UNSPSC 41111646: Telescoping gauge

A gauge that is designed to measure the diameter or width of the hole or groove with the plunger in which the spring is loaded. When the handle screw is rotated, the plunger is accurately affixed.

UNSPSC 41111646 Telescoping gauge (Commodity) is tagged to a narrow range of precision measurement and surveying equipment recently solicited by state and local buyers, though the recent opportunities show limited direct relevance to the code's nominal scope. The University of Texas at Austin's Cockrell School of Engineering issued an ITB in June 2026 for a Leica TS-60 total station with precision metrology equipment and accessories to conduct geodetic surveys at McDonald Observatory, specifying gold-certification instruments, retroreflectors, tripods, and survey software. Marion County, Florida (Board of County Commissioners) posted a sole-source notice in July 2026 for a Stalker 2X Motorcycle Radar System for the Sheriff's Office Traffic Unit under Florida's statutory procurement rules. The City of Philadelphia solicited inspection supplies as a micro purchase under Firm Limit contract terms in May 2026, capped at $40,000 annually. The range of these opportunities—from precision geodetic instruments to law-enforcement radar to generic inspection supplies—suggests the code receives sparse or mismatched tagging in state and local systems and does not reflect a coherent procurement category in active use.

Activity is confined to Texas (University of Texas at Austin), Florida (Marion County), and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia), with no geographic clustering or repeat buyers evident in recent postings. The UT Austin TS-60 procurement, due June 30, 2026, was the most technically defined opportunity, requiring best-value evaluation under Texas Education Code Section 51.9335, compliance certification under the Governor's foreign-adversary executive order, 120-day bid validity, and delivery desired by July 15, 2026; other UT System institutions may access the resulting contract. The Marion County radar system was a seven-day sole-source notice per Florida statute, closed July 13, 2026, with no contract value disclosed. The Philadelphia inspection-supplies contract was a low-bid micro purchase with FOB destination delivery, electronic payment upon City approval, and 365-day term. The code shows no clear pattern of sustained buyer activity and appears to suffer from inconsistent or erroneous tagging across different jurisdictions.
