UNSPSC 41111960: Ultrasonic sensor

UNSPSC 41111960 Ultrasonic sensor is a Commodity code that, based on recent state and local solicitations, encompasses environmental and laboratory monitoring instruments including gas detection sensors, atmospheric monitoring equipment, and environmental condition tracking systems for water, wastewater, and laboratory facilities. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under this code span school districts, municipal utilities, environmental protection agencies, and university systems. Clayton County Public Schools in Georgia is procuring classroom sound equipment and music technology lab stations; the City of Phoenix Water Services Department is sourcing atmospheric monitoring instruments to detect hazardous gases at water and wastewater facilities; the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency is acquiring ozone transfer standards and monitoring equipment; and the Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division is replacing environmental monitoring systems across laboratory facilities.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Illinois, and Arizona. The City of Phoenix Water Services Department posted IFB 27-0435 for atmospheric monitoring instruments—fixed installations on August 14, 2026, with responses due September 4, 2026, requiring sensors and controllers to detect hydrogen sulfide, methane, oxygen depletion, chlorine, ammonia, ozone, chlorine dioxide, and carbon monoxide at lift stations, headworks buildings, and confined spaces, with a five-year contract term and mandatory 48-hour replacement parts availability. The Georgia Department of Agriculture Laboratory Division issued RFQ 40200ERFQ0018662027 on August 7, 2026, with responses due August 21, 2026, for an environmental conditions monitoring system to track temperature and humidity across fifty-eight critical units—refrigerators, freezers, ultra-low freezers, incubators, and laboratory rooms—at facilities in Tifton and Atlanta. Clayton County Public Schools posted IFB 002-27 on October 1, 2026, with bids due November 5, 2026, requesting musical equipment, labs, and sound systems, though this opportunity appears tangential to the sensor code's core scope. The Illinois Environmental Protection Agency has issued multiple solicitations for specialized laboratory and air-quality monitoring equipment under the same commodity classification, indicating state environmental agency procurement concentration in this code.
