UNSPSC 41111529: Electronic weight scale

A digital weighing scale is the most accurate and precise analog front-end (AFE) instrument that uses force sensors to measure the load of an object.

UNSPSC 41111529 Electronic weight scale is a Commodity code. State and local governments buy portable and platform scales for commercial vehicle enforcement, fleet operations, and general municipal weighing and measurement under this code. Recent activity shows two direct scale acquisitions: the Michigan State Police procured 32 digital dual platform portable scales (Intercomp LTR788 model, NTEP Class IIII approved, 15,000 lbs per platform) for commercial vehicle enforcement under RFP 26000000, and Williamson County sought wheel load weighers for its L & W Unit. Beyond these targeted scale purchases, the code also appears in broader maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) supply contracts—notably the City of Tucson's RFP 240078 for comprehensive MRO supplies across 25 product categories (1,995 line items) where scales or weighing equipment may be included as components of larger procurement frameworks. Issuing bodies span state agencies (Michigan State Police), counties (Williamson County), and cities (Tucson, Milpitas, Owensboro). The Tucson and Milpitas MRO solicitations establish standing agreements to support diverse municipal maintenance needs across fleet, facilities, utilities, parks, and street operations; neither names electronic scales as a primary focus, but scales may be itemized within broader facilities or fleet inventories.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in the Southwest and Southeast. Michigan (Michigan State Police RFP 26000000 for 32 digital scales, due August 3, 2026) and Texas (Williamson County RFQ 26RFQ66 for wheel load weighers, due July 7, 2026) show direct scale procurement. Arizona (City of Tucson RFP 240078 for MRO supplies, due March 28, 2024 with a mandatory pre-submittal conference February 20, 2024) and California (City of Milpitas IFB 26-229 for MRO blanket purchase orders, due August 4, 2026, five-year term) represent larger jurisdictions buying across supply categories where scales may be embedded. The Michigan RFP is the most recent direct scale-specific opportunity; it specifies single-source procurement (Intercomp LTR788 manufacturer only), NTEP certification, wireless capability to 300 feet, and 45-day delivery from order to the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division facility in Dimondale. The scale market under this code shows episodic demand—targeting enforcement divisions, utilities, and municipal maintenance programs rather than continuous open catalogs.
