UNSPSC 41114214 Survey template is a Commodity code that covers survey equipment maintenance, repair services, and associated technical support that state and local transportation and county government agencies procure to sustain existing surveying infrastructure. Recent solicitations show state DOTs and county governments buying maintenance contracts for high-end surveying systems—primarily Trimble and Leica GNSS and robotic survey equipment—covering hardware warranty services, firmware upgrades, software maintenance, field repairs, and vendor support. The Illinois Department of Transportation has issued two sole source maintenance contracts: one to Seiler Instrument for Trimble Survey-GPS equipment maintenance across nine districts for $1,497,317.87 (contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027), and another to Kara Co., Inc. for Leica survey equipment maintenance and repairs valued at $194,046.61 (same contract period). Sarasota County, Florida posted a sole source procurement for Leica Geosystems surveying solutions through FLT Geosystems, the exclusive authorized distributor, encompassing GNSS systems, robotic instruments, field and office software, firmware, and customer care packages. These procurements are consistently structured as one-year sole source awards tied to exclusive distribution or service agreements, with no renewal options and funding from state appropriated sources.

Recent activity clusters heavily in Illinois and Florida, with isolated opportunities in Utah and Texas. The issuing-body mix spans state transportation departments (IDOT leading), county governments (Sarasota County), and municipal or special districts (Summit County, Utah issued an RFP for reconnaissance-level historical structure surveys within a $20,000 budget, though this entry appears tangential to the core equipment maintenance scope). The code sees minimal geographic spread in the dataset: Illinois dominates with two recent IDOT contracts (response dates April 22, 2026 and June 4, 2026), Florida with Sarasota County (April 10, 2026), and Utah with Summit County (February 19, 2026). All three transportation-focused opportunities named in the recent block are sole source awards to exclusive authorized vendors—a structural signal that capacity in this code is often locked by exclusive distribution or service agreements with equipment manufacturers. Incumbent contractors dominate; both Illinois contracts went to long-standing vendors with documented contracts since 2020 or earlier.
