UNSPSC 41112809: Taximeter tester

A tester that verifies the running distance of the taxi meters installed in the business or individual taxi.

UNSPSC 41112809 Taximeter tester is a Commodity code that appears to see minimal recent activity aligned with its nominal scope in state and local procurement. The single recent opportunity posted under this code—the Metropolitan Transit Authority of Harris County (METRO) IFB IFBDOC2034259016 for rerailing equipment supply and re-rail truck outfitting—does not involve taximeter testing or related equipment. The solicitation instead calls for the supply and custom installation of a comprehensive rerailing system including hydraulic lifting cylinders, jacks, pumps, hoses, control manifolds, and truck-mounted storage and tie-down fixtures to support articulated light rail vehicle recovery operations, with all engineering design, fabrication, installation, testing, documentation, and personnel training performed by the contractor. This mismatch suggests the code assignment may not reflect the actual procurement activity or that taximeter testing equipment is not a current procurement priority among state and local transportation agencies.

The METRO procurement is located in Harris County, Texas, with an IFB due April 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. CST via electronic submission through METRO's EUNA (Bonfire) platform plus one hard copy; a pre-bid briefing is scheduled for March 23, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. CST via Microsoft Teams, with written questions due March 26, 2026, and METRO responses by March 31, 2026. The contract carries no small business participation goal or disadvantaged-enterprise set-asides, is 100% METRO-funded, and awards to the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Contractors must carry $5 million in commercial general liability coverage, self-perform at least 30% of contract value, comply with prevailing wage requirements, and maintain equipment under manufacturer-recommended maintenance programs. The contract term is one year with an optional month-to-month extension for up to six additional months at the same prices and terms.
