UNSPSC 41114517: Hydraulic bulge tester

A tester that tests the hydraulic formation of think plate. It is generally used in processing of narrow mouth impossible for mechanical press work or thin plate with thin thickness.

UNSPSC 41114517 Hydraulic bulge tester, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity that aligns with the code's nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code involve laboratory testing services, materials testing and inspection, electrical meter test boards, servo-hydraulic fatigue testing equipment, lock-in amplifiers, and water treatment plant construction—none of which constitute hydraulic bulge testing equipment or services. The mismatch between the code designation and the actual work being solicited suggests either inconsistent UNSPSC tagging by issuing bodies or a divergence between the code's intended scope and current procurement practice in this category.

The geographic spread across recent opportunities spans multiple states including Oregon, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, and others, reflecting a diverse issuing-body mix that includes county health departments (Marion County, Oregon), state health agencies (Texas DSHS), municipal utilities (City of Tampa, Lubbock Power & Light, City of Ocala), transit authorities (Broward County Transportation), water utilities (City of Palm Bay), and higher-education institutions (Texas A&M University, Lamar University). Representative recent solicitations include Marion County, Oregon's ITB for laboratory testing and phlebotomy services due July 24, 2026; the Texas Department of State Health Services' IFB for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance with bids due July 6, 2026; and the City of Ocala's RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board with proposals due April 30, 2026. Because the code shows no recent opportunities for hydraulic bulge testing equipment or services themselves, vendors targeting this specific commodity should verify the correct UNSPSC classification with potential customers before pursuing opportunities tagged under 41114517.
