UNSPSC 41112307: Cement water retentivity tester

A tester that is designed to measure the degree how much moisture can contain. For hydraulic cement, this is the tester that measures the moisture possession rate (%).

UNSPSC 41112307 Cement water retentivity tester is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it bears no meaningful relationship to the code's nominal scope. The source includes four opportunities posted between February and May 2026: Broward County's RFI for a Thor Guard lightning prediction and detection system (May 2026), Georgia Department of Transportation's eRFQ for Automated Weather Observing System equipment (April 2026), Texas Tech University's RFP for weather radar deployment (March 2026), and Brevard County's IFB for lightning protection system installation at two courthouses (February 2026). None of these solicitations involve cement water retentivity testing, concrete materials science, or laboratory instrumentation aligned with the code's stated commodity. The opportunities instead span lightning detection systems, weather observation equipment, weather radar infrastructure, and lightning protection installation services—all weather-related or electrical infrastructure work distinct from materials testing.

The geographic spread of these opportunities covers Florida (Broward County, Brevard County), Georgia (GDOT), and Texas (TTU). Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, state transportation departments, and university procurement offices. Because the code shows no relevant recent activity aligned with its actual commodity scope, prospective vendors pursuing cement-testing equipment or related materials science work should not rely on this code for targeting state and local procurement opportunities. The mismatch suggests either a systematic tagging error in the procurement platform or that state and local government purchasing under this specific commodity code remains inactive or untracked in the source data.
