UNSPSC 41111631: Radius gauge

A gauge that measures the rounding part of automobile or machine component.

UNSPSC 41111631 Radius gauge (Commodity) encompasses precision measurement instruments, though recent state and local solicitations under this code show minimal alignment with the nominal gauge category. State and local purchasing activity tagged to this code instead includes high-precision 3D laser scanning systems for pavement metrology, laser distance meters, and specialized survey equipment. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) Bureau of Business Services appears as the standout repeat buyer, posting two separate rebids for handheld 3D laser scanning systems intended for pavement analysis and certification work at the Illinois Certification and Research Track (ICART). Equipment solicited under this code demands metrology-grade specifications — volumetric accuracy of 0.020 mm plus 0.040 mm/m, VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360 certification from ISO 17025 accredited laboratories, blue laser technology with 30 or more laser lines, and compatibility with Autodesk, Siemens, PTC, and Dassault Systems software platforms. Issuing bodies include state transportation departments, municipal public works offices, and academic institutions; the City of Philadelphia (micro purchase for inspection supplies) and the University of Texas at Austin (Leica TS-60 total stations for geodetic surveys at McDonald Observatory) also appear in the recent record.

Recent activity concentrates in Illinois and Texas, with limited activity in Florida (Marion County Sheriff's Office radar system) and Pennsylvania (municipal laser distance meter). IDOT posted a rebid (Solicitation 27494DOTFINADB53879) for a handheld 3D laser scanning system with response due September 25, 2026, and an earlier solicitation (26494DOTFINADB53475) with response due August 18, 2026, both specifying newly manufactured equipment from established manufacturers or authorized dealers only, with training and warranty repair at vendor cost through June 30, 2027. The University of Texas at Austin issued ITB 721-26091 on June 12, 2026 and reposted June 30, 2026 for Leica TS-60 total stations and precision surveying equipment with bids closing June 30, 2026; the scope includes gold-certification instruments at 0.6 mm distance and 0.5" angle precision for geodetic surveys. The code shows little substantive recent activity broadly — the posted opportunities appear miscoded relative to the code's nominal scope, suggesting this code sees limited genuine state and local procurement activity for radius gauges proper.
