UNSPSC 41112424: Displacer chamber level instrument

Displacement instruments determine liquid level by sensing the buoyant force exerted on a displacer by the liquid it displaces. Unlike floats, in floattype level instruments, the displacer moves very little relative to the rising or falling liquid.

UNSPSC 41112424 Displacer chamber level instrument is a Commodity code that encompasses flow-control and measurement instrumentation for water and wastewater systems. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying pressure switches, process meters, front panels, and related SCADA system components to support water distribution, pump station monitoring, and wastewater inventory management. The issuing bodies include cities and counties managing water utilities and wastewater operations; the City of Tampa and City of Gallup have posted recent opportunities, and Riverside County has solicited related inventory components. Purchases typically specify manufacturer part numbers, require factory-fresh original packaging with manufacturer warranties, and are often sheltered for small or local business enterprises. Delivery cycles are typically compressed—five working days or less for inventory components, 90 to 180 days for integrated system upgrades.

The code shows recent activity in Florida, New Mexico, and California. The City of Tampa issued ITB 26P00425 (due August 6, 2026) for wastewater inventory panels and switches under a Small Local Business Enterprise sheltered solicitation with a 5% bid discount; the contract includes one-year terms with two optional renewals and 30-day extension periods at the City's discretion. The City of Gallup issued RFP 2025202603 (due December 18, 2025, now closed) for a comprehensive SCADA system upgrade across 46 water system locations, including pressure monitoring and data acquisition equipment, with preference points for New Mexico resident and resident veteran businesses; the contract is structured as an indefinite quantity award with potential three-year automatic renewal. Riverside County issued RFB 3909 (due February 13, 2026, now closed) for Cla-Val inventory parts, though specific component details were not disclosed in the posting. Recent solicitations emphasize operator-ready equipment with abbreviated delivery, integrated SCADA monitoring capabilities, and warranty provisions protecting municipalities against defects.
