UNSPSC 41114209: Tachymeter or tacheometer

An instrument used to measure distances and, at the same time, horizontal and vertical angles.

UNSPSC 41114209 Tachymeter or tacheometer is a Commodity code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and the state and local opportunities currently posted under it. The City of Phoenix Finance Department's Central Procurement issued IFB-26-0057 in April 2026 for a five-year landscape, agricultural, and field maintenance equipment contract covering parts and accessories from manufacturers including Gravely, Jacobsen Mowers, Walker, and Ryan Turf Equipment — work entirely unrelated to surveying instruments. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority issued two successive automated transit vehicle procurements (P-24-019 and P26009) seeking SAE Level 4 automated driving systems and related rolling stock for Florida and continental U.S. transit agencies, also unrelated to the code's stated commodity. State and local procurement offices appear to have tagged these opportunities with the tachymeter code incorrectly; the code shows no recent activity aligned with surveying or measuring instruments that the UNSPSC name describes.

The City of Phoenix's landscape equipment RFP is a five-year requirements contract with a response date of January 9, 2026 (now closed), evaluating offers on responsiveness, responsibility, and lowest overall pricing, with pre-offer conference held December 19, 2025. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority's automated transit vehicle procurements closed March 23, 2026, under an IDIQ structure with potential multiple awards, 30 percent small business participation encouraged under neutral means, and implementation staged from late 2026 through 2028 with Federal Transit Administration funding under 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53. Neither opportunity relates to the tachymeter commodity itself. State and local governments pursuing this code should verify the correct UNSPSC classification for their target work; this code currently carries no actionable recent opportunities in surveying equipment procurement.
