UNSPSC 41111509: Floor or platform scales

UNSPSC 41111509 Floor or platform scales is a Commodity code covering maintenance, calibration, and supply of mechanical, hydrostatic, and electronic weighing systems for state and local government operations. The work being solicited ranges from preventative maintenance and baseline assessments to equipment calibration traceable to NIST standards and purchase of replacement scales and related components. Equipment sits across diverse operational settings — transfer stations, landfills, water treatment plants, police facilities, and dedicated weigh stations — serving multiple city departments simultaneously on an as-needed basis. Contracts typically span three years with renewal options and require vendors to hold advanced technical certifications, maintain 24/7 service availability, and demonstrate five or more years of documented experience in weighing systems maintenance. City governments are the primary issuing bodies under this code.

The City of Dallas posted the most recently visible opportunity under this code on March 12, 2026, soliciting proposals for comprehensive weighing systems maintenance and calibration services through a Request for Competitive Sealed Proposal (RFP) closing April 24, 2026. The Dallas procurement spans four city departments and equipment locations throughout the city, with evaluation weighted toward experience and qualifications (20 points), cost (30 points), and compliance with the City's Developing Regional & Inclusive Vendor Enterprises policy (20 points); a wage floor of $23.06 per hour applies to general service work, and SBE subcontracting aspirational benchmarks range from 30 to 38 percent depending on service category. The source does not identify recent opportunities from other jurisdictions or geographic regions beyond Dallas.
