UNSPSC 41113635: Calibrated resistance measuring equipment

UNSPSC 41113635 Calibrated resistance measuring equipment, a Commodity code, covers electrical testing and inspection services for protective safety equipment, as reflected in recent state and local solicitations focused on annual inspection, cleaning, and dielectric testing of rubber gloves, line guards, hot sticks, blankets, and related electrical safety gear. State and local governments procure under this code primarily through utility departments and transportation agencies seeking third-party laboratory certification and testing to verify equipment integrity and compliance with OSHA and ASTM standards. The City of Ocala Electric Utility and the Texas Department of Transportation represent the issuing-body mix, with municipal utilities and state departments of transportation driving activity. Vendors must hold accreditation from recognized test laboratories—notably NAILforPET (National Association of Independent Laboratories for Protective Equipment) certification or equivalent—and must provide end-to-end logistics including equipment pickup, delivery to certified laboratories, testing documentation, and return of tested items. Optional value-added services such as inventory management, glove rotation programs, and asset tracking appear in scope as contract line items.

Recent activity spans Texas and Florida. The City of Ocala issued RFQ ELE/260653 on September 28, 2026, for annual inspection and testing of electrical protective equipment and insulated rubber gloves, with quotations due May 11, 2026; the scope names approximately 30 distinct equipment types across multiple voltage classes, with unit costs and failure replacement pricing, a three-year initial term, and two optional one-year renewals capped at three percent annual price growth unless justified by CPI-U documentation. The Texas Department of Transportation posted RFO 601440000053454 on August 25, 2026, for digital RF wattmeters with carrying cases for the Austin District, responses due September 8, 2026, comprising 27 units of digital meters and 3 units of analog meters on an F.O.B. destination, firm-fixed-price basis with best-value evaluation. A prior TxDOT solicitation (601440000050521) for the same product line appeared in May 2026, suggesting recurring procurement cycles under this code.
