UNSPSC 41114205: Location stake

UNSPSC 41114205 Location stake, a Commodity code, shows a significant mismatch between its nominal scope and the work state and local governments are actually buying under it. The recent opportunities tagged to this code span landscape and field maintenance equipment procurement and automated transit vehicle solutions—neither of which aligns with location stakes as typically understood in surveying or construction staking contexts. The City of Phoenix's five-year contract for landscape, agricultural, and field maintenance equipment, parts, and accessories (IFB-26-0057) covers equipment from manufacturers including Gravely, Jacobsen Mowers, Walker, and Ryan Turf Equipment, with contractors required to submit pricing as percentage discounts from published price lists and meet three years of operational history. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority's state-of-Florida automated transit vehicle procurement (P-26009) seeks SAE Level 4 automated driving systems across urban, suburban, academic, and highway environments—an entirely different commodity class. This code shows limited relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal definition.

The geographic spread centers on Florida and Arizona based on the two identifiable opportunities. The City of Phoenix Finance Department's Central Procurement issued the landscape equipment IFB with a response deadline of January 9, 2026, requiring sealed offers through the city's electronic procurement portal, pre-offer conference on December 19, 2025, and insurance coverage including $2,000,000 commercial general liability and $1,000,000 automobile liability. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority, designated as lead agency for the State of Florida, issued the automated transit vehicle RFP (P-26009) with a March 23, 2026 response deadline, non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on February 2, 2026, and substantial insurance requirements including $1,000,000 commercial general liability and $4,000,000 excess liability. The JTA procurement is subject to FTA funding under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53, prevailing wage protections, civil rights compliance, and DBE/SBE program requirements targeting 30 percent small business participation. The code presents limited opportunity for vendors focused on location stake services specifically.
