UNSPSC 41114644: Concrete air measuring instrument

A testing instrument that measures the air volume contained in the concrete yet to be solidified.

UNSPSC 41114644 Concrete air measuring instrument is a Commodity code that spans a narrow and fragmented class of precision testing and measurement equipment purchased by state and local government for specialized laboratory, utility, and facility operations. The recent opportunities tagged under this code show minimal direct relevance to concrete air measurement — instead, they reflect a broader portfolio of scientific, environmental, and utility-grade instrumentation used for water quality testing, electrical metering, drug discovery research, airfield safety, and equipment diagnostics. Valencia College's sole-source procurement for a PGI Optics CORE Optical Surface Profilometer, the City of Ocala Electric Utility's RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board, Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for precision high-voltage test equipment, and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB for atmospheric monitoring instruments all represent the kinds of specialized measurement and diagnostic systems state and local government agencies acquire under codes in this taxonomy tier. The mix of issuing bodies includes municipal utilities, county port authorities, state universities, state health agencies, and city water quality laboratories — a diverse set of users with no dominant buyer profile.

The code shows recent activity concentrated in Florida, Texas, and Arizona, with secondary activity in Colorado and Oregon. Representative solicitations include Lee County Port Authority's RFQ and subsequent RFP for airfield photometric testing (due October 29, 2026 and October 14, 2026 respectively), the City of Ocala Electric Utility's RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board (responses due April 30, 2026), the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB for atmospheric monitoring instruments (offers due September 4, 2026), and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission's procurement on behalf of the Department of State Health Services for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance (bids due August 26, 2026). The source material does not support substantial bidding activity or dollar value concentration, and the code's nominal scope — concrete air measuring instruments — appears misaligned with the instrumentation actually being procured. Vendors targeting this code should verify alignment with specific utility, laboratory, or environmental measurement needs rather than assume concrete-specific applications.
