UNSPSC 41111906: Chart recorders

UNSPSC 41111906 Chart recorders is a Commodity code that in recent state and local procurement appears misaligned with its nominal scope — the two recent opportunities tagged to this code involve art paper supplies and OEM toner cartridges, neither of which are chart recorders or recording instruments. The School Board of Seminole County, Florida, and Rockwood R-VI School District in Missouri both posted solicitations under this code, but both purchases are office and educational supply consumables rather than instrumentation. School districts represent the issuing-body type in the recent pipeline for this code, though the actual products being procured fall outside the traditional definition of chart recorders.

Geographic activity appears concentrated in Florida and Missouri based on the recent opportunities. The Seminole County Schools issued an Invitation to Bid in October 2018 for a 12-month supply of art paper products (construction paper, charcoal paper, sketch pads, newsprint, watercolor paper, and related items) with delivery to a central warehouse in Sanford, Florida, awarding to multiple vendors including S&S Worldwide, School Specialty, and Pyramid. Rockwood School District posted a Request for Bids on May 1, 2026, with a response deadline of May 22, 2026, for OEM toner cartridges from HP and other manufacturers under a five-year contract commencing November 1, 2026. The code shows little recent activity aligned with its stated commodity definition, suggesting either a cataloging mismatch in state and local procurement systems or that actual chart-recorder demand under this code is not currently surfacing in posted solicitations.
