UNSPSC 41112243: Laboratory heat block thermometer

Thermometer used for critical temperature monitoring in laboratory heat blocks

UNSPSC 41112243 Laboratory heat block thermometer is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement activity covers temperature measurement and monitoring components used in industrial and facility operations rather than laboratory settings. The City of Tampa and Atlanta Public Schools represent the issuing bodies active under this code, spanning municipal utilities and school system operations. Recent solicitations show procurement of thermocouples with thermowells, front-panel digital thermometers, and loop-powered process meters—instrumentation integral to wastewater treatment, waste-to-energy facilities, and commercial kitchen equipment monitoring. These are capital components and replacement inventory items purchased as standalone products or bundled with equipment service contracts, not laboratory consumables. The code appears to capture facility-operations-grade temperature sensors and display devices rather than precision lab instruments, indicating a mismatch between the nominal code name and actual procurement activity under it.

Geographic activity is concentrated in Florida and Georgia. The City of Tampa's Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management division issued RFQ 26-P-00315 on May 13, 2026 for 24 thermocouples with thermowells (Part# CI1-MS14K-I-446-MTP-38-28.5-26.25-446-SP, 446 stainless steel) for delivery to the McKay Bay Waste-to-Energy Facility, with a May 12, 2026 response date; the same city issued ITB 26P00425 on July 9, 2026 for wastewater inventory components including pressure switches and digital process meters, due August 6, 2026, restricted to Small Local Business Enterprise certified bidders with a 5 percent bid discount. Atlanta Public Schools issued a broader RFP (PE76110NONST2026000000137) on April 23, 2026 for commercial kitchen equipment repair and maintenance services across eight equipment categories with a May 20, 2026 proposal deadline, including temperature-monitoring components as part of a comprehensive facilities-operations contract. Award under the Tampa solicitations will be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder; the APS contract offers a one-year initial term with up to four one-year renewal options.
