UNSPSC 41114722: Tearing strength tester

A tester that measures the strength of tearing by applying certain load on textile, paper, vinyl, leather and others.

UNSPSC 41114722 Tearing strength tester, a Commodity code, does not align with state and local procurement activity found in recent solicitations. The nine most recent opportunities tagged to this code—spanning laboratory services, equipment repair and maintenance, spectrophotometers, oil testing, landscape architecture, technical support agreements, vehicle charging infrastructure maintenance, materials testing inspection, lab information systems, meter test boards, water well construction, fatigue testing systems, and lock-in amplifiers—cover no tearing strength testing equipment or related consumables. The code's nominal scope describes a specific materials-testing instrument, yet the issuing bodies (Marion County Oregon, Texas Department of State Health Services, City of Tampa, Lubbock Power & Light, Harris County Toll Road Authority, City of Orlando, Broward County Transportation, Town of Waterford Connecticut, County of Santa Clara, City of Ocala, City of Palm Bay, Lamar University, and Texas A&M University System) and their actual purchasing patterns suggest either miscoding at the source or incidental application of this commodity code to procurements that do not require tearing strength testers themselves.

The mismatch between code and opportunity scope indicates minimal genuine procurement demand for tearing strength testing equipment at the state and local level during this period. Without recent, properly coded solicitations for the equipment itself, no reliable estimate of market activity, geographic concentration, or buyer profile can be drawn. Firms evaluating this code should verify directly with issuing bodies whether tearing strength testers are genuinely needed, or confirm whether these opportunities reflect data-quality issues rather than authentic market signals.
