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 is a Commodity code showing minimal relevance to recent state and local procurement activity. The code's abstract scope—precision measurement instruments—does not align with the opportunities posted under it. Recent solicitations under this code span high-precision 3D laser scanning systems (Illinois Department of Transportation), handheld laser distance meters (City of Pennsylvania), motorcycle radar systems (Marion County, Florida), surveying-grade total stations and metrology equipment (University of Texas at Austin), and generic inspection supplies (City of Philadelphia). These represent disparate product families—optical scanning, distance measurement, radar, geodetic surveying, and unspecified inspection consumables—rather than telescoping gauges or related precision bore and diameter measurement tools. The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, municipal procurement offices, county sheriffs' offices, higher-education institutions, and cities, reflecting a typical cross-sector mix.

The recent activity spans Illinois (two IDOT 3D laser scanning solicitations posted August 10 and September 21, 2026), Florida (Marion County motorcycle radar, July 2026), Texas (University of Texas geodetic surveying equipment, June 2026), and Pennsylvania and Pennsylvania municipalities (laser distance meter and inspection supplies, May through September 2026). No opportunities in the block target telescoping gauges, depth micrometers, or other mechanical precision gauges typically covered by the code's nominal scope. The Illinois Department of Transportation appears twice as a buyer of specialized metrology equipment, but neither procurement directly matches traditional gauge products. Business development professionals should treat this code as showing limited relevant activity for precision gauge suppliers; the mismatch between the code label and posted solicitations suggests either miscoding in the source records or a gap between the code's taxonomy intent and actual procurement practice in these jurisdictions.
