UNSPSC 41111960: Ultrasonic sensor

UNSPSC 41111960 Ultrasonic sensor is a Commodity code that encompasses scientific and industrial sensors and measurement equipment, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code reflect a mismatch with the nominal product scope — the opportunities posted involve pipeline inspection systems, laboratory analytical instruments, and specialized research equipment rather than standalone ultrasonic sensors. State and local governments purchasing under this classification span municipal departments, independent school districts, university systems, and state environmental agencies. The City of Atlanta Department of Watershed Management, Klein Independent School District in Texas, Texas A&M University System, and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency represent the recent issuing bodies.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Illinois. The City of Atlanta issued IFB GS/DWM/2604-1260190 for color video pipeline and sewer cleaning equipment (due June 23, 2026), Klein ISD posted RFP 26-101 for Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics instructional resources and equipment (due June 5, 2026), Texas A&M University System issued ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0534 for a bore scanner (due March 25, 2026) and ITB TAMUS-ITB-26-0533 for a lock-in amplifier (due February 26, 2026), and the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency issued IFB 26-532EPA-LAB53-B-50817 for an Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer system with metals-analysis capability under USEPA methods 200.8 and 6020 (due February 17, 2026). The IEPA solicitation specified ISO certification, manufacturer-backed support, seven-year service and application support guarantees, and a $1,000,000 per occurrence general commercial liability insurance requirement. The code shows sporadic recent activity with limited relevance to ultrasonic sensors specifically; procurement professionals should verify code assignment against actual opportunity scope before pursuing.
