UNSPSC 41111613: Distance meters

UNSPSC 41111613 Distance meters (Commodity) covers precision distance-measurement instruments and related survey equipment that state and local governments procure for traffic enforcement, geodetic surveying, and inspection operations. Recent solicitations show demand for specialized radar systems for speed enforcement, precision total stations for geodetic surveys, and general inspection equipment. State and local issuing bodies range from county sheriff's offices and county procurement services to university systems and municipal governments. The Marion County Board of County Commissioners and the University of Texas at Austin represent two distinct user classes—law enforcement and higher education—both active in this code within the past two months.

Marion County, Florida posted a sole-source procurement on July 6, 2026 for a Stalker 2X Motorcycle Radar System for the Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit, due July 13, 2026, citing proprietary direction-sensing radar technology and compatibility with existing inventory. The University of Texas at Austin, Cockrell School of Engineering posted an ITB on June 12, 2026 for a Leica TS-60 total station with precision metrology equipment and accessories (bids due June 30, 2026) to conduct geodetic surveys at McDonald Observatory, requiring gold certification at 0.6 millimeter distance precision. The City of Philadelphia issued a micro-purchase RFQ on May 21, 2026 for inspection supplies with a firm limit of $40,000 (quotes due May 27, 2026). Activity concentrates in Florida and Texas, with representation from municipal procurement in Pennsylvania; the three recent opportunities span solo-source, competitive ITB, and lowest-responsive-bidder formats across law enforcement, research infrastructure, and municipal supply.
