UNSPSC 41112204: Pyrometers

UNSPSC 41112204 Pyrometers is a Commodity code that encompasses temperature-measurement instruments including thermocouples, thermowells, and related process-control sensors used in industrial and municipal infrastructure operations. State and local governments procure these devices primarily for wastewater treatment, waste-to-energy facilities, and building systems where continuous temperature monitoring is critical to operations and compliance. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city utilities departments (wastewater and solid waste management divisions) and, less frequently, school district facilities management. Recent opportunities show that procurement typically targets specific, engineered components with exact part numbers and material specifications rather than commodity off-the-shelf items, reflecting the specialized nature of temperature sensing in municipal infrastructure.

The City of Tampa, Florida has posted two relevant opportunities in the past three months: an RFQ (26P00315) issued May 13, 2026, for 24 thermocouples with thermowells (Part# CI1-MS14K-I-446-MTP-38-28.5-26.25-446-SP) for delivery to the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility with a May 12, 2026 response date, and an ITB (26P00425) posted July 9, 2026, for wastewater inventory components including loop-powered process meters, due August 6, 2026, restricted to Small Local Business Enterprise certified bidders with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000. A separate procurement notice from Atlanta Public Schools posted April 23, 2026, for commercial kitchen equipment services (due May 20, 2026) was tagged to this code but covers equipment repair and maintenance rather than temperature sensors, indicating some misclassification in the state and local system. Geographic activity under this code centers on Florida and Georgia, with Tampa representing the strongest recent buyer interest in pyrometry and related process-measurement instrumentation.
