UNSPSC 41111649: Tire depth gauge

A measurement instrument for tire thickness that is designed to measure the abrasion limit of vehicle tires under the Road Transportation Act.

UNSPSC 41111649 Tire depth gauge is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The six most-recent state and local opportunities posted under this code over the past four months include high-precision 3D laser scanning systems, laser distance meters, motorcycle radar equipment, surveying and metrology instruments, and generic inspection supplies—none of which are tire depth gauges or related tire-maintenance equipment. The mismatch suggests either systematic miscoding within state and local procurement systems or that the code is dormant for tire-depth-gauge procurement while vendors and issuing bodies are tagging unrelated measurement and inspection tools to it instead.

The geographic spread of tagged opportunities spans Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas, with repeat activity from the Illinois Department of Transportation (two 3D laser scanning rebids in August and September 2026) and the University of Texas system (precision surveying equipment). The issuing bodies include state transportation departments, city procurement offices, county sheriffs' services, and university engineering schools. Without documented tire-depth-gauge procurement activity in the recent-opportunities block, a business development professional evaluating this code should verify independently whether state and local governments are actively soliciting tire-depth gauges elsewhere or through cooperative purchasing vehicles, as the indexed activity does not support pursuit under this UNSPSC designation at present.
