UNSPSC 41114527: Belt tester

A tester that is designed to test the characteristics of V belt that is used for delivering the vehicle power and general power.

UNSPSC 41114527 Belt tester is a Commodity code that encompasses precision testing and measurement equipment for industrial and laboratory applications, though recent state and local procurement activity shows minimal direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. The opportunities posted under this code span electric utility metering systems (three-phase meter test boards and photometric testing equipment), laboratory instrumentation (spectrophotometers, nanoindenter systems, drug discovery software platforms, and optical surface profilometers), water quality analysis (TOC analyzers and oil testing services), environmental monitoring (atmospheric hazard detection systems), brake testing equipment, and technical service agreements for specialized analyzers. Issuing bodies include city utilities and water departments (Tampa, Ocala, Phoenix, Orlando, Lubbock Power & Light), state and local universities (Valencia College, Jackson State University, Texas State University, Texas A&M University System), county governments (Marion County Oregon, Collier County Florida, Lee County Florida), state health agencies (Texas DSHS), and transit authorities (Colorado State Patrol). Most recent opportunities reflect competitive procurements (RFP, RFQ, IFB, ITB) rather than sole-source acquisitions, though several notices of intended single-source purchases appear in the data, particularly for software licenses and manufacturer-specific replacement parts and service.

Geographic activity centers on Texas (DSHS laboratory services, Lubbock Power & Light oil testing, Texas A&M and Texas State procurement), Florida (Valencia College optical equipment, Collier County process instrumentation, Lee County Port Authority photometric testing, City of Tampa water quality and waste-to-energy equipment, City of Orlando water reclamation systems), and Colorado (state patrol brake testing). Representative recent solicitations include the City of Ocala's RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board (RFPELE260570, due April 30, 2026) specifying 0.04% accuracy with optional higher precision and support for meter forms 1S through 16S; Lee County Port Authority's competitive RFQ for airfield photometric testing at Southwest Florida International Airport (2026115BW, due October 29, 2026), requiring FAA-compliant measurement of runway and taxiway lighting with Excel reporting; Texas DSHS's IFB for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance (HHS0017421V2, due August 26, 2026) covering sterilization and washing equipment at the South Texas Laboratory with estimated annual costs of $25,050 to $40,000; and the City of Phoenix's IFB for atmospheric monitoring instruments—fixed installations (IFB-27-0435, due September 4, 2026) for hazardous-gas detection at water and wastewater facilities with a five-year contract term and DBE participation requirements under 49 CFR Part 26. The code shows substantial diversity in end-use applications and a mix of competitive procurement processes alongside sole-source awards for proprietary equipment and OEM-specific service contracts.
