UNSPSC 49211832: Balance tester

A type of device that measures the equilibrium as the body balance maintaining capability. It is structured with a set for the mat attached with the measurement sensor and the measurement terminal.

UNSPSC 49211832 Balance tester is a Commodity code covering balance assessment and testing equipment that state and local governments procure primarily through school districts and municipal recreation and fitness programs. Recent state and local solicitations under this code reveal actual purchasing focused on commercial fitness equipment service contracts—including preventative maintenance, repair, and supply of multi-brand balance and testing devices—rather than standalone balance testers alone. The City of Tucson's RFP 270143 (due October 15, 2026) for fitness equipment maintenance and repair services across Parks and Recreation, Police, and Fire departments exemplifies the scope: the city seeks vendors capable of servicing balance-assessment and cardio equipment from manufacturers including Paramount, Precor, TRUE, Life Fitness, Keiser, and others across 40 locations. Issuing bodies include municipal recreation departments, city fitness centers, police and fire department training facilities, and school districts procuring athletic and wellness equipment. Vendors typically compete on preventative maintenance pricing, on-call repair labor rates and trip charges, parts discounts, and ability to meet warranty and compliance requirements including federal prevailing wage standards and ARPA compliance where applicable.

Geographic recent activity spans Texas (Tucson, Austin Independent School District, Birdville Independent School District, Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District, Texas A&M University), Georgia (Fulton County Schools, AEPA's 31-state member agencies including Georgia), Connecticut (City of New Haven), and multi-state cooperative purchasing through Sourcewell and the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies. Beyond Tucson's maintenance-focused procurement, school districts dominate the code's recent activity through athletic-equipment RFPs and IFBs that bundle balance and conditioning equipment with uniforms, supplies, and apparel—such as Birdville Independent School District's RFCSP 002-27 (estimated annual value $867,443.31, contract term September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2031 with four optional renewals) and Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District's Athletic Strength & Conditioning RFP (due May 4, 2026). Fulton County Schools issued IFB 214-26 for wrestling mats (due May 26, 2026), and the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies solicited athletic supplies and equipment on behalf of 31 state members (bids due August 13, 2026). Most recent responses cluster in May through October 2026, with response dates typically 15 to 60 days post-posting.
