UNSPSC 41113816: Consolidation tester

A tester that is used for the consolidation test that seeks the compression volume and compression speed when piling load, permitting the drainage toward the axis direction and restricting the soil surface.

UNSPSC 41113816 Consolidation tester is a Commodity code that encompasses soil testing and materials inspection equipment and services — specifically truck-mounted cone penetrometer systems, construction materials testing and inspection across concrete, steel, masonry, and soil applications, and electrical insulating oil sampling and laboratory analysis for utility equipment. State and local governments buying under this code include transportation departments, municipal utilities, cities, counties, and special-purpose districts. The Michigan Department of Transportation, the Utility Board of the City of Key West operating as Keys Energy Services, the Town of Waterford Connecticut, the City of Orlando, and the Harris County Flood Control District have all posted solicitations under this code in recent months, reflecting a buyer base spanning transportation, water and electric utilities, municipal facilities, and flood control.

The code shows activity across Michigan, Florida, Connecticut, and Texas. Recent representative opportunities include the Michigan Department of Transportation's June 2026 RFP for a truck-mounted Cone Penetrometer Test sounding unit with response due July 16, 2026, specifying newly manufactured equipment with 40,000 lb. push capacity and integrated data acquisition systems; the Town of Waterford, Connecticut's April 2026 RFP for Special Testing Inspector and materials testing services for the Oswegatchie Fire Station with response due May 5, 2026, covering soil, concrete, steel, masonry, and fire protection system inspections throughout construction; Keys Energy Services' April 2026 RFQ for electrical insulating oil testing with response due April 17, 2026, requiring annual sampling and laboratory testing of 28 power transformer units and 13 load tap changer compartments; and the Harris County Flood Control District's January 2026 RFSQ for on-call construction materials engineering and testing services with response due March 2, 2026, governed by Texas qualification-based procurement rules and supporting stormwater detention, channel, and bridge projects. The code shows steady activity in infrastructure testing and inspection across transportation, utilities, and municipal construction throughout 2026.
