UNSPSC 41113825: Soil aggregate analyzer

A type of device that is designed to measure the aggregation as the physical property of soil.

UNSPSC 41113825 Soil aggregate analyzer is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory testing and field inspection services for soil, construction materials, and specialized equipment testing — work state and local governments procure to verify material quality, structural integrity, and compliance with design specifications during construction and infrastructure maintenance. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers seeking materials testing firms, specialized testing equipment suppliers, and engineering consultants to conduct concrete compressive strength testing, soil compaction verification, reinforcing steel and welded connections inspection, electrical equipment oil analysis, and cone penetrometer testing for geotechnical characterization. Issuing bodies span state transportation departments (Michigan Department of Transportation), municipal utilities (City of Key West operating as Keys Energy Services), cities (City of Orlando, Town of Waterford, Connecticut), and special-purpose districts (Harris County Flood Control District), with municipalities and districts emerging as repeat buyers seeking on-call or project-specific materials testing services. The scope ranges from equipment procurement — such as truck-mounted cone penetrometer systems with data acquisition and soil sampling capability — to contracted field and laboratory services including sample collection, testing per ASTM specifications, certification and reporting, and on-site inspections throughout construction phases.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Key West utility procurement and Orlando stadium renovation), the Upper Midwest (Michigan Department of Transportation), Texas (Harris County Flood Control District), and Connecticut (Town of Waterford), reflecting construction activity and infrastructure maintenance programs across regions. Representative recent solicitations include the Michigan Department of Transportation's RFP 260000002268, due July 16, 2026, seeking a truck-mounted Cone Penetrometer Test sounding unit with specified hydraulic capacity, data acquisition systems, and soil sampling equipment; the Town of Waterford's RFP26009, closed May 5, 2026, for Special Inspector and materials testing services covering soil, concrete, steel, masonry, and fire protection inspections at a new fire station; Harris County Flood Control District's RFSQ 260032, due March 2, 2026, for on-call construction materials engineering and testing services on a qualification basis supporting stormwater and channel projects; and Keys Energy Services' electrical insulating oil testing procurement (RFP 1026, due April 17, 2026) for annual sampling and laboratory analysis of power transformer and voltage regulator units. Award mechanisms vary — low-price sealed bids for equipment, firm-fixed unit-price contracts for recurring inspection and testing services, and qualification-based selection for on-call engineering support.
