UNSPSC 41111916: Non contact sensors

UNSPSC 41111916 Non contact sensors (Commodity) covers equipment and systems that detect or measure physical conditions without direct contact, as currently sought by state and local governments for infrastructure monitoring, laboratory analysis, and educational instruction. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers using this code to procure video inspection systems for wastewater infrastructure, analytical instrumentation for environmental testing, specialized laboratory sensors, and equipment for career and technical education programs. The issuing bodies span city departments (Atlanta Department of Watershed Management), state environmental agencies (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency), university systems (Texas A&M University System), and school districts (Klein Independent School District in Texas). Scope varies widely across recent opportunities: video pipeline inspection systems with live-color output and real-time diagnostics for sewer line condition assessment; inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometers (ICP-MS) for metals analysis in environmental samples; bore scanners and lock-in amplifiers for research and laboratory applications; and instructional equipment supporting advanced academics and career technical education across 17 program areas including manufacturing, robotics, welding, and information technology.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois, with a secondary presence in Georgia. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management posted IFB GS/DWM/2604-1260190 on June 8, 2026 (bids due June 23, 2026) for color video pipeline and sewer cleaning equipment, requiring new production-model systems, 24-hour parts availability, one-year warranty, and four hours of operator training. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued IFB 26-532EPA-LAB53-B-50817 on January 23, 2026 (bids due February 17, 2026) for a complete ICP-MS system meeting USEPA methods 200.8 and 6020, with ISO certification, manufacturer support, seven-year service guarantee, and response times under five business days mandated. Texas A&M University System posted two ITBs in early 2026 (bore scanner and lock-in amplifier, both with same-day close dates in March and February respectively) through AggieBid. Klein ISD issued RFP 26-101 on April 17, 2026 (proposals due June 5, 2026) for CTE and Advanced Academics resources across multiple categories, with contract start September 1, 2026. None of the recent solicitations identifies an incumbent vendor or award value in posted summaries.
