UNSPSC 41111645: Sine bar

A measurement tool that is used to find out the accurate angle of the workpiece.

UNSPSC 41111645 Sine bar is a Commodity code that nominally refers to precision measurement equipment, but recent state and local solicitations under this code show virtually no alignment with traditional sine bars. Instead, the tagged opportunities describe high-precision handheld 3D laser scanning systems, total-station surveying instruments, motorcycle radar systems, and general inspection supplies—a mismatch indicating either tagging error or significant scope drift. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has posted two rebids for high-precision handheld 3D laser scanning systems intended for pavement analysis at the Illinois Certification and Research Track (ICART), specifying metrology-grade accuracy to 0.025 mm with blue-laser technology, volumetric accuracy of 0.020 mm + 0.040 mm/m, and certification to VDI/VDE 2634 Part 3 and ISO 10360 standards. The University of Texas at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering solicited Leica TS-60 total stations with precision metrology equipment for geodetic surveys at McDonald Observatory. Beyond these precision-measurement instruments, the remaining tagged opportunities include a 150-foot laser distance meter from the City of Pennsylvania, a Stalker 2X motorcycle radar system from Marion County, Florida, and general inspection supplies from the City of Philadelphia—none of which fit the sine-bar category.

Activity under this code appears concentrated in Illinois and Texas during the summer and early fall of 2026, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania and Florida. The issuing bodies include state departments of transportation, municipal governments, county commissions, and university systems. The two IDOT laser-scanning rebids (solicitations 26494DOTFINADB53475 and 27494DOTFINADB53879) closed August 18 and September 25, 2026 respectively, both requiring newly manufactured equipment from established manufacturers or authorized dealers with ISO 17025 accreditation and VDI/VDE certification. The University of Texas ITB 721-26091 for TS-60 and metrology equipment closed June 30, 2026 with best-value award criteria under Texas Education Code Section 51.9335 and a desired delivery date of July 15, 2026. The Marion County sole-source procurement for the Stalker 2X (posted July 6, 2026, due July 13, 2026) justifies single-source award on proprietary technology and compatibility grounds. The scope and recent activity under this code do not align clearly with its nominal designation; if your firm pursues precision measurement systems or surveying instruments for state and local government, verify UNSPSC coding with the issuing body before responding.
