A meter that measures the oxygen volume that is required for the aerobic bacteria to secrete the organic substance within certain time.

UNSPSC 41113338 Biochemical oxygen demand BOD meter is a Commodity code that represents specialized water-quality monitoring instruments used by state and local environmental and wastewater agencies to measure the amount of biodegradable organic matter in water samples. State and local governments procure BOD meters to support compliance monitoring at wastewater treatment plants, environmental laboratories, and water quality programs required under federal Clean Water Act regulations. The meters range from portable field instruments to laboratory benchtop analyzers, depending on the agency's testing frequency and operational scope. Issuing bodies include state environmental protection departments, county wastewater authorities, municipal water and sewer departments, and regional water quality districts that operate treatment facilities or conduct routine environmental monitoring.

The source contains no recent state or local contract opportunities posted under this code as of 2026-10-20. Without posted solicitations, issuing-body concentration and geographic spread cannot be characterized from procurement activity. Firms tracking this code should monitor RFQ and ITB postings from state environmental agencies and county wastewater systems, particularly in regions with aggressive water-quality enforcement or high-volume treatment operations, though current visibility into active demand under this specific commodity code is absent.
