UNSPSC 41114630: Thermal shock tester

A tester that is designed to measure the change of material from the thermal stress arising from quick heating or quick freezing.

UNSPSC 41114630 Thermal shock tester is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure precision laboratory and industrial testing equipment under this code, though recent opportunities show limited direct alignment with the nominal code scope. The Valencia College sole-source notice for a PGI Optics CORE Optical Surface Profilometer reflects procurement of optical measurement equipment for precision manufacturing education, while the Lee County Port Authority's airfield photometric testing RFQ involves field-deployed mobile photometric systems for runway and taxiway lighting compliance. The Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for a precision high-voltage capacitance measurement module (OMICRON CP TD12) and the City of Ocala Electric Utility's RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board represent procurement of electrical system diagnostics and testing equipment. These solicitations span educational institutions, municipal utilities, and port authorities across Florida and other jurisdictions, reflecting a dispersed buyer base rather than concentrated procurement through a single class of issuer.

Recent activity under this code is geographically concentrated in Florida, with secondary opportunities from Texas and other states. The City of Ocala Electric Utility's RFP for the Three-Phase Meter Test Board (due April 30, 2026) is structured as a best-value competitive procurement with 100-point evaluation criteria split among firm qualifications (25 points), technical system capability (50 points), and price (25 points), with lump-sum pricing submission required. The Lee County Port Authority issued an RFQ for airfield photometric testing at Southwest Florida International Airport with a response date of October 29, 2026, specifying a three-year contract term and requiring $5 million commercial general liability insurance, compliance with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5345-46E, and delivery of results in Microsoft Excel and Word formats. Valencia College posted a sole-source notice for the optical surface profilometer on October 19, 2026, with a seven-business-day challenge period. The Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for the OMICRON testing module module (due September 22, 2026) was structured as a straightforward single-unit procurement under $250,000 with no performance bonds required.
