UNSPSC 41112220: Laboratory freezer or refrigerator thermometers

UNSPSC 41112220 Laboratory freezer or refrigerator thermometers is a Commodity code that describes temperature monitoring and sensing equipment for controlled-environment storage and industrial applications. State and local governments actually procure this code's scope as part of broader instrumentation packages for water treatment facilities, waste-to-energy operations, laboratory infrastructure, and wastewater systems — bundled with pressure transmitters, humidity sensors, vibration monitors, and related accessories rather than as standalone thermometer units. The recent solicitations show that issuing bodies are purchasing temperature sensors and transmitters integrated into system-level environmental monitoring, vibration and temperature sensing for critical mechanical equipment, and replacement instrumentation for aging laboratory monitoring systems. Issuing bodies span county water departments, city utilities, state laboratory divisions, and special-purpose authorities (solid waste and renewable energy facilities). No single jurisdiction dominates the recent activity; rather, the code shows dispersed, occasional procurement across different mission types — water resources, environmental monitoring, and waste management.

The geographic spread of recent activity includes Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona. Representative recent opportunities include Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources issuing an Informal Written Quotation (IWQ 136938) on October 5, 2026, for vibration and temperature monitoring equipment including PT100 temperature sensors, accelerometer cables, and mounting hardware for the Norcross Booster Station, with quotes due October 12, 2026; the Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division issuing an RFQ on August 7, 2026, to replace aging environmental conditions monitoring systems across laboratory facilities in Tifton and Atlanta covering temperature and humidity monitoring for fifty-eight critical units including refrigerators, freezers, ultra-low freezers, and incubators, with responses due August 21, 2026; the Texas Water Development Board issuing an IFB on August 11, 2026, for temperature sensors, cables, and mounting equipment with bids due August 25, 2026; and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department issuing an IFB 26-0398 on August 18, 2026, for a five-year supply contract of pressure and temperature instrumentation equipment for water and wastewater facilities with sealed offers due August 18, 2026. The recent opportunities show modest but steady procurement velocity centered on replacement and replenishment of instrumentation across municipal water, wastewater, and laboratory operations.
