UNSPSC 41113623: Insulation resistance meters

UNSPSC 41113623 Insulation resistance meters is a Commodity code that in practice spans electrical testing and measurement equipment — specifically protective equipment testing services and digital RF wattmeters — procured by state departments and municipal utilities. The City of Ocala's RFQ ELE/260653, posted September 28, 2026 and due May 11, 2026, solicits annual inspection, cleaning, and testing of electrical rubber protective equipment and insulated rubber gloves, requiring vendors to hold NAILforPET certification and perform work at their own laboratory on approximately 30 equipment types with annual quantities ranging from 1 to 148 units; vendors must also provide bi-weekly pick-up and delivery of gloves for off-site testing every eight weeks, comply with OSHA and ASTM specifications, and carry $1 million per-occurrence commercial general liability and $1 million commercial automotive liability coverage. The initial contract runs three years with two optional one-year renewals, subject to annual price-increase caps of three percent absent CPI-U justification. Separately, the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) has posted repeated solicitations for digital RF wattmeters with carrying cases for its Austin District — most recently RFO 601440000053454, due September 8, 2026, requesting 27 units of digital Telewave Model 44D-LX wattmeters and 3 units of portable analog Telewave Model 44A wattmeters, with firm fixed pricing on an F.O.B. destination basis and delivery at TxDOT's facility in Austin, Texas 78744. The code also captures a County of Santa Clara RFQ for Motorola radios and accessories (RFQPRCFY260713, due June 17, 2026), though the scope details are limited.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with TxDOT appearing as a repeat buyer (two recorded solicitations within four months). The Texas Tech University RFP 2026-1190 for research and development goods and services, posted May 4, 2026, lists laboratory equipment and testing instruments as part of a broader R&D procurement but does not isolate meter or electrical testing equipment as the primary focus. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope (insulation resistance meters) and the recent opportunities actually posted (protective equipment testing services, RF wattmeters, and general research equipment) suggests the code sees limited activity strictly aligned with insulation resistance measurement instruments; the opportunities recorded appear to reflect broader electrical testing and measurement procurement that state and local agencies have tagged with this code, possibly reflecting cataloging inconsistency rather than active market demand for the narrowly defined commodity.
