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) does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under this code. The posted opportunities show no meters designed to measure electrical distortion; instead, they encompass airport vending and parking concessions, water and commercial meter replacement, transformers, battery backup systems, educational equipment and supplies, and mechanical testing apparatus. Of the nine recent solicitations, only two address metering infrastructure—Fulton County, Georgia's commercial water meter replacement and register changeout (ITB 26ITB1640964A-KM, bids due August 5, 2026) and Collier County, Florida's reclaimed water meters (single-source designation notice issued June 12, 2026)—and neither involves distortion measurement. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests this code sees minimal relevant state and local volume at present.

The geographic spread of the limited relevant activity is narrow, concentrated in Texas and Georgia. Fulton County, Georgia dominates with an ITB for approximately 625 commercial water meters and 45 register changeouts over three months, requiring bidder experience with a minimum of 5,000 commercial meters; the County has set targeted utilization goals of 11.49% MBE and 2.62% FBE participation and a pre-bid conference scheduled for July 22, 2026 via Zoom. Collier County, Florida's single-source procurement for Master Meter Octave Series water meters (contract term October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2029) focuses on reclaimed water applications, a specialized subset distinct from general distortion measurement. No recent solicitations from state departments, transit authorities, or special-purpose districts under this code appear in the source material. Firms evaluating this code should treat it as low-priority pending clarification of whether state and local procurement offices continue to apply it to actual distortion-meter purchases or have shifted such buys to alternative classifications.
