UNSPSC 41113027: Osmometers

UNSPSC 41113027 Osmometers, a Commodity code, sees minimal alignment between its nominal scope and recent state and local solicitations. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—the Illinois Department of Corrections' IFB 26-426DOC-CENTO-B-52227, due May 18, 2026—actually procures medical-grade refrigeration units, vaccine data logging systems, and portable freezer units for correctional facilities, not osmometers. The IDOC solicitation specifies pharmacy and vaccine refrigerators maintaining 2C to 8C temperatures, dual-channel temperature data loggers with continuous monitoring and removable probes, and portable freezer units with locks and travel trolleys. Equipment must carry a minimum one-year manufacturer warranty and four-year compressor warranty; the contractor must be the original manufacturer or authorized direct distributor with no use of brokers, resellers, or third-party intermediaries unless expressly approved in writing. Installation must be complete by June 30, 2026, with all personnel meeting facility security and occupational safety standards.

The mismatch between the code's stated scope and actual procurement activity suggests this Commodity code carries little relevant recent opportunity activity for osmometer vendors. The Illinois Department of Corrections represents the only identifiable recent issuing body under this code in the available record, and the scope—refrigeration and data logging—falls outside typical osmometer applications. Geographic activity is limited to Illinois based on the posted opportunity. State and local procurement professionals evaluating this code should treat it as dormant for osmometer work and verify category coding in any future RFPs or RFQs that may be tagged under 41113027, as the current record indicates possible miscoding or a dramatic shift in procurement intent away from the commodity's traditional scope.
