UNSPSC 41113708: Power meters

UNSPSC 41113708 Power meters is a Commodity code whose recent activity shows a significant mismatch between the code name and actual state and local procurement. Of the four recent opportunities tagged under this code, only two involve power meters at all — the Texas Department of Transportation's RFO 601440000053454 for 27 digital RF wattmeters with carrying cases and a parallel TxDOT solicitation 601440000050521 for similar equipment. The City of Ocala's RFQ ELE/260653 solicits annual inspection, cleaning, and testing of electrical rubber protective equipment (line guards, hot sticks, blankets, line hoses, insulated gloves) and has no connection to power meters; the County of Santa Clara's RFQ for Motorola radios and accessories is similarly unrelated. The code shows minimal relevant recent activity, with only TxDOT's two wattmeter procurements representing genuine power-meter buying.

The geographic spread is narrow: recent power-meter activity is concentrated in Texas, specifically TxDOT's Austin District. The two substantive opportunities are both TxDOT acquisitions. The May 2026 solicitation 601440000050521 closed on May 15, 2026; the August 2026 RFO 601440000053454 (the active opportunity) specifies delivery to 6230 East Stassney Lane, Austin, Texas 78744, with responses due September 8, 2026 at 3:00 PM Central Time. That RFO calls for 27 units of digital RF wattmeters (Telewave Model 44D-LX or approved equals) with carrying cases and 3 units of portable analog RF wattmeters (Telewave Model 44A or approved equals), firm fixed pricing on an F.O.B. destination basis, and evaluation on best-value criteria with price and specification compliance weighted most heavily. TxDOT requires vendors to be registered on the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts' Centralized Master Bidders List with appropriate NIGP codes selected; no set-asides apply. The code as tagged does not reflect a robust or active procurement stream under its nominal scope.
