UNSPSC 41114300: Hydrological instruments

UNSPSC 41114300 Hydrological instruments is a Class code covering water measurement, monitoring, and control equipment that state and local water authorities and environmental management districts procure to track, measure, and manage surface and groundwater systems. Recent solicitations show concrete demand for SCADA system upgrades incorporating real-time data acquisition and supervisory control across multiple water system locations, field-deployed flow meters and data loggers for agricultural and environmental water use monitoring, and specialized hydrological monitoring equipment such as data loggers and telemetry systems that integrate with existing water management software platforms. Issuing bodies span municipal water utilities (City of Gallup, New Mexico), regional water supply authorities (Tampa Bay Water), state water management districts (Suwannee River Water Management District in Florida, Northwest Florida Water Management District), and county water departments (Riverside County, California). Water management districts appear as repeat buyers in recent activity.

Geographic spread includes Florida, New Mexico, and California, with the most recent concentrated activity in Florida where two active solicitations target agricultural water use monitoring and comprehensive hydrogeological services. Representative opportunities include the City of Gallup's November 2025 RFP for a SCADA system upgrade at 46 water system locations (due December 11, 2025), the Suwannee River Water Management District's ITB for field support services conducting approximately 20 or more agricultural water flow measurements monthly across fifteen counties (due July 1, 2026), Tampa Bay Water's June 2026 RFP seeking five qualified firms for task-order hydrogeological services including groundwater modeling, well testing, and water quality monitoring (due June 30, 2026), and the Northwest Florida Water Management District's February 2026 single-source procurement of OTT Hydromet data loggers and telemetry equipment valued at $160,000 for integration with Aquarius software (due February 25, 2026). The City of Gallup procurement includes an eight percent preference for certified resident businesses and ten percent for resident veteran businesses under New Mexico law.
