UNSPSC 41113601: Ammeters

UNSPSC 41113601 Ammeters is a Commodity code. The recent state and local opportunities tagged to this code reveal a significant mismatch between the nominal taxonomy and the work actually being solicited: the code encompasses electricity-measuring instruments at the unit level, yet recent postings overwhelmingly feature emergency generator procurement, installation, maintenance, and repair services; electrical wiring, conduit, and cable supply; and low-voltage IT/AV infrastructure work. The code shows little activity directly aligned with ammeter sales or testing. Where electrical measurement activity does appear—a Three-Phase Meter Test Board system for the City of Ocala and an Entellisys switchgear HMI upgrade package for the City of Fort Myers—these are specialized subsystems for utility metering and emergency power management, not standalone ammeters. This disconnect suggests the code is being misapplied in state and local procurement systems, or that ammeter-specific procurement occurs through different channels or code families.

The issuing bodies across the recent opportunities include counties (Beaufort County South Carolina, Cobb County Georgia, Orange County Florida, DeKalb County Georgia, Harris County Texas), cities (Phoenix, Ocala, Taylor Michigan, Dallas, Arlington, Tallahassee), school districts (Volusia County Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools, Northside Independent School District, Gwinnett County Public Schools, City Colleges of Chicago), utilities (Seminole County generator services, City of Ocala Electric Utility), special districts (Peachtree City Airport Authority, Bergen County Utilities Authority), and transit/facilities authorities. The geographic concentration spans Florida (Volusia, Seminole, Ocala, Collier, Orange counties; multiple cities), Georgia (Beaufort, Henry, Cobb, DeKalb counties; Atlanta-area jurisdictions), Texas (Harris County, San Bernardino, Dallas, Arlington, Hillsborough), and scattered activity in South Carolina, Michigan, Illinois, and New Jersey. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix's IFB-26-0395 for Emergency Power Supply Systems Preventative Maintenance, Testing and Repair Services (over 300 industrial generators, 35 kW to 3,500 kW, offers due October 9, 2026, five-year term); Beaufort County South Carolina's IFB for 350 kW diesel generator procurement and installation at its Administration Building (bids due November 10, 2026, with S/MBE participation required); and the School Board of Volusia County Florida's ITB MTS-738BC for five 125 kilowatt emergency generators with trailers (bids due March 30, 2017, definite-quantity one-time purchase). Because ammeter procurement itself is not meaningfully represented in the recent opportunities block, this code should be watched rather than pursued without further market research into whether the ammeter category is served through cooperative purchasing vehicles, master agreements, or other procurement channels not captured in state and local public notice systems.
