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 is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local opportunities posted under this classification. The code nominally refers to laboratory jar testing equipment used in water treatment coagulation and flocculation analysis, but the available recent opportunities span water treatment plant construction, pump and grinder replacement, chemical supply contracts, SCADA system upgrades, and specialized equipment procurement — none of which involve jar testers or their procurement. The geographic spread and issuing-body mix reflect activity in Florida (Holly Hill, Collier County, Tampa, Winter Park, Marion County, Pompano Beach, Palm Bay), Georgia (Gwinnett County, DeKalb County School District, Calhoun, Athens-Clarke County, Flowery Branch, Bartow County), Texas (Waxahachie, McKinney, Collin County, Bell County, Collin College), and scattered other states, with water utilities, counties, cities, and special districts predominating. Water treatment agencies and municipal utilities dominate the issuing body mix.

Representative opportunities in the block include Collier County's countywide chemicals procurement (ITB 268705, due November 13, 2026) for water and wastewater treatment chemicals across 29 line items at approximately $4 million annually, and the City of Pompano Beach's water treatment plant improvements phase 1 (ITB27001, due November 2, 2026) for nanofiltration facility buildout at a $20 million minimum prime-contractor threshold. Neither opportunity involves jar testers. The code shows little relevant recent activity; the nine most recent postings categorized under 47101554 reflect a mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual state and local procurement patterns in water and wastewater operations. Vendors should verify UNSPSC classification accuracy with issuing bodies before pursuing opportunities coded to this commodity.
