UNSPSC 41113045: Oil film tester

A tester that tests the degree of oil film formulation for machine lubrication oil and grease types, the change of grease thickness following the temperature change and others.

UNSPSC 41113045 Oil film tester is a Commodity code that covers laboratory testing equipment and related analytical services for fluid condition monitoring in electrical and industrial applications. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying insulating oil testing laboratory services for transformers and electrical equipment, comprehensive materials testing and inspection services for construction projects, and technical support and service agreements for specialized analytical instruments. The issuing bodies span electric utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), health departments (Texas Department of State Health Services, County of Santa Clara Public Health Lab), counties (Marion County, Oregon; Brevard County, Florida), municipalities (City of Tampa, City of Orlando, City of Ocala), and special-purpose districts and authorities. The mix reflects distributed demand across utilities, public health agencies, and infrastructure operators rather than concentrated procurement from a single jurisdiction type.

Recent solicitations show activity across multiple states and service lines. Lubbock Power & Light (Texas) issued an RFP for annual insulating oil testing and laboratory services for approximately 20 substations with proposals due July 22, 2026, requiring ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and minimum five years of utility experience in insulating fluid analysis. Marion County, Oregon issued an ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy with proposals due July 24, 2026. The Texas Department of State Health Services issued an IFB for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance services for specialized sterilization and washing equipment at the South Texas Laboratory in Harlingen, with bids due July 6, 2026 and estimated annual value of $25,050 to $40,000. The City of Tampa issued an RFQ for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer replacement at its McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility with quotes due June 12, 2026. Geographic activity centers on Texas, Oregon, and Florida, with sporadic opportunities in Connecticut and additional states. The code shows strong representation in utility and public health lab testing but limited volume overall in recent procurement windows.
