UNSPSC 41114708: Water vapor permeability tester

A tester that measures the volume of vapor or moisture penetrating paper, film, or textile product used for the moisture proof packing.

UNSPSC 41114708 Water vapor permeability tester is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in recent state and local procurement activity. The recent opportunities tagged with this code span laboratory testing services, equipment repair and maintenance, spectrophotometer replacement, oil analysis and transformer diagnostics, materials testing and inspection for construction, laboratory information management systems, meter test boards, water treatment plant wells, fatigue testing systems, and lock-in amplifiers—none of which align with water vapor permeability testing. The issuing bodies include state health departments, counties, cities, transit authorities, universities, and special-purpose districts such as Lubbock Power & Light, but the scope mismatch suggests the code assignment is either erroneous or reflects a broader taxonomy issue rather than consistent procurement activity in this commodity.

Geographic activity spans Texas (Texas Department of State Health Services, Lubbock Power & Light, Lamar University, Texas A&M University System), Florida (City of Tampa, City of Orlando, City of Palm Bay, Broward County Transportation Department), Oregon (Marion County), Connecticut (Town of Waterford), California (County of Santa Clara), and other states. Representative recent opportunities include Marion County, Oregon's ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy (due July 24, 2026), Texas DSHS's IFB for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance services (due July 6, 2026), the City of Tampa's RFQ for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer replacement (due June 12, 2026), and Lubbock Power & Light's RFP for annual insulating oil testing laboratory services (due July 22, 2026). The code does not appear to support meaningful business development focus based on the divergence between its nominal scope and actual recent procurement activity.
