UNSPSC 41114201: Measuring tapes

UNSPSC 41114201 Measuring tapes is a Commodity code that does not map to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The opportunities posted under this code include a motorcycle radar system (Marion County Sheriff's Office), precision surveying and metrology equipment including a Leica TS-60 total station (University of Texas at Austin), and generic inspection supplies (City of Philadelphia). None of these solicitations involve measuring tapes or tape-measure procurement. The mismatch suggests either broad misclassification by issuing bodies or secondary tagging unrelated to the code's nominal scope. Measuring tapes do not appear in any of the recent opportunities, limiting visibility into actual state and local demand for this product category.

The geographic spread of posted activity spans Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania, though the opportunities themselves fall outside the code's defined commodity. The University of Texas at Austin issued the most recent substantive opportunity—an ITB for precision geodetic survey equipment with bids due June 30, 2026—but the scope involves advanced metrology instrumentation rather than hand-measurement tools. Without representative purchasing data for measuring tapes specifically, no clear pattern of state or local demand emerges under this code. Business development professionals evaluating this code should verify whether state and local procurement offices are correctly applying the UNSPSC classification or whether measuring tape opportunities appear under different code families within the Tools and General Merchandise Segment.
