UNSPSC 41114213: Coordinate comparator

A type of device that is designed to measure the plane coordinates on the photo. It is the equipment that is the basis of interpretive photographic surveying e.g., aerotriangulation, application photographic surveying, cadastration, digital photogrammetry and others.

UNSPSC 41114213 Coordinate comparator (Commodity) shows minimal activity relevant to the code's nominal scope. State and local solicitations tagged with this code include survey equipment maintenance and repairs, educational instructional resources, and automated transit vehicles — none of which constitute coordinate comparators as measuring instruments or software tools. The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) posted two sole source procurements for maintenance and repair services: one with Seiler Instrument for Trimble Survey-GPS equipment ($1,497,317.87, contract term July 1, 2026–June 30, 2027) and one with Kara Co., Inc. for Leica Survey equipment ($194,046.61, same contract term). Sarasota County, Florida also issued a sole source notice (ISS 2026-ISS-657) for Leica Geosystems surveying solutions through FLT Geosystems, covering GNSS systems, robotic instruments, and software. These three opportunities are equipment maintenance and warranty services, not coordinate comparators. Klein Independent School District (Klein ISD) in Harris County, Texas issued an RFP (due June 5, 2026) for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources spanning 17 CTE program areas and AP/honors instruction — unrelated to surveying instruments. The Jacksonville Transportation Authority posted solicitations (P-26-009 and P-24-019, due March 23, 2026) for automated transit vehicles with SAE Level 4 capability, also unrelated to the code's scope.

The code exhibits no genuine recent procurement activity in coordinate comparators or like surveying measurement tools at the commodity level. The mismatch between the code's name and the actual work being solicited suggests classification error in the sourced opportunities rather than active demand for the product category itself. Geographic activity centers on Illinois (IDOT), Florida (Sarasota County and Jacksonville Transportation Authority), and Texas (Klein ISD), but these represent misclassified solicitations, not a market signal for coordinate comparators. Firms pursuing this code should verify classification accuracy with issuing bodies before bid preparation, as the opportunities on record do not reflect demand for the instrument type the code nominally describes.
