UNSPSC 41111508: Bodyweight measuring scales

UNSPSC 41111508 Bodyweight measuring scales is a Commodity code capturing the procurement of scales for weighing individuals, a common purchase across health departments, school districts, correctional facilities, and public health agencies. State and local governments buy these scales for clinics, fitness facilities, detention centers, and wellness programs where monitoring individual weight is operationally necessary. The equipment ranges from mechanical and digital floor scales to physician-grade or medical-facility models, typically specified by accuracy tolerance, capacity, and durability requirements. Issuing bodies include county health departments, municipal recreation departments, state corrections and public health agencies, and independent school districts; purchases are often small-dollar and routine, tagged to maintenance or supply budgets rather than treated as capital acquisitions.

The source provides no recent state or local contract opportunities under this code. Without posted RFPs, RFQs, ITBs, or IFBs in the data, geographic concentration and representative solicitation activity cannot be characterized. This quiet posting history suggests either that bodyweight scales are typically procured through small purchases below formal notice thresholds, awarded under pre-existing cooperative purchasing agreements, or embedded within larger health-services or facilities-maintenance contracts classified to broader codes. Firms pursuing this commodity should monitor county health procurement calendars, school district capital-equipment cycles, and state-agency facilities-management RFQs for embedded scale specifications rather than expect standalone solicitations under this code.
