UNSPSC 41112235: Specific heat measuring instrument

An instrument that measures the specific heat as the required calorie that is required for unit weight of certain object to increase 1 degree C.

UNSPSC 41112235 Specific heat measuring instrument is a Commodity code with misaligned recent activity — the posted opportunities target wastewater control panels, pressure switches, loop-powered process meters, thermocouples with thermowells, and commercial kitchen equipment repair services, none of which align with the code's stated scope of heat-measurement instrumentation. The City of Tampa's ITB for WW Inventory Panel and Switch (due August 6, 2026) solicits industrial control components for wastewater systems, while Tampa's RFQ for McKay Bay Thermocouples (posted May 13, 2026, due May 12, 2026) requests thermocouples and thermowells for a waste-to-energy facility. Atlanta Public Schools' two commercial kitchen equipment RFPs (both posted April 23, 2026, due May 20, 2026) cover repair, preventive maintenance, installation, and replacement services across eight equipment categories including refrigeration, cooking, warewashing, and ventilation systems. None of these solicitations match the code's nominal instrumentation classification.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with the City of Tampa appearing twice as an issuing body and Atlanta Public Schools as the other principal buyer. The Tampa ITB is a sheltered-market award restricted to Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) certified bidders with a 5 percent bid discount capped at $10,000; the contract term runs one year with two additional one-year renewal options at the City's discretion plus three unilateral 30-day extension periods. The McKay Bay thermocouple RFQ specifies Precision Measurements Part# CI1-MS14K-I-446-MTP-38-28.5-26.25-446-SP (446 stainless steel construction) for delivery to the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility with FOB Destination pricing. Atlanta Public Schools' commercial kitchen equipment RFPs require EPA 608 refrigeration certification and seven-day service capability (including after-hours and weekend/holiday support), with evaluation on a 500-point scale covering qualifications (100 points), methodology (100 points), pricing (300 points), and optional Phase 2 presentation (100 points); a pre-proposal conference is scheduled for April 29, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. ET via Teams, with written questions due May 6, 2026. This code shows low relevance to typical heat-measurement procurement in state and local government.
