UNSPSC 41113052: Chalking tester

A tester that measures the chalking phenomenon that drops the pigment or paint powder when the dried surface is rubbed after painting or printing.

UNSPSC 41113052 Chalking tester is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local contract opportunities tagged under it. The source shows solicitations for laboratory testing services (Marion County, Oregon), laboratory equipment repair and maintenance (Texas DSHS), spectrophotometers and oil analysis systems (City of Tampa and Lubbock Power & Light), and materials testing and inspection for construction (Town of Waterford, Connecticut)—none of which involve chalking testers as the code's name suggests. The tagged opportunities span public health, utilities, water treatment, and construction inspection work that rely on specialized test equipment and laboratory analysis capabilities rather than products or services within the chalking tester commodity family. This mismatch indicates the code is either misapplied to these solicitations or sees minimal relevant activity at the state and local level.

Issuing bodies include state health agencies (Texas DSHS), municipal utilities (City of Tampa, Lubbock Power & Light, City of Ocala), county transportation and water authorities (Broward County Transportation Department, City of Palm Bay), county toll road authorities (Harris County Toll Road Authority), and smaller jurisdictions (Town of Waterford, Connecticut; Marion County, Oregon). The recent opportunities are geographically distributed across Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Oregon, and other states, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. The code shows no standout repeat buyers or recurring procurement patterns. Because the opportunities tagged under UNSPSC 41113052 do not address chalking testers or related testing equipment, business development professionals should verify whether this code is the correct classification for their offering or whether the recent solicitations represent misfiled opportunities that do not reflect authentic demand under this commodity.
