UNSPSC 20143801: Subsea flow meter, single phase

Device for measuring fluid flow rates (oil and gas) coming from the wellbore. Since single phase meters are designed to accurately measure only one fluid, the mixture must pass through a fluid-separation stage (separator) prior to metering

UNSPSC 20143801 Subsea flow meter, single phase (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under this code. The source contains no solicitations for subsea flow meters or related equipment; instead, the opportunities span water well construction, maintenance, repair, and associated infrastructure upgrades across municipalities and water districts.

State and local governments soliciting under this code are pursuing water infrastructure work—well drilling and casing installation, pump removal and rehabilitation, well maintenance and repair services, lineshaft pump bowl assemblies, strainer replacement, and comprehensive well system upgrades. The issuing bodies are water departments, county water and wastewater agencies, municipal utilities, and special-purpose water districts. Repeat buyers include Collier County (well improvements), the City of Tucson (lineshaft pump bowl assemblies and deep well pump services), Broward County (well column pipes), Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County (well maintenance and rehabilitation), and Hillsborough County in Florida (water well maintenance and repair). Activity concentrates in Florida, Arizona, California, Oregon, and Georgia, reflecting the geographic distribution of groundwater-dependent water systems.

Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County issuing an ITB for two-year water well maintenance and repair services across 67 irrigation and potable wells (due June 12, 2026, estimated value $688,073), Broward County requesting bids on an open-end indefinite-quantity contract for new well column pipes conforming to ASTM A53 specifications (due June 23, 2026), the City of Palm Bay soliciting sealed bids for construction of four production wells 850 feet deep at the North Regional Water Treatment Plant (due April 28, 2026), and the Eastern Municipal Water District issuing an RFP for well maintenance and rehabilitation services on an as-needed basis with awards to a minimum of two firms (proposal due April 23, 2026). The code appears to have been misapplied; procurement professionals evaluating this code should verify current subsea metering activity through alternative data sources or clarify the classification with their procurement system administrator.
