UNSPSC 27111823: Center gauge

An instrument used in installation and adjustment of shelves and screw bite, and testing of angle of tools. One side is used to measure angle while the other side has scales.

UNSPSC 27111823 Center gauge, a Commodity code, does not align with the state and local procurement activity recently tagged under it. The most recent opportunities posted against this code involve blades, transport cases, machetes, and flags—none of which fall within the scope of center gauges or measurement instruments. The Texas Office of the Attorney General's October 2026 IFB for blades and transport cases includes lightweight automatic knives, handcuffs, leg irons, foam and crushproof cases, and tourniquet pouches for statewide law enforcement use; the City of Philadelphia's September 2026 micro purchase labeled "Machete" and the City of Dallas's August 2026 ID/IQ solicitation for flags represent similarly unrelated commodity categories. The posting mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding in the jurisdiction's procurement system or that this code has been reassigned in the source data without corresponding updates to live opportunities.

The geographic spread of recent activity centers on Texas and Pennsylvania, with the Texas Office of the Attorney General appearing twice as an issuing body (both times for the same blades and transport cases IFB with an October 15, 2026 response deadline). The City of Philadelphia and City of Dallas round out the identified jurisdictions. Because the recent opportunities do not reflect actual center-gauge procurement, no representative solicitations for measurement instruments or gauges are present; the code shows no relevant recent activity under its nominal scope.
