UNSPSC 41113736: Electronic and communication refractometer

A meter that is designed to measure the ratio with the phase velocity of wave in free space and the phase velocity of wave in the given medium space.

UNSPSC 41113736 Electronic and communication refractometer is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment with recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes optical or electronic refractometry instruments used to measure refractive index or composition in laboratory or industrial settings, yet the nine most recent opportunities tagged to this code span airport vending concessions, water meter replacement and reclaimed water metering, power transformers, law enforcement equipment, battery backup systems, career technical education instructional resources, electromechanical test systems, and airport parking management—none of which are refractometer-related instruments or services. The mismatch suggests either persistent miscoding by posting agencies or misalignment between the UNSPSC taxonomy and how issuing bodies are categorizing procurements in their systems.

The recent opportunities originate from Texas municipalities (City of McKinney, City of Lubbock), Georgia county government (Fulton County), Florida county utilities (Collier County Public Utilities), a Minnesota-based state cooperative purchasing vehicle (Sourcewell), Nevada state procurement (Nevada Department of Human Services), a Texas school district (Klein Independent School District in Harris County), and a Mississippi higher-education institution (Jackson State University). No state and local procurements actually seeking refractometer equipment or services appear in the available recent record, indicating the code is either dormant or consistently miscoded at the point of solicitation posting. Business development professionals should verify the actual UNSPSC coding in any state or local RFP, RFQ, IFB, or ITB before relying on this code as a signal of procurement demand.
