UNSPSC 41111523: Weight prototype

An object or device that sets the standard to define the measurement unit of weight. The device has to be able to easily measure of the change by observation even if the indicated volume is slightly changed, and it has to maintain its property and unit shown for a long time.

UNSPSC 41111523 Weight prototype is a Commodity code that covers weighing equipment and systems procured by state and local governments for operational and regulatory applications. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies buying comprehensive weighing systems maintenance and calibration services, mechanical and electronic scales for sanitation and water utilities, and law enforcement equipment frameworks that may include specialized measurement devices. The issuing bodies span multiple jurisdictions: the City of Dallas procures weighing systems maintenance across four city departments; Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, is sourcing law enforcement equipment on behalf of participating entities across multiple states and counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima counties in Washington; and the Jacksonville Transportation Authority handles transit infrastructure maintenance across northeast Florida counties. The mix reflects both direct city procurement and cooperative purchasing arrangements designed to serve broad consortia of public entities.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Washington. The City of Dallas issued RFP BYZ2600029777 for three-year maintenance and calibration services of mechanical, hydrostatic, and electronic weighing systems, with a pre-proposal conference on March 24, 2026, and proposals due April 24, 2026, requiring five years of documented experience, NIST-traceable certifications, and 24/7 service availability within 50 miles of Dallas City Hall. Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment, posted May 12, 2026, with response due June 16, 2026, establishes a cooperative contracting vehicle available to thousands of governmental agencies across the United States and Canada. The Dallas procurement includes SBE subcontracting components under the City's DRIVE Policy with aspirational benchmarks ranging from 30 to 38 percent depending on service category, wage floor requirements of $23.06 per hour, and a local preference evaluation criterion worth 5 points. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority's earlier RFP P24025 for transit stop maintenance, though addressing infrastructure beyond pure weighing systems, signals active state and local procurement for maintenance and operational services in the region.
