UNSPSC 41114632: Tensile strength tester

A tester that applies the load until the specimen is pulled in certain speed to break down. This is to measure the tensile strength, most representative mechanical strength characteristic in various materials.

UNSPSC 41114632 Tensile strength tester is a Commodity code that does not map cleanly to the recent state and local procurement opportunities provided. The source shows no solicitations for tensile strength testers or related materials testing equipment under this code. Recent opportunities tagged with this code instead include laboratory testing services for inmate populations (Marion County, Oregon), laboratory equipment repair and maintenance for sterilization and washing units (Texas DSHS), spectrophotometer procurement (City of Tampa), insulating oil testing services for electrical equipment (Lubbock Power & Light), and landscape architectural engineering services unrelated to materials testing. These divergent procurements suggest either classification inconsistency in the underlying solicitation database or that the code has seen limited genuine activity in materials science instrumentation.

The single opportunity with plausible relevance—the City of Tampa's spectrophotometer procurement (RFQ 26-P-00372, due June 12, 2026)—is a direct replacement of an existing analytical instrument at a waste-to-energy facility rather than a tensile strength testing system. Across the broader opportunity set, issuing bodies include state health agencies, county transportation departments, municipal utilities, and special districts; geographic spread spans Texas, Oregon, Florida, and Connecticut. Given the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual posted opportunities, this code shows little actionable activity for firms pursuing tensile strength testing equipment procurement at the state and local level right now.
