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 is a Commodity code that encompasses surveying instruments, positioning equipment, and related hardware used to establish spatial reference points and boundaries—though recent state and local opportunities show the code is being applied inconsistently, with some solicitations naming it in contexts where it does not align with the nominal scope. Monroe County, Florida's RFQ 649 for Professional Surveying Continuing Services, posted September 24, 2026, with responses due October 27, represents the clearest fit: the County is retaining at least three qualified surveying firms or individuals under four-year continuing-service contracts to perform boundary surveys, topographic analyses, right-of-way determinations, elevation certificate preparation, and metes-and-bounds interpretation on a task-order basis, with individual projects capped at $250,000 in construction cost or $25,000 in professional-services fees and compensation structured as hourly rates or negotiated not-to-exceed amounts. Respondents must hold current professional surveying licenses, maintain General Liability coverage of $500,000 Combined Single Limit and Professional Liability of $500,000 per occurrence / $1,000,000 aggregate, and meet state-mandated certifications including Non-Collusion Affidavits and Public Entity Crime Statements. Two additional recent opportunities—the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County's RFEI for a mass-burn waste-to-energy facility (posted September 11, due November 18) and Illinois Department of Transportation sole-source notices for Trimble software and GPS equipment maintenance (posted September 9 and May 21)—were tagged with this code but address facility design-build-operate-maintain services and equipment maintenance rather than coordinate-comparator hardware or surveying instruments, suggesting code-tagging inconsistency across jurisdictions.

Monroe County represents a repeat buyer of surveying services in Florida; IDOT's activity is concentrated in Illinois and focuses on equipment maintenance rather than instrument procurement. The geographic spread is limited to Florida and Illinois in recent postings, with no evidence of activity in other states. The Monroe County opportunity is the only current-state solicitation with direct relevance to coordinate-comparator instrumentation, and it is structured as a qualifications-based RFQ for professional services rather than a product procurement. Code activity is sparse and mixed in quality of tagging; the space warrants monitoring Monroe County for task-order awards and watching for future Florida municipal or county surveying RFPs, but does not signal strong procurement momentum under this commodity at present.
