UNSPSC 73152109: Industrial weight scale maintenance and rental service

Includes maintenance repair and rental of scales

UNSPSC 73152109 Industrial weight scale maintenance and rental service is a Commodity code for preventative maintenance, repair, calibration, and emergency support on weighing equipment installed at fixed locations — primarily truck scales, platform scales, and weigh-in-motion systems operated by transportation departments, waste management agencies, and solid waste facilities. State and local governments procure this code chiefly through industrial and transportation departments managing commercial vehicle enforcement facilities, highway weigh stations, and solid waste collection infrastructure. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies spanning state departments of transportation, county waste authorities, city solid waste divisions, and county transportation enforcement agencies. California Department of Highway Patrol and Florida Department of Transportation are the most active recent buyers, though the City of Tampa, County of Orange, and Solid Waste Authority of Palm Beach County also solicit regularly under this code.

Work solicited includes semi-annual and quarterly preventative maintenance, load cell and system inspections, calibration to National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and ASTM standards, emergency repair services with specified response times (typically four to 24 hours on-site), and parts supply on a cost-plus basis. Geographic activity concentrates in California (particularly the Bay Area and Southern California), Florida, and Illinois. Representative recent opportunities include the California Department of Highway Patrol's IFB 26C291004 for semi-annual maintenance of platform scales at Livermore on Highway 580 (bids due August 11, 2026), the Florida Department of Transportation's RFP for statewide weigh station scale maintenance across 50+ locations (proposals due June 11, 2026), and the County of Orange's IFB for truck scale maintenance and repair at three landfills and four hazardous waste collection centers (bids due May 15, 2026). Bidders must typically hold California Registered Service Agency (RSA) or equivalent state licensure, manufacturer-specific equipment certifications, and contractor's licenses; performance bonds of $2.5 million and liability insurance are common. Contract terms typically run three to five years with renewal options.
