UNSPSC 41113819: Soil analyzer

A type of device that is designed to measure the chemical ingredient of lime, magnesium, potassium, fluorine, phosphorus and others contained in soil in ppm unit.

UNSPSC 41113819 Soil analyzer (Commodity) encompasses field and laboratory soil testing equipment and services that state and local governments purchase to support transportation, utility infrastructure, and water resource projects. Recent solicitations show soil analyzers are being acquired as standalone instruments—such as Proctor soil compactors with integrated soil analysis capability—and as components within larger systems, including phosphorus control equipment for wastewater treatment and cone penetrometer test (CPT) sounding units for geotechnical survey work. State and local buyers under this code include transportation departments, utilities, cities, and counties, with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the City of Orem, Utah, the City of Augusta, Georgia, and Henry County, Georgia appearing as active recent issuers. The work ranges from purchase of finished equipment (such as the Proctor compactor with soil analyzer that TxDOT is procuring) to procurement of comprehensive field and laboratory materials testing services that include soil classification, compaction testing, and density verification.

Recent activity is concentrated in the South and Upper Midwest, with Texas, Georgia, Michigan, Utah, and Florida posting solicitations within the past two months. TxDOT issued an IFB for a Proctor soil compactor with soil analyzer due October 27, 2026, requiring CMBL registration and submission via the Bonfire Hub platform with responses directed to Amanda Davenport at amanda.davenport@txdot.gov. The City of Augusta, Georgia and Henry County, Georgia each issued RFPs for on-call geotechnical testing services (including Modified Proctor tests, soil classification, and in-place density testing) with response dates of September 11, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively, both requiring GDOT prequalification. MDOT awarded a Notice of Intent for a truck-mounted CPT sounding unit to Applied Research Associates, Inc. at $1,011,529.00 on July 22, 2026, after soliciting proposals for specialized geotechnical equipment with delivery anticipated August 20, 2026. Keys Energy Services (Utility Board of the City of Key West, Florida) issued two separate RFPs for electrical insulating oil testing services—machinery condition monitoring that uses laboratory analysis equipment—with response dates of February 20, 2026 and April 17, 2026. The code shows steady procurement activity across state DOTs, municipal utilities, and county governments, with emphasis on field-deployable and laboratory testing capacity.
