UNSPSC 41112219: Thermocouple probes

UNSPSC 41112219 Thermocouple probes is a Commodity code that nominally covers temperature-sensing probes, but recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show a mismatch between the code's scope and actual procurement activity. The City of Tampa's two most recent opportunities—WW Inventory Panel and Switch (ITB 26P00425, due August 6, 2026) and McKay Bay Thermocouples (RFQ 26P00315, due May 12, 2026)—represent the only directly relevant activity, with the thermocouple opportunity calling for 24 units with thermowells in 446 stainless steel for the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility. Two additional opportunities posted by Atlanta Public Schools (RFP solicitations 2603032650PCP and PE76110NONST2026000000137, both due May 20, 2026) for commercial kitchen equipment repair and maintenance services appear unrelated to thermocouple procurement and reflect a tagging error. The issuing bodies are limited to two municipalities—the City of Tampa and Atlanta Public Schools—suggesting minimal recent activity under this code.

Geographic activity is concentrated in two states: Florida (City of Tampa) and Georgia (Atlanta Public Schools). The Tampa opportunities involve equipment and components for wastewater and waste-to-energy operations, while the Atlanta solicitations concern kitchen equipment services unrelated to temperature probes. The single opportunity squarely aligned with the code's scope is the McKay Bay thermocouple RFQ, which specifies a manufactured part from Precision Measurements and requires FOB Destination delivery to Tampa. No set-aside designations are mentioned in the Tampa solicitations, though the WW Inventory Panel and Switch bid is restricted to Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) certified bidders with a 5 percent evaluation discount. The code shows limited recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope.
