UNSPSC 41112519: Pitot gauge

Measuring equipment which is designed to measure the discharge water volume in the fire extinguishing facilities, such as indoor and outdoor fire hydrants and others.

UNSPSC 41112519 Pitot gauge (Commodity) covers flow measurement, calibration, and verification equipment that state and local governments buy for environmental monitoring, water systems, and laboratory standards maintenance. Recent solicitations reveal a broader scope than the nominal code name suggests: state environmental quality agencies and water utilities are procuring gas flow calibrators, mass flow terminals, zero air generators, and related sensor and verification systems to support EPA-compliant air and water quality monitoring networks. The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) Air Monitoring Division has posted multiple bids for specialized calibration equipment including mesa metrology gas flow calibrators and Fluke mass flow terminals, while the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency procured zero air generators and Teledyne air quality monitoring sensor components. Work consists of new, NIST-traceable equipment with manufacturer warranties, often bundled with preventative maintenance, repair, and certification services; vendors must demonstrate compatibility with existing agency infrastructure and EPA protocol compliance.

State and local activity under this code spans primarily Texas and Illinois, with secondary activity in California and Florida. The TCEQ has been the most active buyer in the recent window, issuing multiple RFBs for air monitoring calibration equipment with bid due dates in March through July 2026. The Eastern Municipal Water District (EMWD) in Riverside County, California issued an RFP in June 2026 for meter verification, calibration, certification, and repair services. The City of Tampa, Florida issued an Intent to Single Source for Yokogawa parts and service in February 2026. Illinois state procurement offices procured zero air generators and OEM monitoring parts through small purchases with sole-source justifications in March 2026. Riverside County also posted an RFB for miscellaneous Cla-Val parts in January 2026. Texas-based bidders may claim preferences under 34 TAC Rule 20.38 for service-disabled veteran ownership, recycled materials, or economically depressed area sourcing where applicable; Illinois and California follow their respective state certifications and BEP goals.
