UNSPSC 41113904: Penetrometers

UNSPSC 41113904 Penetrometers is a Commodity code whose recent state and local procurement activity does not align with the code's nominal scope. The three posted opportunities record erosion control services (hydroseeding and soil stabilization at landfill sites), landfill cover material procurement, and law enforcement equipment — none of which involve penetrometers or soil-testing instrumentation. The mismatch suggests either misclassification in the issuing bodies' tagging systems or that the code carries atypical procurement use in state and local markets. Without recent opportunities reflecting actual penetrometer procurement, this code shows little actionable activity for vendors supplying soil-penetration testing instruments.

The geographic and issuing-body spread captured in the recent postings includes Sacramento County (California), the City of Savannah (Georgia), and Sourcewell (a Minnesota cooperative serving multiple Washington State counties and broader public entities across the United States and Canada). However, none of these represent penetrometer demand. Sacramento County's RFB #2026RFB0049 closed June 11, 2026, for erosion control hydroseeding services at multiple landfill facilities; the City of Savannah's Event No. 12445 solicited landfill cover material with a due date of August 4, 2026; and Sourcewell's RFP #061626, due June 16, 2026, established a cooperative purchasing vehicle for law enforcement equipment. The absence of penetrometer-specific opportunities in this recent window indicates that either the code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices or that buyers are tagging such work under different UNSPSC classifications.
