UNSPSC 41111934: Force or torque sensors

UNSPSC 41111934 Force or torque sensors (Commodity) covers scientific and analytical instrumentation for laboratory and field measurement applications. Recent state and local opportunities under this code show substantial divergence from the nominal scope — the solicitations actually tag requests for complete analytical systems (inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers, bore scanners, lock-in amplifiers) and infrastructure inspection equipment (color video pipeline systems and sewer cleaning units) rather than discrete force or torque measurement devices. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include universities (Texas A&M University System), environmental agencies (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency), municipalities (City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management), and school districts (Klein Independent School District). The work ranges from specialized laboratory equipment procurement with technical support and training requirements to field-deployed wastewater infrastructure inspection and maintenance systems with multi-year service contracts and parts availability commitments.

Geographic activity spans Texas (Texas A&M University System), Illinois (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency), and Georgia (City of Atlanta), with Texas showing the most recent volume. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's IFB GS/DWM/2604-1260190 for color video pipeline inspection systems, sewer cleaning units, and maintenance support services with bids due June 23, 2026; the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's IFB 26-532EPA-LAB53-B-50817 for an ICP-MS inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometer system with bids due February 17, 2026, valued at a scale that triggers a $15 filing fee and includes seven-year service guarantees; and Klein Independent School District's RFP #26-101 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources, equipment, and services across 17 program areas, with proposals due June 5, 2026. The code shows modest recent activity concentrated in scientific equipment and infrastructure systems procurement rather than standalone force or torque sensors.
