UNSPSC 41112420: Pressure drop gauge

Equipment that is used when the pressure is lowered to make the pressure condition fit to the experiment.

UNSPSC 41112420 Pressure drop gauge is a Commodity code capturing instrumentation and control components that state and local water utilities, wastewater systems, and facility maintenance departments source for operational inventory and system upgrades. State and local buyers under this code are sourcing pressure gauges and related process measurement equipment as components of broader water distribution and wastewater management procurements—often bundled with switches, digital panels, loop-powered meters, and SCADA system hardware rather than as standalone instruments. Issuing bodies include city utilities departments (particularly those managing water and wastewater infrastructure), county facility and asset management operations, and regional water authorities. Recent solicitations show small and mid-sized municipalities are the primary buyers, frequently under sheltered-market or preference-based procurement vehicles.

The code shows recent activity in Florida, New Mexico, and California. The City of Tampa, Florida issued ITB 26P00425 on July 9, 2026 (bids due August 6, 2026) for wastewater inventory components including pressure switches, digital front panels, and loop-powered process meters—a sheltered solicitation restricted to Small Local Business Enterprise certified bidders with a 5% evaluation discount. The City of Gallup, New Mexico released an RFP on June 29, 2026 (final proposals due December 18, 2025) for a comprehensive SCADA system upgrade across 46 water distribution sites, requiring pressure gauges and control instrumentation as part of a modernization involving fiber optic backbone installation and radio system replacement; this RFP included New Mexico resident and resident veteran business preferences. Riverside County, California posted RFB 3909 on January 21, 2026 (bids due February 13, 2026) for Cla-Val parts—industrial valve and control components—sourced for warehouse inventory. Activity under this code reflects small-scale recurring component sourcing and large-scale infrastructure modernization projects driven by aging water and wastewater systems.
