UNSPSC 20143802: Subsea flow meter, multi phase

Device for measuring individual fluid flow rates of oil and gas when more than one fluid is flowing through a pipeline at subsea temperatures and pressure

UNSPSC 20143802 Subsea flow meter, multi phase is a Commodity code that does not reflect the actual work state and local governments are soliciting under this classification. The recent opportunities tagged with this code involve water utility infrastructure — well drilling and rehabilitation, pump installation and removal, strainer replacement, diving services for underwater inspections, and water treatment plant construction — none of which center on subsea flow measurement or multiphase metering technology. The tagged solicitations represent municipal water supply and wastewater operations rather than offshore or subsea energy or process industries where multiphase flow meters typically operate. State and local procurement offices appear to have applied this code inconsistently or incorrectly to a range of groundwater and surface-water well maintenance activities that do not meaningfully align with the code's nominal scope.

The recent opportunities span Florida (Broward County, Hillsborough County, Collier County, City of Palm Bay), Georgia (Athens-Clarke County), California (Eastern Municipal Water District in Riverside County), Oregon (City of Bend), and Arizona (City of Tucson), with representative work including Broward County's ITB for well column pipes (due June 23, 2026), Hillsborough County's ITB for water well maintenance and repair services (due June 12, 2026), the City of Bend's RFP for River Well #1 engineering services (due May 20, 2026), and Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP for well maintenance and rehabilitation services (due April 23, 2026). Issuing bodies are primarily municipal water utilities and county water services departments. The code shows marginal relevance to the actual procurement activity recorded, limiting its utility as a targeting signal for vendors pursuing state and local water infrastructure work.
