UNSPSC 41111958: Manifold ambient pressure sensor

UNSPSC 41111958 Manifold ambient pressure sensor (Commodity) shows minimal alignment between the code's nominal scope and recent state and local solicitation activity. The code nominally describes a single environmental or industrial sensor product, but the six recent opportunities posted under this code span musical equipment and sound systems for schools, atmospheric gas detection instruments for water utilities, laboratory analytical equipment including mass spectrometers, environmental monitoring systems for laboratory facilities, data acquisition hardware from National Instruments, and pipeline inspection and sewer cleaning equipment. Only one opportunity—the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB-27-0435 for atmospheric monitoring instruments-fixed (due September 4, 2026)—involves sensor equipment that could reasonably fall within the code's scope; that solicitation covers hydrogen sulfide, methane, oxygen, chlorine, ammonia, ozone, chlorine dioxide, and carbon monoxide detection at water and wastewater facilities, with a five-year term, DBE-N participation requirements, and mandatory replacement-parts availability within 48 hours.

The issuing bodies include school districts (Clayton County Public Schools in Georgia), city utilities and departments (City of Phoenix Water Services, City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management), state environmental agencies (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division), and higher education systems (Texas A&M University System). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Arizona, Illinois, and Texas. The code's mismatch with recent opportunities suggests either miscategorization at posting or that this Commodity code is not actively used by state and local procurement offices for the types of monitoring and sensor equipment these jurisdictions are actually purchasing. Prospective vendors should verify code alignment before pursuing opportunities tagged under 41111958, as the recent record does not support consistent buying activity in manifold ambient pressure sensors specifically.
