UNSPSC 41111635: Gage block comparator

A measurement device that compares and inspects gauge block with the gauge block for master-level.

UNSPSC 41111635 Gage block comparator is a Commodity code whose recent state and local solicitations show little alignment with the abstract code name — the posted opportunities span motorcycle radar systems, precision survey instrumentation, and generic inspection supplies with no connection to gage blocks or dimensional metrology comparators. The City of Philadelphia solicited inspection supplies under a micro-purchase Firm Limit contract in May 2026, Marion County Florida posted a sole-source notice for a Stalker 2X Motorcycle Radar System in July 2026, and the University of Texas at Austin issued an ITB for Leica TS-60 total stations and geodetic metrology equipment in June 2026. The issuing bodies are geographically dispersed — a county commission, a municipality, and a state university system — with no pattern of repeat buying under this code.

Recent activity centers on Texas and Florida. The University of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering ITB 721-26091, posted June 12 and June 30, 2026 with bids due June 30, 2026, requested Leica TS-60 instruments at gold certification (0.6 mm distance and 0.5" angle precision), retroreflectors, geodetic-grade tripods, and supporting equipment for precision surveys of geodetic ground stations at McDonald Observatory, with desired delivery by July 15, 2026 and award on best value criteria. Marion County Board of County Commissioners posted sole-source procurement 26SS-108 on July 6, 2026 for a Stalker 2X Motorcycle Radar System for the Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit, with proposals due July 13, 2026 and Applied Concepts, Inc. identified as the sole manufacturer. The code shows no clear procurement pattern, and the recent opportunities do not reflect gage block or comparator specifications — this appears to be a classification mismatch in the source data rather than active market demand under the code's stated commodity.
