UNSPSC 41112231: Oil cloud and pour point tester

A tester that measures the changes in condition following the temperature decline of crude petroleum and gasoline products.

UNSPSC 41112231 Oil cloud and pour point tester is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure for monitoring and instrumentation applications—though recent solicitations tagged under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal scope. The recent opportunities instead reflect demand for temperature and pressure sensing equipment, vibration monitoring systems, environmental conditions monitoring for laboratory facilities, thermocouples and thermowells for waste-to-energy operations, and commercial kitchen equipment services. State and local issuing bodies pursuing these categories include city water departments, county water resources authorities, state laboratory divisions, solid waste authorities, transit and utility districts, and school systems. The work ranges from point-of-use sensor installation and calibration for municipal water and wastewater treatment to long-term facility monitoring systems and related component supply chains.

Opportunities are distributed across Florida, Georgia, Texas, and Arizona, with notable activity in the Southeast. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department issued an IFB on August 18, 2026 (due August 18, 2026) for pressure and temperature instrumentation equipment—transmitters, switches, gauges, and accessories from established manufacturers including ABB, Honeywell, Emerson, and Siemens—under a five-year contract commencing October 15, 2026, with a pre-offer conference on August 4, 2026. Gwinnett County Department of Water Resources in Georgia solicited quotes for vibration and temperature monitoring equipment for the Norcross Booster Station under IWQ 136938, due October 12, 2026. The Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division issued an RFQ on August 7, 2026 (due August 21, 2026) for an environmental conditions monitoring system covering fifty-eight critical laboratory units across Tifton and Atlanta. The City of Tampa issued an RFQ on May 13, 2026 for 24 precision thermocouples with thermowells (446 stainless steel, Precision Measurements Part# CI1-MS14K-I-446-MTP-38-28.5-26.25-446-SP) for the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility. The code shows sparse alignment with oil-testing instrumentation; activity under this tag reflects sensor and monitoring procurement, not lubricant analysis equipment.
