UNSPSC 41111961: Occupant sensor

UNSPSC 41111961 Occupant sensor (Commodity) shows minimal recent state and local procurement activity aligned with the code's nominal scope. Of six recent opportunities tagged to this code, none involve occupant sensors or building-automation sensing equipment; instead, the tagged solicitations cover musical equipment and sound systems, atmospheric monitoring instruments for wastewater facilities, mass spectrometers for pesticide analysis, laboratory environmental monitoring systems, National Instruments test equipment, and pipeline inspection systems. The mismatch suggests either systematic tagging inconsistency in the state and local procurement systems that apply the code or a divergence between the code's abstract definition and actual procurement labeling practice in the jurisdictions posting these opportunities.

State and local governments posting under this code draw from school districts (Clayton County Public Schools, Georgia), municipalities (City of Phoenix, City of Atlanta), state environmental agencies (Illinois Environmental Protection Agency, Georgia Department of Agriculture), and university systems (Texas A&M University System). The geographic spread includes Georgia, Arizona, Illinois, and Texas. Representative recent activity spans Clayton County Public Schools' IFB 002-27 for musical equipment (response due November 5, 2026), the City of Phoenix Water Services Department's IFB-27-0435 for atmospheric monitoring instruments (response due September 4, 2026), the Illinois EPA's IFB for a tandem mass spectrometer system (response due September 1, 2026), and the Georgia Department of Agriculture's RFQ for an environmental conditions monitoring system (response due August 21, 2026). None of these solicitations involve occupant sensors in the conventional sense—presence detection or building-occupancy automation. A firm considering this code should verify the actual commodity assignment with individual procurement offices before committing bid resources.
