UNSPSC 41113910: Soil testing kits

UNSPSC 41113910 Soil testing kits (Commodity) encompasses the equipment, services, and consumables that state and local governments procure to conduct geotechnical and materials testing during infrastructure construction and maintenance — including truck-mounted cone penetrometer systems, materials testing and inspection services for new construction, electrical insulating oil sampling and laboratory testing, and on-call construction materials engineering and testing support. State and local buyers include state transportation departments, municipal public works and utility authorities, town governments, county flood-control districts, and city capital improvement programs. The code sees activity across a diverse issuing-body mix with no single dominant buyer.

Recent opportunities reflect the breadth of testing scope under this code. The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is soliciting proposals for a truck-mounted Cone Penetrometer Test sounding unit (RFP 260000002268, due July 16, 2026), requiring a newly manufactured 20-ton system with integrated data acquisition and soil sampling capability for subsurface characterization. The Town of Waterford, Connecticut released an RFP for Special Inspector services and materials testing for new fire-station construction (RFP26009, due May 5, 2026), covering soil compaction, concrete testing, steel inspections, and masonry work throughout the project lifecycle. Keys Energy Services (City of Key West, Florida utility authority) has issued two separate RFPs for electrical insulating oil testing of power transformers and voltage regulators on multiyear contracts (RFP 1026, due April 17, 2026; RFP 0426, due February 23, 2026). The Harris County Flood Control District in Texas is recruiting on-call Construction Materials Engineering and Testing firms via qualification-based procurement (RFSQ 260032, due March 2, 2026) for stormwater detention, channel repair, and concrete-lined channel construction. Geographic activity concentrates in Michigan, Connecticut, Florida, and Texas, with demonstrated ongoing activity in spring and early summer 2026.
