UNSPSC 47101554: Jar tester

A type of device that is designed to test the cohesive force and others in the sample when injecting the test chemicals to the waste water at the time of disposing the waste water.

UNSPSC 47101554 Jar tester, a Commodity code, sees minimal relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The code nominally describes apparatus for testing water treatment chemistry, but the recent opportunities block shows no solicitations directly aligned with jar tester procurement. The source lists twenty-seven recent state and local contracts across water, wastewater, and stormwater infrastructure—spanning treatment plant upgrades, chemical supply, pump maintenance, SCADA systems, and pipe rehabilitation—yet none explicitly names jar testers as a line item or deliverable. State agencies, counties, cities, and utilities posting these opportunities (Texas State University, Collin College, Tampa Convention Center, Collier County, Gwinnett County, the City of Calhoun, Athens-Clarke County, and others across Texas, Georgia, and Florida) are actively procuring water treatment services and materials, but jar testing apparatus does not appear in their stated scopes.

The absence of recent jar tester solicitations under this code does not reflect zero market activity; rather, it signals that when state and local water systems acquire or replace jar testing equipment, they either classify it differently in procurement taxonomy, bundle it into broader water chemistry or laboratory equipment categories, or purchase it as incidental to larger treatment-plant modernization projects. Business development activity under this specific code merits a watch posture: monitor for state environmental agencies or large water utilities issuing laboratory equipment RFPs, track treatment plant capital projects that may trigger jar tester upgrades, and flag technical specification documents in broader water treatment solicitations that name jar testing as a requirement—these will surface the actual buying pattern and timing in the market.
