UNSPSC 41111639: Screw plug gauge and cross recess

A gauge designed to measure the shape of a cross-recessed groove and the depth of the hole inscribed on the head of the screw components including, cross-recessed head machine screws, cross-recessed head taping screws, cross-recessed head wood screws and the like.

UNSPSC 41111639 Screw plug gauge and cross recess (Commodity) does not align with the work actually being solicited under this code in recent state and local opportunities. The recent postings feature high-precision laser scanning systems, laser distance meters, motorcycle radar equipment, geodetic total stations, and general inspection supplies—none of which are screw plug gauges or cross recess products. The Illinois Department of Transportation posted two separate bids in August and September 2026 for handheld 3D laser scanning systems meeting metrology-grade specifications; the University of Texas at Austin solicited Leica TS-60 total stations and geodetic surveying equipment; Marion County Procurement Services procured a Stalker 2X motorcycle radar system as a sole-source award; and the City of Philadelphia and City of Pennsylvania each issued small micro-purchase notices for inspection supplies and a laser distance meter, respectively. This code shows minimal relevant recent activity for business development targeting traditional gauge and cross recess procurement.

The issuing bodies span state departments, universities, counties, and municipalities, with no single repeat buyer dominating the postings. Activity appears concentrated in Illinois and Texas, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania and Florida. The geographic spread and issuing-body fragmentation, combined with the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the equipment actually being procured, suggest that either the recent opportunities were misclassified in the UNSPSC taxonomy or this particular code receives limited legitimate state and local procurement activity. Firms pursuing contracts under this code should verify classification alignment with specific issuing bodies before responding to future solicitations.
