UNSPSC 41114301: Open stream current meters

UNSPSC 41114301 Open stream current meters (Commodity) sees minimal relevant recent activity in state and local procurement. The code nominally covers flow measurement instruments for open channels and streams, but the recent solicitations tagged under it—controllers, interface boards, Advanced HMI inventory, atmospheric gas monitoring equipment, and SCADA system upgrades—represent industrial control systems, data acquisition hardware, and facility monitoring infrastructure rather than open-water flow measurement devices. State and local governments are acquiring these products through RFQs and IFBs issued by municipal water and utility departments, but the work being solicited does not align with the code's stated scope of open stream current meters.

The most recent opportunities include the City of Tampa's RFQ 27-P-00018 (posted October 14, 2026; due October 29, 2026) for controllers and interface boards, and the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB 27-0435 (posted August 14, 2026; due September 4, 2026) for atmospheric monitoring instruments at water and wastewater facilities. The Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County also posted an RFEI in September 2026 for a waste-to-energy facility DDBOM project, and the City of Gallup, New Mexico released an RFP in November 2025 for a SCADA system upgrade across 46 water system locations. Geographic activity centers on Florida, Arizona, and New Mexico. The code appears to be systematically misapplied in procurement systems to classify water utility equipment and control systems rather than direct stream flow measurement. Vendors pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual commodity requested in each solicitation before bid development.
