UNSPSC 41111900: Indicating and recording instruments

UNSPSC 41111900 Indicating and recording instruments (Class) encompasses water utility metering, flow measurement, and pump station instrumentation—specifically water meters, flowmeters, transducers, control panels, and related monitoring devices that state and local water utilities procure for system operation, maintenance, and infrastructure rehabilitation. Recent solicitations show demand for both equipment supply (pumps, floats, transducers, pressure gauges, control panels for lift stations) and associated services (meter calibration and verification, flow monitor maintenance, advanced metering infrastructure systems integration). Issuing bodies are predominantly independent water districts and municipal water utilities, with some city procurement offices handling water reclamation operations. Tohopekaliga Water Authority in Polk County, Florida has posted multiple IFBs for lift station equipment and rehabilitation; Eastern Municipal Water District (Riverside County, California), City of Meridian (Mississippi), Jackson County Utility Authority (Mississippi), City of St. Petersburg (Florida), and City of Orlando (Florida) have solicited metering, calibration, and flow-monitoring services within the past five months.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida and Mississippi, with secondary presence in California. Recent opportunities include Tohopekaliga Water Authority's IFB26039 (bids due October 8, 2026) for lift station K070 and K095 equipment including pumps, control panels, floats, transducers, and 60-foot pump power cables; City of Meridian's RFQ 3170036262 (SOQs due August 26, 2026) for comprehensive Advanced Metering Infrastructure system furnishing, installation, communications deployment, software implementation, and long-term operation and maintenance; Eastern Municipal Water District's RFP3856 (proposals due July 15, 2026) for meter verification, calibration, certification, preventative maintenance, and repair services across Riverside County; City of St. Petersburg's IFB26242 (bids due May 19, 2026—closed) for flow monitor maintenance covering 30 Triton+ flow monitors and 20 rain gauges with twice-monthly on-site service and 48-hour response requirements; and City of Orlando's sole-source procurement S260440 (due May 20, 2026—closed) for a 24-inch magnetic flowmeter. Set-asides appear in the St. Petersburg solicitation, which requires Small Business Enterprise, Minority Business Enterprise, and Woman Business Enterprise participation.
