UNSPSC 41114607: Ductility testing machines

UNSPSC 41114607 Ductility testing machines is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy materials testing equipment and calibration services under this code, including load cells, compression machines for plastic pipe and concrete, and precision measurement instruments for quality assurance in highway construction, utilities infrastructure, and materials research. The issuing bodies span state departments of transportation, city utilities and public works departments, water resource recovery authorities, and independent colleges. Georgia Department of Transportation and Illinois Department of Transportation appear repeatedly as active buyers, alongside municipal utilities authorities and transit construction programs.

Recent activity clusters in Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Michigan, and Florida. The Georgia Department of Transportation has solicited Independent Cost Estimator services for alternative delivery highway projects and Construction Engineering and Inspection services for state route grade separations and intersection work (RFQ PE48401RFQ2027000000632, due November 16, 2026; RFQ PE48401RFQ2027000000614, due August 17, 2026). The Illinois Department of Transportation has issued multiple rebids and new procurements for large and small bed compression machines for plastic pipe testing and pan concrete mixers for materials research (IFB 27494DOTFINADB53631, due September 9, 2026; rebid 27494DOTFINADB50643, due June 18, 2026). Kissimmee Utility Authority sought a precision high-voltage capacitance and tan delta measurement module compatible with existing test systems (IFB 26046JG, due September 22, 2026). Illinois also solicited ASTM E74 calibration services for load cells ranging from 1,000 to 500,000 lbf capacity (rebid 27494DOTFINADB53622, due September 15, 2026; small-business set-aside 26494DOTFINADB53251, due August 5, 2026). The City of Fort Myers issued an RSQ for material testing services on a continuing as-needed basis covering field investigations, laboratory testing, bituminous and concrete quality control, and aggregate inspections (RSQ 25-054, due May 23, 2025). Equipment procurement shows preference for newly manufactured machines with ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, NIST traceability, and technical compliance with ASTM and AASHTO standards; service contracts emphasize experienced personnel holding state professional certifications and valid testing credentials.
