UNSPSC 20121904: Flow measurement equipment

UNSPSC 20121904 Flow measurement equipment is a Commodity code that reflects state and local procurement of specialized flow-measurement instruments, though recent activity shows substantial scope variation. The City of Tucson Environmental and General Services Division's RFP No. 240011 for Gas Extraction and Removal centers on EPA-certified refrigerant reclamation services rather than flow meters themselves, while Tampa Bay Water's sole-source notice targets KROHNE, Inc. flow meters for chemical process applications—the only solicitation directly aligned with the code's stated scope. Issuing bodies under this code span municipal environmental divisions, regional water authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles. Sourcewell's RFP 061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment shows a mismatch; the code does not appear to address law enforcement procurement and this opportunity should be disregarded as misclassified.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southwest and Southeast. The Tucson procurement (RFP No. 240011, due September 19, 2024) sought extraction and documentation services for refrigerants from approximately 50 units per week at the Los Reales Sustainability Campus, with evaluation centered on EPA compliance and technical capability; the contract structure included line items for Freon, mixed gas, and refrigerant removal with tiered labor rates. Tampa Bay Water's sole-source notice (Solicitation 2027503, notice period closing August 20, 2026) specified KROHNE, Inc. flow meters for chemical process procurement through H2 Enviro Solutions LLC, with no contract value or term disclosed. The code shows limited recent state and local flow-meter solicitation activity; the preponderance of recent opportunities tagged to this code involve services or equipment substantially outside the nominal scope.
