UNSPSC 41113619: Galvanometers

UNSPSC 41113619 Galvanometers is a Commodity code covering precision optical measurement instruments, though recent state and local procurement activity shows limited scope under this designation. Valencia College in Florida posted a Notice of Intended Sole Source purchase in October 2026 for a PGI Optics CORE Optical Surface Profilometer (part number M112-215821) supplied by Taylor Hobson (Ametek). The equipment supports the college's Precision Optics class within its Advanced Science and Technology curriculum, enabling students to measure and analyze surface malformations of optical lenses during manufacturing processes. The college asserts the specific equipment model is the only option compatible with its existing laboratory setup and teaching methodology. The procurement is authorized under Florida Administrative Code 6A-14.0734(2)(a)(h) and Florida Statute 287.057, with no contract value or formal evaluation criteria disclosed.

The recent opportunity record shows minimal activity in this Commodity code among state and local issuers. Valencia College represents the only identified recent buyer, posting a sole-source notice with a seven business day posting period and no pre-bid meeting, site visit, or formal response deadline beyond the internal posting window required by the college's procurement procedures. No other state or local issuing bodies appear in the source material, and geographic concentration is not determinable from a single opportunity. The source provides no information on whether this code generates broader procurement activity across other jurisdictions or whether optical measurement equipment is solicited more regularly under alternative UNSPSC classifications.
