UNSPSC 41115301: Light absorption meters

UNSPSC 41115301 Light absorption meters is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with the code's nominal scope of optical measurement instruments. Instead, the two opportunities tagged to this code involve energy savings performance contracting (ESPC) and owner's representative services for facility infrastructure upgrades—procurement categories unrelated to light absorption measurement. The Georgia World Congress Center Authority issued an RFQ on May 28, 2026, for Owner's Representative Services on the GESPC II Project, a guaranteed energy savings performance contract covering building automation systems, HVAC infrastructure, cooling towers, kitchen ventilation, and generator peak shaving at the convention center in Atlanta, with qualifications due June 15, 2026. The City of Winder, Georgia, posted an RFQ on February 24, 2026, for Energy Savings Performance Contracting Services, seeking a qualified ESCO to audit, design, and implement efficiency improvements across six city facilities totaling approximately 115,840 square feet, with written qualifications due March 10, 2026.

Both opportunities are concentrated in Georgia and carry substantial barriers to entry. The GESPC II procurement requires $1 million per occurrence/$2 million aggregate Commercial General Liability Insurance plus $5 million umbrella coverage and a valid Georgia business license, with evaluation weighted 30 percent on relevant project experience and 10 percent on Georgia-based presence and on-site availability. The Winder ESPC RFQ mandates Georgia licensure, approval as an ESCO by the Georgia Environmental Finance Authority, ESP level certification from NAESCO, and documented delivery of at least three energy savings performance contracts for Georgia municipalities or counties within the past five years. The code shows minimal recent activity and no light-absorption measurement procurement; firms pursuing state and local opportunities in optical instrumentation or environmental monitoring should verify coding accuracy with the issuing body before responding.
