UNSPSC 41113680: Power factor meter

A meter that is designed to measure the ratio of actual electric power and the apparent power in the electric circuit.

UNSPSC 41113680 Power factor meter is a Commodity code that does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities indexed to this code—janitorial services, electrical equipment, document destruction, title searches, theater lighting, asphalt, shotgun sticks, school district electrical supplies, floriculture maintenance, aggregate materials, inspection supplies, freeway cleanup, industrial electrical supplies, ornamental plants, water filtration, and video surveillance maintenance—span facility operations, material supply, and professional services with no connection to power factor measurement or electrical testing instrumentation. State and local buyers do not appear to use this code for its nominal scope.

The issuing bodies in the recent-opportunities block include the City of Detroit (dominant buyer with nine separate solicitations covering janitorial, document destruction, title search, asphalt, floriculture, aggregate, and water filtration), Pinellas County School District (Florida, theater lighting at multiple high schools), City of Austin (Texas, shotgun stick and MEGGER digiPHONE equipment), Northside Independent School District (San Antonio, Texas, electrical equipment and supplies), Orange County Transportation Authority (California, industrial electrical supplies), Gwinnett County (Georgia, lifting chain hooks), Lubbock Power & Light (Texas municipal utility, electrical equipment and cable), City of Charlotte (North Carolina, video surveillance maintenance), City of Philadelphia (micro-purchase inspection supplies), and the State of Texas Department of Information Resources (cabling cooperative contracts). Geographically, activity concentrates in Michigan (Detroit), Texas (Austin, San Antonio, Lubbock), Florida (Pinellas County), California (Orange County), North Carolina (Charlotte), Georgia (Gwinnett County), and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia). The code shows no recent activity actually soliciting power factor meters, demand registers, or related electrical measurement equipment; the mismatch between the code's intended scope and the work tagged under it suggests either a classification error in the source data or dormant demand under this particular commodity code.
