UNSPSC 41114522: Gear tester

An exclusive gear tester that measures several errors of gear.

UNSPSC 41114522 Gear tester is a Commodity code that spans optical surface measurement equipment, precision electrical test systems, and specialized laboratory instruments used across state and local technical facilities, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows limited direct alignment with the nominal taxonomy. The recent opportunities posted include optical surface profilometers for educational precision optics instruction (Valencia College), three-phase meter test boards for electric utility metering programs (City of Ocala Electric Utility), high-voltage capacitance and power factor measurement modules for utility testing (Kissimmee Utility Authority), airfield photometric testing services for runway and taxiway lighting compliance (Lee County Port Authority), laboratory equipment repair and maintenance for sterilization systems (Texas Health and Human Services Commission on behalf of the Department of State Health Services), atmospheric monitoring instruments for water and wastewater facilities (City of Phoenix Water Services), and spectrophotometers for waste-to-energy process monitoring (City of Tampa). Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include state departments, municipal utilities, county port authorities, cities, universities, and water/wastewater authorities. Repeat buyers include Lee County Port Authority (airfield photometric testing, posted twice within a three-month window in August and October 2026) and the Texas Health and Human Services Commission / Department of State Health Services (laboratory equipment repair and maintenance, posted twice in June and August 2026).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Texas, and the Southwest, with secondary activity in Colorado and Oregon. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Ocala Electric Utility's RFP for a Three-Phase Meter Test Board system (RFP #ELE/260570, due April 30, 2026, with best-value evaluation across firm qualifications, technical compliance, and price); Lee County Port Authority's e-quote for airfield photometric testing at Southwest Florida International Airport (Solicitation #2026115BW, due October 29, 2026, requiring three-year term, mobile test equipment, and FAA Advisory Circular 150/5345-46E compliance); and the City of Phoenix Water Services' IFB for atmospheric monitoring instruments—fixed (IFB-27-0435, due September 4, 2026, with DBE-N participation requirements and five-year term). Several posted opportunities do not substantively involve gear testing or measurement of mechanical components and appear to reflect procurement system tagging rather than true commodity-code alignment.
