UNSPSC 41112242: Laboratory waterbath thermometer

Thermometer used for critical temperature monitoring in laboratory water baths

UNSPSC 41112242 Laboratory waterbath thermometer is a Commodity code whose recent state and local opportunities show minimal alignment with its nominal scope. The City of Tampa and Atlanta Public Schools have posted solicitations tagged to this code, but the actual work being solicited — wastewater inventory panels and switches, thermocouples with thermowells for a waste-to-energy facility, and commercial kitchen equipment repair and maintenance services — bears no practical relationship to laboratory waterbath thermometers. The Tampa solicitations (ITB for WW Inventory Panel and Switch, RFQ for McKay Bay Thermocouples) call for industrial process measurement and control equipment, while the Atlanta Public Schools opportunities (RFP for commercial kitchen equipment services) concern HVAC, refrigeration, cooking, and food-service equipment maintenance. None of these product or service lines map to laboratory-grade temperature measurement devices for waterbath applications.

The code shows activity in two states — Florida (Tampa city procurement) and Georgia (Atlanta Public Schools) — but the geographic spread and issuing-body characterization are not meaningful given the scope mismatch. The recent opportunities represent a city utilities/solid waste division and a school system nutrition department, neither of which appears to be a repeat buyer under this code's actual taxonomy. Without recent state and local opportunities genuinely soliciting laboratory waterbath thermometers, the code shows little relevant activity for business development purposes. Consider this a signal that either the code assignment in these solicitations is administrative error or the code itself carries limited transactional volume in state and local procurement.
