UNSPSC 41113046: Adhesion tester

A tester that experiments the degree of an object to adhere.

UNSPSC 41113046 Adhesion tester is a Commodity code that does not align with actual state and local procurement activity in the recent opportunities block. The code's nominal scope — adhesion testing equipment — appears in none of the sixteen recent solicitations. Instead, the block shows purchases of optical surface profilometers, airfield photometric testing, drug discovery software licenses, three-phase electric meter test boards, high-voltage capacitance measurement modules, process instrumentation, water quality analyzers, laboratory sterilization equipment repair, atmospheric gas monitoring systems, nanoindentation equipment, spectrophotometers, transformer oil analysis services, and brake testing units. These acquisitions span material testing, electrical utility diagnostics, environmental monitoring, water treatment, and laboratory support — none of which require adhesion testing as a primary commodity or service line.

Issuing bodies in the block include state universities (Valencia College, Jackson State University, Texas State University, Texas A&M University System), municipal utilities (City of Ocala Electric Utility, City of Tampa Water Quality Laboratory, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Lubbock Power & Light), county agencies (Lee County Port Authority, Collier County Florida, Marion County Oregon), city procurement offices (City of Phoenix, City of Orlando), a state patrol division (Colorado State Patrol), and a state health department (Texas DSHS). The code shows no clear repeat pattern or concentration among buyer types. Geographic activity spans Florida, Texas, Colorado, Oregon, Arizona, and Mississippi. Given the mismatch between the code's stated scope and the actual work being solicited, this code warrants careful review before allocation of business development resources — the recent opportunities reflect misclassification or data quality issues rather than genuine adhesion tester demand from state and local procurement offices.
