UNSPSC 41111930: Electrical power sensors

UNSPSC 41111930 Electrical power sensors is a Commodity code, but recent state and local solicitations tagged with this code do not reflect sensor procurement — instead, they document a mismatch between the code classification and actual buying activity. The records show opportunities for ballasts and capacitors (Gwinnett County Parks and Recreation), solenoids for water treatment facility automation systems (City of Tampa), electrical connectors and components for radio and audio/video equipment maintenance (Orange County Sheriff-Coroner), protective devices and network protectors for utility distribution (City of Austin), and electrical switchgear, generator controls, and instrumentation upgrades for wastewater treatment (Orange County, Florida). None of these procurements — ballasts, capacitors, solenoids, connectors, or protective relays — constitute power sensors. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies span counties (Gwinnett County Georgia, Hillsborough County Florida, Orange County California, Orange County Florida, San Mateo County California), cities (Arlington Texas, Tampa Florida, Austin Texas, Gainesville Florida), and transit or utility departments within those jurisdictions. Opportunities cluster in Florida (three separate Orange County and Tampa solicitations), Texas (Arlington, Austin), and California (Orange County, San Mateo County), with one Georgia procurement and a multi-jurisdiction cooperative vehicle through Sourcewell. Representative recent activity includes Gwinnett County requesting ballasts and capacitors for annual supply (RFQ, June 12, 2026 close), the City of Tampa seeking a solenoid for a water treatment facility automation upgrade (RFQ, June 19, 2026 close), and the City of Austin Energy procuring network protectors and protective devices for utility distribution (IFB, March 10, 2026 close). The code taxonomy appears misaligned with how state and local procurement offices classify electrical equipment procurement; buyers in these jurisdictions are soliciting components and subassemblies rather than sensing instruments.
