UNSPSC 41111521: Thermogravimeter

A scale that is used to measure the weight of certain mass when a substance is heated or maintained for certain degree of high temperature.

UNSPSC 41111521 Thermogravimeter is a Commodity code that nominally describes analytical weighing instruments, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show little alignment with the thermogravimetric analysis equipment the code name suggests. Instead, the opportunities posted under 41111521 span law enforcement equipment procurement, weighing systems maintenance and calibration for municipal departments, and transit stop operational maintenance — none of which involve thermogravimeters as a primary procurement object. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying activity indicates that this code sees minimal relevant state and local government use for its intended purpose.

The geographic spread of recent activity covers Minnesota (through Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative), Texas (Dallas), and Florida (Jacksonville), but the three posted opportunities — a Sourcewell RFP for law enforcement equipment due June 16, 2026; the City of Dallas ID/IQ RFP for weighing systems maintenance and calibration services due April 24, 2026; and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority RFP for transit stop operational maintenance — do not represent a coherent purchasing pattern under the thermogravimeter code. The Dallas solicitation is the only one with direct relevance to precision weighing and calibration services, requiring NIST-traceable calibration certifications and serving sanitation, police, water utilities, and animal services departments. State and local procurement professionals should treat this code as inactive or misclassified for thermogravimeter procurement and verify the correct UNSPSC classification before pursuing opportunities flagged under 41111521.
