UNSPSC 41113826: Soil texture analyzer

Equipment that is designed to measure accurately the soil texture for the users.

UNSPSC 41113826 Soil texture analyzer (Commodity) covers construction materials testing and inspection services for geotechnical and structural work, though recent state and local solicitations reveal that the category encompasses a broader range of materials engineering services than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments procure comprehensive materials testing under this code, including soil compaction and placement testing, concrete strength and curing verification, reinforcing steel and welded structural inspections using ultrasonic and magnetic particle testing, electrical insulating oil testing and analysis, and specialized geotechnical instrumentation such as truck-mounted cone penetrometer systems. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, municipal utilities, county flood control districts, cities, towns, and special-purpose districts. The Michigan Department of Transportation, Town of Waterford Connecticut, City of Key West (operating as Keys Energy Services), City of Orlando, and Harris County Flood Control District all posted opportunities under or closely aligned with this code within the past six months, indicating active demand across diverse public agencies.

Recent activity spans Michigan, Connecticut, Florida, and Texas. The Michigan Department of Transportation solicited a truck-mounted cone penetrometer test sounding unit on RFP 260000002268 with a response deadline of July 16, 2026, requiring a newly manufactured 20-ton system with specified push/pull capacity and integrated data acquisition for geotechnical site investigation. The Town of Waterford, Connecticut issued RFP26009 on April 21, 2026 (due May 5, 2026) for special inspector and materials testing services throughout construction of a new fire station, including soil placement tests, concrete compressive strength verification at 7 and 28 days, reinforcing steel and structural welded steel field inspections, and masonry and cold-formed metal framing inspections. The Harris County Flood Control District in Texas released a qualification-based RFSQ 260032 (due March 2, 2026) for on-call construction materials engineering and testing services supporting stormwater detention basins, channel repairs, and occasional bridge and roadway work, with firms required to hold professional engineering licensure and A2LA certification. Keys Energy Services in Key West, Florida solicited electrical insulating oil testing services (RFP 0426 and 1026) for power transformer and voltage regulator equipment under separate three-year term contracts with annual and biannual testing cycles.
