UNSPSC 41114607: Ductility testing machines

UNSPSC 41114607 Ductility testing machines (Commodity) does not reflect the actual scope of work being solicited under recent state and local contract opportunities. The recent opportunities in the dataset are predominantly for construction engineering, inspection, materials testing coordination, and professional engineering services—not the procurement of ductility testing equipment itself. A single recent opportunity from the Illinois Department of Transportation involves procurement of materials testing machines (compression machines, CVN testers, concrete mixers, and asphalt density gauges), but these represent specialized laboratory and field testing equipment for state transportation materials programs rather than ductility testing per se. The code shows minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal commodity definition.

State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code tier include state departments of transportation (Illinois DOT, Georgia DOT), county and municipal public works departments (Harris County Flood Control District, Jackson County Water and Sewerage Authority, City of Austin), and educational institutions (Alvin College). Geographic spread includes Georgia, Illinois, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Michigan, Kentucky, and New Mexico. Representative recent opportunities are Illinois DOT's procurements for a Materials Large Bed Compression Machine (due June 15, 2026, rebid), a Small Bed Compression Machine for plastic pipe testing (due June 18, 2026, rebid), and a CVN Tester for impact testing of anchor bolts and bridge rail products (due February 11, 2026, rebid). The actual procurement activity under this code reflects capital equipment for public-sector materials testing laboratories and field quality assurance programs rather than ductility testing machine acquisition specifically. Firms pursuing this code should focus on state transportation and water authority materials testing equipment replacement cycles and the rebid activity typical of state DOT laboratory modernization efforts.
