UNSPSC 41113709: Modulation meters

UNSPSC 41113709 Modulation meters is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it does not center on modulation meters proper. Instead, the code appears in solicitations for electrical testing and measurement equipment spanning digital watt meters, Motorola radios and accessories, laboratory and research instrumentation, and communications cabling infrastructure. The issuing bodies vary across county sheriffs' offices, state transportation departments, university procurement offices, and port authorities. Scope ranges from off-the-shelf meter purchases to multi-year managed services for network cabling with technician deployment and emergency response embedded in the contract.

Activity is concentrated in Texas and New York. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) issued an RFQ in May 2026 for digital watt meters with carrying cases for the Austin District, due May 15, 2026, requiring vendors to register on the Texas Comptroller's Centralized Master Bidders List. Texas Tech University (TTU) posted an RFP in May 2026 for research and development goods and services, including laboratory equipment and specialty instrumentation, evaluated on best-value criteria with HUB program compliance required. In New York, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey solicited an IFB in April 2026 for fiber optic and copper cabling provision, maintenance, installation, and inventory services across all facilities, due May 19, 2026, with an estimated total contract value of $2,477,881.75 over the base period and two optional one-year extensions; the Port Authority requires 20 percent MBE, 10 percent WBE, and 3 percent SDVOB participation on this procurement. The County of Santa Clara, California issued an RFQ in June 2026 for Motorola radios and accessories for the Office of the Sheriff, due June 17, 2026. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the actual work being solicited suggests the code is misapplied or overloaded in these jurisdictions' tagging systems.
