illinois Standard Terms and Conditions compliance including prevailing wage and equal opportunity requirements)—Solicitation 26494DOTFINADB52235 due May 8, 2026, and Solicitation 27494DOTFINADB52856 due June 25, 2026. No recent opportunities in other states are supported by the source.
