UNSPSC 41112201: Calorimeters

UNSPSC 41112201 Calorimeters, a Commodity code, encompasses laboratory thermal-analysis instruments that state and local governments procure for research, quality control, and materials characterization. The single recent opportunity on record shows universities buying differential scanning calorimeters (DSCs)—precision instruments that measure thermal properties of materials—for advanced analytical work. State and local buyers under this code appear to be primarily higher-education institutions and research-focused government laboratories that require specialized equipment to support scientific and engineering programs.

The University of Southern Mississippi posted an IFB on July 26, 2026, for a single DSC unit with a response deadline of August 12, 2026, to be awarded on best-value basis. Geographic activity in the recent-opportunities block is limited to Mississippi, and the code shows minimal recent procurement velocity across state and local jurisdictions; only one relevant solicitation appears in the current dataset, suggesting this is a low-volume, project-specific procurement category rather than a recurring or widely distributed spending area.
