UNSPSC 41111940: Color sensors

UNSPSC 41111940 Color sensors (Commodity) is a narrowly focused equipment category where state and local government procurement activity shows minimal recent relevance. Of the six recent opportunities tagged under this code, only one—the Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division's RFQ for an environmental conditions monitoring system posted August 7, 2026 with responses due August 21, 2026—involves sensors as a core component. That solicitation seeks temperature and humidity monitoring sensors to replace aging equipment across 58 critical laboratory units (refrigerators, freezers, ultra-low freezers, incubators, drying ovens, and laboratory rooms) at facilities in Tifton and Atlanta. The remaining five opportunities, while posted under this UNSPSC code, involve musical equipment and sound systems (Clayton County Public Schools), atmospheric gas-detection instruments (City of Phoenix Water Services), a tandem mass spectrometer (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency), ozone calibration standards (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency), and National Instruments equipment (Texas A&M University System)—none of which are color sensors. The issuing bodies span state environmental and agricultural agencies, school districts, and municipal water utilities; however, only the Georgia Department of Agriculture procurement directly targets sensor procurement.

Geographic activity clusters in Georgia and Illinois based on recent postings, with ancillary municipal purchasing from Phoenix and Atlanta. The Georgia Department of Agriculture RFQ is the sole recent opportunity with clear sensor relevance; suppliers must provide catalog pages and manufacturer specifications demonstrating signal compatibility with cement block and different building materials, with preliminary results publicly announced followed by formal award. The mismatch between the UNSPSC code's nominal scope and most of the opportunities tagged under it suggests that color sensor procurement at the state and local level is either infrequent or typically embedded within larger equipment or system procurements rather than solicited as a discrete line item. Firms targeting sensor sales to state and local buyers should monitor Georgia and Illinois environmental and agricultural agency postings but should not rely on this code's recent activity as a leading indicator of consistent demand.
