UNSPSC 41112419: Cigarette filter draw resistance meter

A meter that measures the air suction resistance of the finished and semi-finished filter products and measures the air suction resistance of cigarette. It measures the pressure difference when the air flow speed is set for 17.5mL/s.

UNSPSC 41112419 Cigarette filter draw resistance meter is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with its nominal scope. The three most recent opportunities tagged to this code involve wastewater infrastructure components, regional water system SCADA upgrades, and industrial valve parts—none of which relate to tobacco-product testing equipment. The City of Tampa's July 2026 ITB for wastewater inventory solicits digital front panels, pressure switches, and process meters for wastewater operations; the City of Gallup's June 2026 RFP targets SCADA system modernization across 46 water distribution sites with fiber optic backbone and cellular backup; and Riverside County's January 2026 RFB seeks Cla-Val industrial valve components for warehouse stock. These opportunities reflect water and wastewater infrastructure procurement, not cigarette filter resistance measurement.

The code shows activity across Florida, New Mexico, and California over the past six months, but the issuing bodies—municipal wastewater and water utilities—and the work descriptions bear no substantive connection to the code's stated commodity. State and local government procurement under this code does not currently appear to support tobacco-industry test equipment acquisition or related service lines. Bidders pursuing state and local opportunities should verify that opportunities are correctly classified before investing pre-bid effort, as the mismatch between code definition and actual work being solicited suggests either systemic miscoding or obsolescence of the commodity category for current state and local demand.
