UNSPSC 41114710: Thermal transmittance tester

A tester that measures the degree of maintaining the body temperature or heat transfer coefficient on the external air, namely, thermokeeping of the textile goods, such as textile for clothes, filling cotton, blanket, rug, leather and others.

UNSPSC 41114710 Thermal transmittance tester is a Commodity code that spans precision laboratory and field testing equipment for optical surfaces, electrical systems, fluid properties, and airfield infrastructure — goods that state and local governments acquire to support operations, teaching, and compliance functions rather than for direct public service delivery. State and local buyers under this code include higher-education institutions (Valencia College, Jackson State University, Texas State University), municipal utilities (City of Ocala Electric Utility, Kissimmee Utility Authority, City of Tampa Water Reclamation Enterprises, Lubbock Power & Light), county water and wastewater authorities (Collier County, Lee County Port Authority), state health agencies (Texas DSHS), and city departments (City of Phoenix Water Services). Recent solicitations show a mix of sole-source procurements for specialized software and monitoring equipment, fixed-price IFBs and RFQs for precision test hardware, and RFPs for service agreements. Sole-source activity reflects both single-source vendor relationships (Schrodinger drug-discovery software at Jackson State University, Tekmar TOC analyzer at City of Tampa, FIAnalyzer-3000 at City of Orlando) and equipment tied to existing infrastructure compatibility (OMICRON testing modules at Kissimmee Utility Authority, Siemens process instrumentation at Collier County).

Geographic activity clusters in Florida (Valencia College in Orlando, Lee County Port Authority, City of Tampa, Kissimmee Utility Authority, Collier County) and extends across Texas (Jackson State University, Texas DSHS in Harlingen, Texas State University, Lubbock Power & Light), with additional recent opportunities in Arizona (City of Phoenix), Oregon (Marion County), and Colorado (Colorado State Patrol). Representative solicitations include the City of Ocala Electric Utility's RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board system (RFP #ELE/260570, due April 30, 2026) with best-value scoring on qualifications, technical compliance, and price; Lee County Port Authority's request for airfield photometric testing services at Southwest Florida International Airport (IFB 2026115BW, due October 29, 2026) covering runway and taxiway lighting system performance under FAA standards; and Texas DSHS's IFB for laboratory equipment repair and maintenance at the South Texas Laboratory in Harlingen (IFB HHS0017421, most recent posting June 29, 2026, bids due July 6, 2026, with historical annual contract values ranging $25,050 to $40,000). Pricing structures vary from firm-fixed service rates over multi-year terms to lump-sum equipment purchases with optional renewals, and contract values range from under $250,000 for individual test modules to $65,318.25 for multi-year software licenses.
