UNSPSC 41111771: LCR meter

An LCR meter is a type of electronic test equipment used to measure the inductance (L), capacitance (C), and resistance (R) of an electronic component.

UNSPSC 41111771 LCR Meter is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy pressure measurement instrumentation, flow analysis equipment, and related process-monitoring devices under this classification, grounded in recent water and wastewater utility operations solicitations rather than the abstract code name alone. The recent opportunities show municipalities acquiring pressure gauges, flow meters, atmospheric monitoring sensors, temperature transmitters, and specialized analyzers—instrumentation deployed across water treatment plants, wastewater lift stations, pump stations, and distribution systems for real-time process control, regulatory compliance monitoring, and preventative maintenance. The issuing bodies are primarily municipal water departments and utility authorities: the City of Tampa (Water Production division and Wastewater Department), Tucson Water, City of Phoenix Water Services, City of Arlington, Collier County Water and Wastewater, Hillsborough County, and Santa Monica Water Resources. Single-source and sole-source procurements dominate this category, reflecting the technical specificity and integration requirements of instrumentation systems (Siemens MultiRanger controllers, Teledyne Tekmar analyzers, Earth Networks weather stations, Emerson-Flexim flow meters, Ashcroft pressure gauges).

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, Florida, and Texas. Representative opportunities include Hillsborough County's ITB for 200 units of Ashcroft pressure gauges across four models (due September 21, 2026, estimated $65,148.80), the City of Tampa's sole-source procurement of Tekmar Fusion TOC Analyzer parts and repair services from Teledyne Instruments ($25,000 estimated, 12-month term), and the City of Phoenix Water Services' IFB for pressure and temperature instrumentation equipment from approved manufacturers including ABB, ASCO, Ashcroft, Emerson, and Siemens (five-year contract commencing October 15, 2026, sealed offers due August 18, 2026). The City of Arlington issued an RFP for a cyanide flow analyzer for wastewater treatment operations (proposals due September 10, 2026). Collier County posted a notice of intent to single-source Siemens Process Instrumentation products through Gilson Engineering Sales (three-year term October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029). The market shows strong preference for established instrumentation manufacturers with proven SCADA system compatibility and OEM parts availability; competitive sealed bids favor authorized distributors meeting strict technical specifications and local stocking requirements for replacement parts and same-day or next-business-day fulfillment.
