UNSPSC 41114217: Lead line

A type of device that is used for surveying. It is the line with the scale and it is generally made for steel chain, hemp yarn, cotton yarn, glass fiber and others, and it hangs the weight made by iron or lead at the end of the line.

UNSPSC 41114217 Lead line, a Commodity code, encompasses professional surveying services including boundary surveys, right-of-way determinations, topographic analyses, elevation certificate preparation, and metes-and-bounds interpretation that state and local governments procure for infrastructure planning, real estate transactions, and facility management. Monroe County, Florida's RFQ649 for Professional Surveying Continuing Services exemplifies the work being bought: the County is retaining at least three qualified firms under four-year continuing-service contracts with projects awarded on a task-order basis, individual projects capped at construction costs not exceeding $250,000 or professional services fees not exceeding $25,000, and compensation based on hourly rates or negotiated not-to-exceed amounts. Issuing bodies under this code include county governments and state departments of transportation; Monroe County and the Illinois Department of Transportation both appear as active buyers in recent records, with IDOT procuring Trimble Survey-GPS equipment maintenance and repair services and related CORS software management that underpin statewide positioning infrastructure.

Geographic activity centers in Florida and Illinois, with Monroe County in the Florida Keys and the Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County (which uses surveying services within broader design-build-operate-maintain procurement for waste-to-energy facilities) representing activity in south Florida, while IDOT's multiple sole-source renewals for Trimble equipment services span all nine Districts and the Central Office across Illinois. Recent opportunities include Monroe County's RFQ649 due October 27, 2026, requesting responses for boundary surveys and topographic analysis on a continuing basis; the Illinois Department of Transportation's May 2026 sole-source award to Seiler Instrument for Trimble Survey-GPS equipment maintenance and repair valued at $1,497,317.87 for the July 2026–June 2027 fiscal year; and a September 2026 IDOT change order notice to Seiler Instrument for Pivot Software and CORS Software supporting Trimble Network Managed Services valued at $1.23 million. All surveying respondents to Monroe County must hold current professional and occupational surveying licenses and provide General Liability, Professional Liability, Workers' Compensation, Business Automobile Liability, and Employers' Liability insurance coverage.
