UNSPSC 41114647: Slump tester

A tester that is used for concrete to measure the consistency of the concrete to make the appropriate concrete.

UNSPSC 41114647 Slump tester (Commodity) does not reflect the work state and local governments are actually soliciting under this code. The recent opportunities tagged to this Commodity span precision laboratory and field instruments — optical profilometers for optics education, airfield photometric testing equipment, high-voltage capacitance measurement modules, Three-Phase Meter Test boards for electric utility metering, spectrophotometers for water quality analysis, insulating oil testing laboratory services, atmospheric hazard monitoring sensors, and nanoindentation systems for materials testing. None of these instruments are concrete slump testers used in civil construction or building materials inspection. The code assignment appears to be a cataloging error in the source data, as the opportunities involve specialized diagnostic and testing equipment across education, utilities, environmental monitoring, and laboratory analysis rather than a single product line.

The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal utilities (City of Ocala Electric Utility, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Lee County Port Authority, City of Tampa Water and Solid Waste divisions), state agencies (Texas DSHS, Colorado State Patrol), higher education institutions (Valencia College, Jackson State University, Texas State University, Texas A&M University System), county governments (Collier County, Marion County), and municipal procurement offices (City of Phoenix, City of Orlando, Lubbock Power & Light). The geographic spread spans Florida (multiple utilities and colleges), Texas (state health, universities, electric cooperative), Colorado (state patrol), Arizona (Phoenix), and Oregon (Marion County). Recent solicitations include Kissimmee Utility Authority's IFB for precision high-voltage measurement modules (due September 22, 2026), City of Ocala Electric Utility's RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board system (due April 30, 2026), Lee County Port Authority's RFQ for airfield photometric testing at Southwest Florida International Airport (due October 29, 2026), and Texas DSHS's IFB for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance services (due August 26, 2026). Given the mismatch between the code definition and procurement activity, this code appears inactive for its intended commodity and should be re-evaluated for accurate classification.
