UNSPSC 41114723: Bursting strength tester

A tester that measures the pressure when the specimen is broken with the pressure applied to the thin-plate shaped material, such as paper, fiber, vinyl film, medical leather and others.

UNSPSC 41114723 Bursting strength tester, a Commodity code, shows minimal recent activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. The eight recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code overwhelmingly reflect laboratory testing services, equipment repair and maintenance, spectrophotometer replacement, oil analysis, landscape architectural design, technical support for analytical instruments, EV charging infrastructure maintenance, construction materials testing, lab information management systems, meter test boards, water well drilling, fatigue testing systems, and lock-in amplifiers — none of which constitute bursting strength testers as the code names them. The issuing bodies span state health agencies (Texas Department of State Health Services), county governments (Marion County, Oregon; Harris County Toll Road Authority), municipal utilities (City of Tampa Solid Waste & Environmental Program Management; City of Ocala Electric Utility; Lubbock Power & Light), transit authorities (Broward County Transportation Department), water districts (City of Palm Bay), towns (Town of Waterford, Connecticut), county health departments (County of Santa Clara), and universities (Lamar University; Texas A&M University System). No issuing body appears more than once in the recent sample, and no opportunities specifically solicit bursting strength testing equipment.

The geographic spread includes Texas, Oregon, Florida, Connecticut, and unspecified state-level placements, but the dispersion reflects the taxonomy mismatch rather than concentrated demand for the commodity itself. The most recent opportunities with stated response dates range from February 2026 through July 2026, with the most current being Marion County, Oregon's July 24, 2026 ITB for laboratory testing services and phlebotomy. No recent procurement activity directly targets bursting strength testers — a device used in materials testing to measure the maximum pressure a material can withstand before rupture. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or erroneously across a broad range of laboratory and testing-related equipment and services that do not align with the commodity definition. For business development purposes, this code shows no actionable recent activity in the bursting strength tester market under state and local procurement.
