UNSPSC 44111807: Scales

UNSPSC 44111807 Scales is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure maintenance, repair, and calibration services for industrial truck scales and associated weighing equipment used at waste facilities, landfills, and collection centers. The County of Orange, OC Waste & Recycling, recently solicited truck scale maintenance and repair services through an Invitation for Bid (IFB2992971803AA1) covering preventative maintenance, emergency repairs, and calibration for Emery Winslow and Fairbanks truck scales deployed across three landfills and four household hazardous waste collection centers in Orange County, California. The scope includes quarterly and annual preventative maintenance during standard business hours (Monday–Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.), emergency response within four hours with on-site arrival within twelve hours, and parts inventory management. Contractors must be Registered Service Agencies licensed by the California Department of Food and Agriculture's Division of Measurement Standards and possess specific experience with Emery Winslow load cells, Genesis Motor truck scales, and GSA Scale Systems Model 465 weight indicators. Compensation is structured as a usage-based contract with hourly labor rates for journeyman technicians, assistant technicians, and laborers, plus markups for parts, materials, and travel time, differentiated by time of service.

The County of Orange represents the primary recent issuing body for this code. The Orange County solicitation closed on May 15, 2026, and the contract will be effective June 25, 2026, for an initial one-year term with four optional renewal years. The procurement includes County of Orange Local Small Business (OCLSB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) set-asides with a five percent price-evaluation preference (maximum $100,000 deduction), and an eight percent preference for dual-certified OCLSB and DVBE businesses. Bidders must submit proof of insurance, valid DUNS and UEI numbers, a current California Contractor's License, and performance and labor-and-material payment bonds equal to the estimated contract value. No price increases are permitted during the first contract year without documented cost-increase justification and thirty days' advance written notice. The total contract value is to be determined based on competitive bids received.
