UNSPSC 41111626: Gauge block

A precision ground and lapped measuring standard. It is used as a reference for the setting or calibration of measuring equipment.

UNSPSC 41111626 Gauge block, a Commodity code, covers precision measurement standards and calibration blocks that state and local governments use in manufacturing inspection, quality assurance, and laboratory operations. Gauge blocks—also called slip gauges or Jo blocks—are hardened steel or ceramic standards used to verify the accuracy of measuring instruments and machine tools in production and maintenance environments. State and local procurement under this code spans manufacturing facilities within departments of transportation, public utilities, water treatment plants, and equipment maintenance shops operated by county and municipal governments, as well as vocational and technical schools that support workforce training in machining and precision manufacturing.

The source provides no recent state and local contract opportunities tagged to this code. Without posted solicitations or awarded contracts in the available records, the current activity level under UNSPSC 41111626 cannot be characterized by issuing-body type, geographic concentration, or recent notice dates. This code may see irregular or low-volume procurement from a scattered base of technical maintenance operations rather than the consolidated buying patterns typical of higher-volume commodity codes.
