UNSPSC 41114211: Altimeter

A meter that measures the height above sea level. It is the device used to measure the present height at certain position or the height of the height of certain object or point on the ground.

UNSPSC 41114211 Altimeter is a Commodity code that covers surveying and positioning measurement equipment and related maintenance services purchased by state departments of transportation, county and municipal governments, and transit authorities. State and local buyers under this code procure GPS and GNSS survey systems, robotic surveying instruments, and supporting firmware, software, and field equipment—typically paired with maintenance, repair, warranty, and customer support contracts to sustain existing equipment inventories across distributed operational locations.

Illinois Department of Transportation dominates recent activity, posting two separate sole source maintenance contracts within the past three months: one to Seiler Instrument for Trimble Survey-GPS equipment maintenance and repair (solicitation 27494DOTFINADB52604, due June 4, 2026, contract value $1,497,317.87 for one year beginning July 1, 2026) and another to Kara Co., Inc. for Leica Survey Equipment Maintenance and Repairs (solicitation 27494DOTFINADB51426, due April 22, 2026, estimated value $194,046.61). Both IDOT contracts emphasize that equipment downtime would disrupt project timelines, trigger federal funding loss, and compromise public safety; each references incumbent vendor relationships dating to 2020 or earlier. Sarasota County, Florida issued a sole source procurement (2026ISS657) for Leica Geosystems surveying solutions through FLT Geosystems, with a response deadline of April 10, 2026. These opportunities cluster in the Midwest and Southeast; IDOT's geographic service area spans nine districts statewide, while Sarasota County and FLT Geosystems' authorized territory include Florida and parts of Georgia and the Caribbean. Klein Independent School District's RFP 26-101 (due June 5, 2026) nominally covers Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources but shows no direct altimeter or surveying equipment relevance, suggesting a code-assignment mismatch. Recent state and local activity under this code centers narrowly on sole source equipment maintenance and repair contracts tied to incumbent vendor authorizations rather than new equipment procurement.
