UNSPSC 49211823: Measuring instrument for human body

A type of device that measures the bodily shape of human for each part thereof. It is structured with the anthropometer, tactometer, calipers, ruler and others to measure the length and thickness of each part of head, waist, chest, ears, face, hands, feet, and other parts.

UNSPSC 49211823 Measuring instrument for human body (Commodity) encompasses weight scales, body composition analyzers, tape measures, and related anthropometric assessment tools that state and local governments procure primarily through school districts and universities to support athletic programs, physical education curriculum, and fitness initiatives. Recent state and local solicitations under this code show heavy overlap with broader athletic equipment and supplies contracts, particularly in Texas and Georgia, where school districts bundle measuring instruments with apparel, strength-training equipment, and field supplies in comprehensive athletic procurement packages. Birdville Independent School District in North Richland Hills, Texas issued a competitive sealed proposal (RFCSP 002-27) in July 2026 for athletic equipment and supplies across 31 campuses and 15 sports programs with an estimated annual value of $867,443.31; Donna Independent School District in Cameron County issued separate catalog-discount RFPs in March 2026 for physical education supplies and power lifting equipment; and Fulton County Schools in Georgia solicited wrestling mats and related athletic equipment through IFB in May 2026. The code also appears in cooperative purchasing vehicles: the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA) issued a multi-state sealed bid for athletic supplies and equipment (#027-E) with response deadline August 13, 2026, covering 31 state member agencies including Georgia. Los Fresnos Consolidated Independent School District in Cameron County and the School Board of Marion County, Florida similarly issued competitive RFPs and term contracts for comprehensive physical education and athletic supplies in early 2026.

Solicitation activity concentrates heavily in Texas (Birdville, Harlingen, Donna, Los Fresnos, Northside independent school districts) and Georgia (Fulton County Schools, Albany State University, AEPA participation), with secondary activity in Florida, Connecticut (City of New Haven ropes course project), and Washington state (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment). School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with universities and county school systems appearing less frequently. Most recent opportunities employ RFP, IFB, or RFCSP as the solicitation vehicle, with pricing structured as catalog discounts or firm fixed-price bids and contract terms running one year with renewal options. The Sourcewell RFP (#061626) in June 2026 for law enforcement equipment and the City of New Haven's ropes challenge course RFP in June 2026 represent instances where the code's nominal scope diverges from actual recent activity; neither opportunity involves human-body measuring instruments as typically defined. Geographic concentration in Texas school districts and the prevalence of bundled athletic-equipment RFPs suggest that standalone measuring-instrument procurements may be uncommon at the commodity level, with these items typically absorbed into larger athletic or fitness equipment awards rather than competed separately.
