UNSPSC 41115613: Salinity meter

UNSPSC 41115613 Salinity meter is a Commodity code that encompasses laboratory and field instrumentation for water quality analysis, though recent state and local activity shows the code captures a broader range of water and wastewater monitoring equipment than the code name alone suggests. State and local governments solicit under this code for sensors, controllers, and analytical testing services that support regulatory compliance across water treatment, wastewater treatment, groundwater monitoring, and industrial pretreatment programs. The issuing bodies are predominantly municipal water and wastewater utilities—specifically city public works departments and city procurement offices acting on behalf of water reclamation facilities and treatment plants. Florida cities dominate the recent activity, with municipal procurement offices managing these acquisitions to meet state and federal environmental monitoring requirements.

Recent opportunities include the City of Bradenton's notice of intent to award a sole-source contract to The Avanti Company for WRF level sensors and controllers (solicitation 26038NT, response due July 1, 2026), grounded in McCrometer's exclusive manufacturing relationship, and the City of Palm Bay's Invitation to Bid 19-ITB-26 for comprehensive laboratory testing services across three wastewater treatment facilities, two water treatment facilities, groundwater monitoring wells, and industrial pretreatment programs, with 188 line items and estimated annual spending in the $80,000 to $95,000 range (bid opening March 17, 2026). Additional activity includes the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater's request for bids for an oxygen consumption monitor (ShopUW+ Event 2026-UWWTW-01224-RFB, due February 20, 2026) and the City of Austin's Invitation for Quotation for pressure probe components for energy center equipment (IFQ1100BAS1081, due February 4, 2026). The geographic footprint spans Florida, Wisconsin, Texas, and Michigan, with Florida cities representing the majority of recent opportunities tied directly to water and wastewater operations.
