UNSPSC 24102110: Scale, warehouse

When shipping merchandise, warehouses depend on their scales to yield accurate measurements.

UNSPSC 24102110 Scale, warehouse is a Commodity code covering mechanical and electronic weighing systems that state and local governments procure for maintenance, calibration, and operational use across facilities, utilities, sanitation, and public safety departments. Recent solicitations reflect demand for comprehensive weighing-system maintenance services, scale equipment procurement, and specialized wheel-load weighers across multiple jurisdictions and use cases.

State and local buyers under this code span cities, counties, and transit authorities. The City of Milpitas (California) and the City of Dallas (Texas) represent significant recent activity, with Dallas soliciting a three-year ID/IQ contract for mechanical, hydrostatic, and electronic weighing systems maintenance across four departments—Sanitation Services, Dallas Police Department, Dallas Water Utilities Department, and Dallas Animal Services—serving transfer stations, landfills, water treatment plants, police facilities, and weigh stations. The Texas Department of Public Safety procured 80 units of Haenni Wheel Load Scale Model WL 101 equipment through the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, while Williamson County (Texas) sought wheel load weighers for its L & W Unit, and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority (Florida) solicited bus wash blowers as part of facility operations equipment. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, with additional recent solicitations in California and Arizona. The City of Dallas issued RFP BYZ2600029777 for weighing systems maintenance due April 24, 2026, requiring five years of documented experience, NIST-traceable calibration certifications, and 24/7 service availability within 50 miles of City Hall, with evaluation weighted 30 points on cost and 20 points on local-vendor compliance under the City's DRIVE Policy. The Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB 304T-26-405-26R0002338 for wheel load scales closed February 17, 2026, specifying proprietary Haenni equipment with 20,000-pound capacity and NIST Handbook 44 conformance. Maintenance contracts typically require prevailing-wage compliance in states like California and Texas, minimum insurance coverage ($1 million general liability common), and performance bonds. Set-aside activity appears limited in recent postings; Dallas and Tucson included DBE and SBE aspirational benchmarks, while Milpitas applied local purchasing preferences. Pricing structures vary between fixed monthly rates for preventive maintenance, time-and-material arrangements for on-call services, and unit-based pricing for equipment procurement.
