UNSPSC 41114513: Eccentricity measuring instrument

An instrument for tool measurement that is used to measure eccentricity of several tools, arbor, shaft and saw tooth, and used for the measurement of circular shapes.

UNSPSC 41114513 Eccentricity measuring instrument is a Commodity code that shows minimal recent relevance to state and local procurement activity. The source records ten recent state and local opportunities tagged with this code, but nearly all represent laboratory testing services, laboratory equipment repair and maintenance, water treatment plant construction, utility metering systems, fatigue testing equipment, and fire station construction inspection—scopes unrelated to eccentricity measurement instruments or precision dimensional analysis equipment. Only one opportunity, a City of Tampa RFQ (26-P-00372) for a Heck DR4900 Spectrophotometer replacement at the McKay Bay Waste to Energy facility, approaches measurable instrumentation, but a spectrophotometer measures optical absorbance rather than eccentricity. The code appears to have been applied as a catch-all or default classifier for technical procurement activity in laboratory and testing contexts rather than as a targeted taxonomy code for the specific commodity it nominally describes.

State and local issuing bodies across the dataset—county transportation departments (Broward County Transportation, Marion County), regional utilities (Lubbock Power & Light), water authorities (City of Palm Bay), cities (Tampa, Ocala, Orlando), health agencies (Santa Clara County Public Health Lab, Texas Department of State Health Services), municipalities (Waterford, Connecticut), and university systems (Texas A&M, Lamar University)—are actively acquiring laboratory and testing services and equipment. However, their procurement activity clusters around laboratory management systems, spectrophotometers, oil analysis testing, construction materials testing, meter test boards, electric vehicle charger maintenance, and servo-hydraulic fatigue testing systems. None of these solicitations target eccentricity measurement instruments or precision dimensional gaging. The geographic span includes Florida, Texas, Oregon, Connecticut, Colorado, and California, but the actual scope of work does not align with the code's nominal definition. This code warrants a skip for vendors offering precision dimensional measurement, roundness analysis, or concentricity gaging equipment; the tagging appears to reflect administrative misclassification rather than genuine demand.
