UNSPSC 41113738: Communication line overhaul tester

A tester that is designed to read automatically the abnormality of communication line for prompt inspection by simply determining the insulation condition between insulated conductor and insulated conductor and between insulated conductor and earth on the line of national boundaries and subscriber. Following the insulation resistance value of line, it is possible to determine with the visual discretion by the light-emitting diode lamp and hearing discretion by the warning sound, Also, it undertakes the test

UNSPSC 41113738 Communication line overhaul tester is a Commodity code, and recent state and local procurement activity shows a significant mismatch between the code's nominal scope and what is actually being solicited. The recent opportunities tagged under this code include plastic water meter boxes and lids, commercial water meter replacement, single-phase pole mount transformers, reclaimed water meters, electronic equipment repairs and rentals, waste-to-energy facility design-build-operate-maintain services, airport vending machine concessions, and battery backup systems. None of these solicitations involve communication line testing, line overhaul, or telecommunications infrastructure maintenance. The code shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its stated purpose.

The issuing bodies across these opportunities span multiple jurisdiction types: city utility departments (Arlington, Lubbock, McKinney), county water authorities (Fulton County, Collier County), a special-purpose solid waste authority (Palm Beach County), a school district (Northside Independent School District), a university system (Texas A&M), a state purchasing division (Nevada), and a multi-state cooperative (Sourcewell). Geographic spread includes Texas, Georgia, Florida, Nevada, and multi-state cooperative participation. Recent representative solicitations include Arlington Water Utilities' ITB for plastic meter boxes due October 15, 2026; Fulton County's ITB for commercial water meter replacement and register changeouts due August 5, 2026 with targeted MBE and FBE participation goals; the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's RFEI for waste-to-energy facility DDBOM services due November 18, 2026; and Northside Independent School District's IFB for electronic equipment, parts, repairs, rentals, and services due September 24, 2026. The code category appears to have been applied erroneously to water utility and facility infrastructure procurements that fall outside telecommunications and communication infrastructure scope.
