UNSPSC 41111519: Crane scale

A scale that measures the object with the scale attached on the ceiling to measure the weight. The display part is digitalized and widely used in the construction sites and industrial settings.

UNSPSC 41111519 Crane scale, a Commodity code, does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this classification. The code nominally describes weighing equipment, yet the sourced opportunities consistently solicit crane rental services with operators, crane and hoist maintenance and repair, overhead crane inspections and certifications, and related lifting and rigging labor — services that fall outside equipment procurement and into labor-intensive operations and maintenance contracting.

The recent opportunities in the dataset originate almost exclusively from the City of Detroit Office of Contracting and Procurement on behalf of various municipal departments (Transportation, Police, Public Works, General Services) and special-purpose entities (Gainesville Regional Utilities, Eastern Municipal Water District, Orange County Public Works, City of Tucson). Four of the sixteen sourced opportunities — Gainesville Regional Utilities' annual crane rental contract (ITB 2026-012, bids due July 1, 2026), Eastern Municipal Water District's overhead crane inspection and repair RFP (RFP3972, proposals due September 3, 2026), Orange County Public Works' crane rental services with operator IFB (IFB-080-3012301-DS, bids due May 7, 2026), and City of Tucson's crane and hoist maintenance RFQ (RFQ 230206, quotes due July 27, 2023) — represent genuine crane-related work. The remaining twelve opportunities under this code tag address painting supplies, sodium hypochlorite pool chemicals, program supplies for recreation centers, boat repair, steel signposts, antifreeze, retroreflective sign sheeting, CPR masks, election equipment transportation, street sweepers, ground maintenance, drain cleaning, background screening, janitorial services, document destruction, title search, asphalt, floriculture, and aggregate materials — none of which concern crane scales or weight measurement equipment. The classification appears to be a data-integrity issue rather than an active procurement signal in this commodity space.
