About UNSPSC 27111801
UNSPSC 27111801 Tape measures is a Commodity code covering the supply of hand-held and retractable measuring tapes commonly used in construction, maintenance, and facility-management operations across state and local public agencies. Recent solicitations under this code show state and local governments procuring standard tape measures as routine supply items through micro-purchase mechanisms. The City of Philadelphia is the repeat issuing body in the recent record, soliciting tape measures under two separate micro-purchase quotations in October 2026, each with a pricing ceiling of $45,000 for the fiscal year July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027.
Philadelphia's micro-purchase solicitations (RFQ B2728210, due October 16, 2026, and RFQ B2728094, due October 5, 2026) reflect typical state and local purchasing patterns for this commodity — low-dollar, line-item-eligible awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with submission through municipal procurement portals, standard insurance requirements (workers' compensation at statutory limits, general liability at $500,000 per occurrence, and automobile liability at $300,000 per occurrence), and optional diversity-certification reporting (LGBTBE, MBE, WBE, DSBE, DBE). The recent activity shows the code concentrated in Pennsylvania as of October 2026, with no geographic breadth evident in the posted opportunities.
