UNSPSC 41114202: Measuring rods

UNSPSC 41114202 Measuring rods is a Commodity code, but recent state and local procurement activity under this designation does not align with the code's nominal scope—the three posted opportunities span landscape and field maintenance equipment, parts, and accessories (City of Phoenix), and automated transit vehicle procurement across Florida and the continental United States (Jacksonville Transportation Authority). The code shows minimal relevant recent activity for measuring rods as traditionally defined.

The single opportunity tangentially connected to dimensional measurement tools is the City of Phoenix Finance Department's IFB 260057, posted April 13, 2026, seeking various landscape, agricultural, and field maintenance equipment, parts, and accessories under a five-year contract commencing April 1, 2026. This solicitation covers equipment from 38 specified manufacturers including Gravely, Jacobsen Mowers, Walker, and Ryan Turf Equipment, with sealed offers due January 9, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. through the city's electronic Procurement Portal; contractors must submit pricing as percentage discounts from manufacturers' published price lists and demonstrate three years of operational history in similar goods and services. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority posted two automated transit vehicle procurements (P-24-019, due September 11, 2024, and P-26-009, due March 23, 2026) seeking SAE Level 4 automated driving systems across Florida and the continental United States—work wholly unrelated to measuring rods. Bidders on the Phoenix opportunity face substantial insurance requirements including $2,000,000 aggregate commercial general liability and potential DBE compliance obligations. The mismatch between the code's stated purpose and the actual solicitations suggests either tagging error by the issuing jurisdictions or that this code is rarely deployed for its intended purpose in state and local procurement.
