UNSPSC 41113727: Distortion meter

A meter that read the degree of distortion of the signal. The series resonance bridge or Wien bridge is generally used to remove the fundamental wave, and the remaining harmonics and noise ingredient are compared and measured with the fundamental wave and this would measure the degree of noise.

UNSPSC 41113727 Distortion meter (Commodity) appears in state and local procurement activity focused primarily on water utility infrastructure — specifically the supply, replacement, and metering of water delivery systems rather than electrical measurement instrumentation. The code's recent solicitation record shows state and local governments purchasing water meter boxes, water meter replacement services, commercial meter changeouts, and reclaimed water metering equipment. Cities, counties, and special-purpose utility districts dominate the issuing bodies, with school districts and transit authorities absent from recent activity. The geographic activity centers on Texas and Georgia, with secondary presence in Florida and Nevada.

Water utility departments across multiple jurisdictions are the primary buyers. The City of Arlington, Texas posted an ITB on September 16, 2026 for an annual requirements contract supplying reinforced plastic water meter boxes and lids to the Arlington Water Utilities Department, with bids due October 15, 2026. Fulton County, Georgia issued ITB 26ITB1640964A-KM on July 2, 2026 for commercial water meter replacement and register changeout services covering approximately 625 commercial meters (5/8" to 10" in size) and 45 large meter register changes over a three-month performance period, with bids due August 5, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., MBE and FBE utilization targets of 11.49% and 2.62%, and a pre-bid conference scheduled July 22, 2026 via Zoom. Collier County Public Utilities Department issued a sole-source Notice of Intent on June 12, 2026 for Master Meter Octave Series Water Meters to measure reclaimed water usage for non-potable applications, with a contract term running October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029. The City of Lubbock, Texas solicited RFP proposals for single-phase pole mount transformers (15 kVA, 12470GY/7200 volts) for its Water Utilities department on June 29, 2026 with proposals due July 15, 2026. Recent opportunities show minimal activity matching the code's nominal scope of electrical distortion measurement; the mismatch suggests the code captures water-utility meter and metering-infrastructure procurement rather than measurement instrumentation as commonly understood.
