UNSPSC 41114642: Pinhole detector

A device that detects and warns the occurrence of defective pin hole on the insulation film and others coated to prevent the corrosion of the metal surface.

UNSPSC 41114642 Pinhole detector is a Commodity code that encompasses precision optical measurement and testing equipment used by state and local governments in laboratory, utility, and airport settings. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers procuring optical surface profilometers for precision optics education, high-voltage capacitance measurement modules for utility electrical testing, atmospheric monitoring instruments for water and wastewater facilities, spectrophotometers for waste-to-energy operations, and photometric testing services for airfield lighting systems. The code also captures sole-source notices for specialized scientific analysis software platforms and laboratory equipment repair agreements. Issuing bodies include higher education institutions (Valencia College, Jackson State University, Texas State University, Texas A&M University System), utility authorities (Kissimmee Utility Authority, Lee County Port Authority, Lubbock Power & Light, City of Ocala Electric Utility, City of Tampa), county and city governments (Collier County, City of Phoenix, Marion County, Colorado State Patrol), and state health agencies (Texas Department of State Health Services). Educational institutions and municipal utilities dominate the activity.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, and Oregon. Representative solicitations include Valencia College's sole-source notice (October 2026) for a PGI Optics CORE Optical Surface Profilometer to support precision optics coursework; Lee County Port Authority's request for quotations (October 2026, due October 29) for comprehensive airfield photometric testing of runway and taxiway lighting at Southwest Florida International Airport under a three-year contract; Kissimmee Utility Authority's invitation for bids (September 2026, due September 22) for an OMICRON CP TD12 precision high-voltage capacitance and power/dissipation factor measurement module under IFB 26046JG; City of Ocala Electric Utility's RFP (September 2026, due April 30) for a fully integrated Three-Phase Meter Test Board system with best-value evaluation weighting qualifications 25 percent, technical compliance 50 percent, and price 25 percent; City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB (August 2026, due September 4) for atmospheric monitoring instruments to detect hazardous gases at water and wastewater facilities with a five-year term and DBE-N participation requirement; and Texas Department of State Health Services' IFB (June 2026, due July 6) for annual laboratory equipment repair and maintenance services for sterilization and washing equipment in Harlingen, with historical annual costs ranging from $25,050 to $40,000. Sole-source designations appear frequently, particularly for manufacturer-specific equipment and software platforms where technical integration or proprietary certification is required.
