UNSPSC 41113709: Modulation meters

UNSPSC 41113709 Modulation meters (Commodity) covers electrical test and measurement equipment that state and local governments procure for utility operations, transportation infrastructure management, and research support. The code's recent activity reflects two distinct product streams: specialized RF wattmeters with modulation analysis capability used by transportation agencies for signal testing, and protective equipment testing and certification services where digital measurement instruments support compliance verification. The issuing bodies include city utilities, state transportation departments, and public universities, with equipment procurement typically tied to operational maintenance programs or research initiatives rather than capital asset replacement.

The most recent opportunities concentrate in Texas and Florida. The Texas Department of Transportation has issued two separate RFQs for digital RF wattmeters with carrying cases—one posted May 15, 2026 (due May 15, 2026) and a second posted August 25, 2026 (due September 8, 2026 at 3:00 PM Central Time), both specifying Telewave Model 44D-LX meters or approved equals for the Austin District, with responses evaluated on best-value criteria including price, specification compliance, reliability, and past performance tracked in the CPA Vendor Performance Tracking System. The City of Ocala issued RFQ ELE/260653 (due May 11, 2026) for annual inspection, cleaning, and testing of electrical protective equipment and insulated rubber gloves, requiring vendors to hold NAILforPET certification or equivalent accreditation and perform work at the vendor's laboratory under a three-year initial term with two optional one-year renewals. The County of Santa Clara issued an RFQ posted June 9, 2026 (due June 17, 2026) for Motorola radios and accessories for the Sheriff's Office, though scope details beyond the product category were not specified. Texas Tech University's RFP 2026-1190 (due April 30, 2026) for research and development goods and services included laboratory and measuring equipment but represents a broader category procurement not specifically tied to modulation meter procurement.
