UNSPSC 41113056: Flame experiment wire

A material that is used in the reaction experiment of the oxidizing flame.

UNSPSC 41113056 Flame experiment wire is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities posted under this code show a significant mismatch between the nominal taxonomy name and actual procurement activity. State and local buyers are not acquiring flame experiment wire; instead, opportunities tagged to this code span laboratory testing services, equipment repair and maintenance, scientific instrumentation procurement, and materials testing for construction and utility operations. Marion County, Oregon solicited laboratory testing and phlebotomy services for adults in custody; the Texas Department of State Health Services sought annual repair and maintenance for laboratory equipment including washers, sterilization units, and steam generators; the City of Tampa requested a spectrophotometer replacement; Lubbock Power & Light pursued annual insulating oil testing and laboratory services for electrical equipment; and multiple other jurisdictions sought specialized testing systems, meters, and analytical equipment. The issuing bodies include state health departments, county governments, city utilities, transit authorities, and public universities across a broad geographic footprint.

This code shows activity from scattered issuing bodies across multiple states and sectors with no concentrated buyer pattern. Recent opportunities come from Oregon, Texas (multiple jurisdictions), Florida (Tampa, Orlando, Palm Bay), Connecticut, Colorado (Lubbock), and Texas education institutions. The most recent solicitations include Marion County's ITB for laboratory and phlebotomy services (due July 24, 2026), the Texas Department of State Health Services IFB for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance (due July 6, 2026, with historical annual values of $25,050 to $40,000), Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for insulating oil testing services (due July 22, 2026), and the City of Tampa's RFQ for a spectrophotometer (due June 12, 2026). The code's nominal scope—flame experiment wire—does not reflect what state and local government actually buys under this classification, suggesting a taxonomic misalignment that may limit its utility for supplier targeting in this segment.
