UNSPSC 41112224: Infrared thermometer

A device used to remotely measure temperature in situations where it is not possible to be in physical contact with the object being measured. This includes objects that are very hot, very small or very far away.

UNSPSC 41112224 Infrared thermometer is a Commodity code covering calibration, certification, and maintenance services for infrared temperature measurement instruments used in state and local laboratory and quality assurance operations. The single recent opportunity under this code shows that state and local procurement agencies solicit calibration and certification services for infrared thermometers as part of broader analytical equipment servicing contracts. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife Office of Spill Prevention and Response Laboratory Program, which is certified by the State Water Resources Control Board Environmental Lab Accreditation Program, procures these services to maintain compliance with ISO 17025 accreditation requirements and NIST traceability standards. Services include annual calibration, certification, and recertification cycles traceable to NIST standards, with reports due within 28 business days of completion. Contractors must hold metrology laboratory accreditation through ISO/IEC 17025, NIST NVLAP, or equivalent EU or US-based programs. The work extends beyond infrared thermometers alone to include analytical balances, weights, digital thermometers, thermocouples, and pipettors, suggesting that infrared thermometer calibration is typically bundled with broader laboratory equipment certification services rather than procured as a standalone line item.

Activity under this code is minimal based on recent postings. The California Department of Fish and Wildlife IFB P2675012, posted September 10, 2026 with responses due October 5, 2026, represents the only recent state or local opportunity supporting this Commodity code. The contract runs three years from December 1, 2026 through November 30, 2029, with all-inclusive unit rates and a fixed annual parts requirement of $500, plus hourly labor rates for additional service calls. A 5% small-business preference applies to California-certified small businesses, with an option for non-small businesses to qualify by subcontracting 25% of net bid price to certified small businesses or micro-businesses; an additional 5% DVBE incentive is available. On-site calibration of analytical balances must occur at two CDFW laboratory locations in the greater Sacramento area, while other services may be performed on-site or at the contractor's facility. Required insurance includes $1,000,000 Commercial General Liability per occurrence, $1,000,000 Automobile Liability combined single limit, and $1,000,000 Workers Compensation.
