UNSPSC 41111919: Detection apparatus for non metallic objects

UNSPSC 41111919 Detection apparatus for non metallic objects (Commodity) encompasses leak detection services using non-destructive testing technologies — acoustic detection, thermal imaging, infrared thermography, ground penetrating radar, ultrasonic detection, moisture mapping, tracer gas technology, and dye testing — to locate water leaks, gas leaks, and other non-metallic utility line failures across facility infrastructure. State and local governments procure these services on an as-needed basis to maintain building systems, utilities, and grounds; the work typically flows through school districts, county facilities departments, and municipal infrastructure agencies seeking qualified contractors capable of rapid response and comprehensive forensic reporting. Issuing bodies span independent school districts and county government, with scope covering domestic water line detection, chilled water systems, condenser lines, irrigation systems, underground utilities, sanitary sewer investigations, stormwater drainage, natural gas leak locating, and swimming pool leak detection.

Pinellas County School District (Florida) posted an ITB for leak detection services on September 1, 2026, with bids due September 29, 2026, under solicitation 26CD036. The District sought contractors with five years of continuous business operation, five comparable projects within the prior five years, a physical location within Pinellas County, and capacity for 24/7 emergency response within one hour and non-emergency response within two business days; the estimated annual contract value is approximately $75,000 with an initial 365-calendar-day term and two optional one-year renewal periods. Bidders were required to maintain $1 million per-occurrence general liability insurance and provide documented leak detection accuracy guarantees. Personnel accessing school facilities required Level 2 clearance under the Jessica Lunsford Act. The evaluation period ran September 30 to October 2, with Notice of Intent to Award posted October 20 and School Board approval estimated October 27.
