UNSPSC 41111916: Non contact sensors

UNSPSC 41111916 Non contact sensors, a Commodity code, nominally encompasses non-contact measurement devices, but recent state and local procurement activity under this code shows minimal alignment with the abstract category name. The six opportunities posted since August 2026 span musical equipment and sound systems for schools, atmospheric gas-detection sensors for water and wastewater facilities, laboratory analytical instruments (tandem mass spectrometry and zero-air generators), environmental monitoring systems for laboratory equipment, National Instruments data-acquisition products, and video pipeline inspection systems — a scattering that suggests either inconsistent code assignment across jurisdictions or the code's use as a catch-all for sensor and instrumentation procurements that do not fit more specific device classifications. The issuing bodies are state environmental and agriculture agencies (Illinois EPA, Georgia Department of Agriculture), a major metropolitan water utility (City of Phoenix Water Services), a school district (Clayton County Public Schools in Georgia), a state university system (Texas A&M), and a large city department (City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management). No single jurisdiction appears more than once in the recent block.

Activity is geographically dispersed across Georgia, Illinois, Arizona, and Texas, with no clear concentration. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB 27-0435 for atmospheric monitoring instruments—fixed (sensors for hydrogen sulfide, methane, oxygen depletion, chlorine, ammonia, ozone, chlorine dioxide, and carbon monoxide at water and wastewater facilities), with offers due September 4, 2026, and a pre-offer conference on August 25, 2026; the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency's IFB for a tandem mass spectrometer system for pesticide analysis, bids due September 1, 2026; and the Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division's RFQ for an environmental conditions monitoring system for fifty-eight critical laboratory units, responses due August 21, 2026. Clayton County Public Schools' IFB 002-27 for musical equipment, labs, and sound systems (bids due November 5, 2026) carries a 15 percent Small Local Business Enterprise contracting goal and includes classroom sound equipment, portable systems, piano labs, and music technology stations with installation and training. The code shows active but fragmented use with no dominant buyer profile or service line.
