UNSPSC 41114638: Load tester

Equipment that is designed to measure the load working on the structure. This is the load tester of flexural fracture for pressed cement roof tile or fiber reinforced cement boards.

UNSPSC 41114638 Load tester, Commodity tier, encompasses precision measurement and testing equipment that state and local governments procure to validate electrical, optical, and mechanical system performance — including high-voltage test modules, optical surface profilometers, spectrophotometers, meter test boards, brake testers, and specialized laboratory analyzers. Recent solicitations show universities, utility authorities, water districts, and county governments acquiring single-unit or small-quantity precision instruments through sole-source notices, RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs, often replacing or expanding existing lab infrastructure rather than building programs from scratch. Work under the code spans equipment replacement, initial deployment at new facilities, preventive maintenance and repair services bundled with hardware, and technical support agreements tied to proprietary systems.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida — with recent opportunities from the City of Tampa (Tekmar Fusion TOC analyzer parts and repair, estimated $25,000 over 12 months; Heck DR4900 spectrophotometer for McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility), the City of Ocala Electric Utility (three-phase meter test board RFP, proposals due April 30, 2026), Kissimmee Utility Authority (OMICRON high-voltage test module IFB, bids due September 22, 2026), Lee County Port Authority (airfield photometric testing RFQ and e-quote, due dates August 20 and October 29, 2026), and Valencia College (PGI Optics CORE optical surface profilometer sole-source notice) — alongside activity in Texas (Texas State University nanoindenter system RFP, August 14, 2026; Texas A&M System National Instruments items ITB, August 19, 2026; Texas DSHS laboratory equipment repair and maintenance IFB, July 6, 2026 and August 26, 2026), Colorado (Colorado State Patrol in-ground brake tester sole-source from LINK Engineering, $176,902 estimated cost), Oregon (Marion County laboratory testing and phlebotomy ITB, July 24, 2026), and Arizona (City of Phoenix atmospheric monitoring instruments IFB, September 4, 2026). Jackson State University appears twice with identical five-year Schrodinger drug discovery software licenses ($65,318.25 total cost). Sole-source and single-source procurements dominate the recent pipeline, reflecting the specialized and often proprietary nature of precision lab and field testing equipment.
