UNSPSC 41111931: Flow sensors

UNSPSC 41111931 Flow sensors is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local opportunities recently posted under this classification. The code nominally describes instrumentation to measure fluid or gas flow rates, but the recent solicitations tagged with this code span musical equipment and sound systems, atmospheric gas detection instruments, laboratory analytical equipment, environmental monitoring systems, pipeline inspection video systems, and ozone calibration standards—none of which are flow sensors in the traditional sense. The mismatch suggests either systematic misclassification in the source records or that this code has been applied as a catch-all for instrumentation and sensor procurement more broadly.

Activity under this code shows issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and government types: Clayton County Public Schools in Georgia (musical equipment and sound systems, IFB 002-27, due November 5, 2026), the City of Phoenix Water Services Department in Arizona (atmospheric monitoring instruments for hydrogen sulfide and other hazardous gases, IFB-27-0435, due September 4, 2026), the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (tandem mass spectrometer for pesticide analysis, IFB 26-532EPA-LAB53-B-53209, due September 1, 2026; ozone transfer standards and zero air generators, IFB 26-532EPA-AIR53-B-53592, due August 27, 2026), the Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division (environmental monitoring system for laboratory equipment, RFQ, due August 21, 2026), Texas A&M University System (National Instruments items, ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0543, due August 19, 2026), and the City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management (pipeline and sewer inspection equipment, IFB GS/DWM/2604-1260190, due June 23, 2026). The geographic spread covers Georgia, Arizona, Illinois, and Texas. Given the misalignment between code definition and actual procurement scope, this code appears to show little relevant activity for firms targeting genuine flow-sensor opportunities.
