UNSPSC 25191817: Compression pressure gauge

A device that measures the compression pressure when the piston reaches the top dead center of the compression stroke on reciprocating type internal combustion engines. It is used to detect damage or leakage in cylinder, piston, piston ring, valve, head gasket and others.

UNSPSC 25191817 Compression pressure gauge is a Commodity code covering the sale of pressure measurement devices to state and local government agencies. The recent activity under this code shows minimal direct relevance to the Commodity's nominal scope; the most substantive recent opportunity—a Texas Department of Public Safety IFB for crash data retrieval kits—involves specialized automotive diagnostic equipment rather than general-purpose compression pressure gauges. The kits procured include crash data retrieval tools, event data recorder hardware bundles for multiple vehicle manufacturers (Hyundai, Kia, Genesis, Tesla), direct-to-module cables, and related connectivity adapters, with delivery to DPS Headquarters in Austin, Texas. The scope does not align clearly with compression pressure gauge procurement as traditionally understood under the Commodity code, suggesting the code may have been applied broadly or that state and local agencies tag this category loosely for measurement and diagnostic instrumentation.

The geographic activity is limited to Texas, with the Texas Department of Public Safety as the primary recent issuing body. The IFB (solicitation number 40526R0015950) closed on May 29, 2026, with an anticipated award date of June 5, 2026; responses were required in three volumes including contract forms, technical capabilities with three project references, and itemized pricing on a mandatory schedule. Bidders needed to demonstrate financial solvency through audited statements or Dun & Bradstreet reports, and all pricing had to include delivery on a no-minimum, as-needed basis to the DPS facility in Austin. The procurement was not set-aside but was noted as potentially sole source or proprietary under Texas law, with DPS welcoming equivalent product offerings. A second posting—a Williamson County Purchasing Department relocation notice—contains no procurement scope and does not constitute an opportunity. The limited recent activity and the mismatch between the code's scope and the crash-data work actually solicited suggest this code sees little substantive activity in state and local procurement right now.
