UNSPSC 41114523: Test bar

A taper gauge that is the auxiliary tool to use in the static level test that surveys the parallelism and straightness of machine tool, measuring apparatus and others and shaking on the rotating shaft.

UNSPSC 41114523 Test bar is a Commodity code that covers laboratory testing services, equipment repair and maintenance, and analytical instruments used across state and local health departments, utilities, water authorities, and educational institutions. State and local governments procure under this code for clinical laboratory services including phlebotomy and specimen analysis, preventive and emergency maintenance for specialized laboratory equipment such as sterilization units and analyzers, replacement of worn analytical instruments like spectrophotometers, and comprehensive oil-testing services for electrical equipment. Recent solicitations reflect this range: Marion County, Oregon issued an ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy for adults in custody (due July 24, 2026); the Texas Department of State Health Services solicited repair and maintenance for laboratory washers and sterilizers at its South Texas Laboratory (due July 6, 2026, with historical annual values of $25,050 to $40,000); and Lubbock Power & Light requested proposals for insulating oil testing and analysis services across approximately 20 substations, with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation required (due July 22, 2026). Other recent activity includes the City of Tampa procuring a replacement Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer (RFQ, due June 12, 2026), the City of Orlando purchasing technical support for a FIAnalyzer-3000 System via sole source (May 11, 2026), and the County of Santa Clara issuing a Request for Information for a lab information management system replacement (due April 22, 2026).

Activity under this code is dispersed across state health departments, county governments, cities, special-purpose districts (transit authorities, water utilities, electric utilities), and universities. Recent opportunities span Texas (DSHS, Lubbock Power & Light, Texas A&M University), Florida (Tampa, Orlando, Palm Bay), Oregon (Marion County), Connecticut (Waterford), and California (Santa Clara), with no single jurisdiction appearing as a dominant repeat buyer in the recent block. Utilities and water authorities represent a notable segment of current demand, particularly for equipment maintenance and specialized analytical services. The geographic spread and diversity of issuing bodies suggest the code carries steady, fragmented activity with no clear concentration in a single state or jurisdiction type. Vendors should note that recent opportunities emphasize specialized certifications (ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for oil-testing labs, OEM certifications for equipment maintenance, ACI and AWS credentials for materials testing) and fixed-price contracts with strict insurance and compliance requirements typical of public-sector procurement.
