UNSPSC 41111818: Non destructive examination reagent

A chemical that is used in non-destructive examination. It is appropriate to the penetration inspection, and when testing all solid surfaces, it detects the material defect open on the surface.

UNSPSC 41111818 Non destructive examination reagent is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses chemical reagents and testing materials used in water treatment and facility operations. The most recent procurement activity shows little alignment with the code's nominal non-destructive examination scope; instead, state and local buyers are soliciting copper sulfate (a chemical used in water quality testing and treatment) and equipment replacement and installation services unrelated to reagent supply. Pasco County, Florida solicited large copper sulfate crystals and liquid copper sulfate on an as-needed basis under RFQFP261004, while Gwinnett County, Georgia Board of Commissioners issued two solicitations for HVAC system replacement and particle counter replacement at water treatment facilities—neither of which involves non-destructive examination reagents. The issuing bodies active under this code are county-level water and utility departments rather than specialized inspection or testing services, and the work being procured spans chemical supply and facility infrastructure upgrades rather than a coherent reagent-focused product line.

The geographic activity centers on Florida and Georgia, with Gwinnett County (representing the metro Atlanta region) appearing twice in the recent record. Pasco County, Florida posted its copper sulfate RFQ on June 3, 2026, with a response date of June 26, 2026, under an indefinite-quantity arrangement with one or more vendors. Gwinnett County issued competitive sealed bids for HVAC replacement at the F. Wayne Hill Water Resources Center Operations Building (due June 12, 2026) and for particle counter replacement at the Lanier and Shoal Creek Filter Plants (due May 8, 2026). The mismatch between the code's stated purpose and the actual procurement activity—water infrastructure equipment and chemical supplies rather than non-destructive examination reagents—suggests this code assignment may reflect a data classification error rather than active demand for reagent products under UNSPSC 41111818.
