UNSPSC 41111817: Rice taste measuring system

It is used to evaluate the taste of rice in percentage by surveying and measuring the electromagnetic wave on the moisture protection membrane formed on the surface of the rice when actually cooked. It is also used for researches in developing the seed of rice.

UNSPSC 41111817 Rice taste measuring system is a Commodity code with minimal alignment to recent state and local procurement activity. The three most recent opportunities posted under this code involve water resources infrastructure — copper sulfate supply, HVAC system replacement, and particle counter installation — none of which relate to rice measurement or food quality assessment. The code appears to be a mislabeling artifact in state procurement databases rather than an active category for substantive procurement volume.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia has posted two water resources solicitations under this code: a competitive sealed bid (PE77023NONST2026000000534) for HVAC system replacement at the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center Operations Building, with bids due June 12, 2026, and another (PE77023NONST2026000000527) for particle counter replacement at the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants, with bids due May 8, 2026. Pasco County, Florida issued a request for quotes (RFQFP261004) on June 3, 2026, for an as-needed supply contract for copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate, with responses due June 26, 2026. The mismatch between the code name and the actual work being solicited suggests that state and local procurement offices are either applying the wrong taxonomy code to these water resource projects or that the code has been repurposed in their systems. Activity is sparse and geographically concentrated in Florida and Georgia, with no indication that this code serves as an active procurement vehicle for rice measurement systems or any food-science instrumentation.
