UNSPSC 41111970: Temperature sensor

An instrument designed to detect temperature changes.

UNSPSC 41111970 Temperature sensor is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities tagged under it show minimal alignment with the code's nominal scope. Of six recent solicitations, only one—Orange County Sheriff-Coroner's Remote Temperature Monitoring System (RFQ 0602983102MA, due January 27, 2026)—directly involves temperature sensors as a primary deliverable. The Orange County procurement calls for digital sensors capable of monitoring temperatures across 41 locations in an 8-story building with wireless cloud-based connectivity, real-time alerts, and ISO 17025 calibrated sensors. The remaining five solicitations (Atlanta Department of Watershed Management's color video pipeline and sewer cleaning equipment; Klein ISD's Career Technical Education and Advanced Academics resources; Texas A&M System's bore scanner and lock-in amplifier; and Illinois EPA's ICP-MS spectrometer system) are unrelated to temperature sensing and appear to have been tagged to this code in error. The code shows no clear pattern of state and local procurement activity around temperature sensors themselves.

Geographic activity is scattered across California, Texas, Illinois, and Georgia based on the single relevant opportunity and the broader misaligned set. The Orange County, California procurement offers 5–8 percent preference deductions for local small businesses and disabled veteran business enterprises. The code does not support a characterization of active issuing bodies, repeat buyers, or concentrated geographic demand in temperature sensor procurement—the sourcing pattern suggests either sparse genuine activity under this Commodity code or systematic misclassification of unrelated equipment and service procurements. A business development professional should verify the actual UNSPSC classification in Orange County's detailed solicitation documents before investing pursuit effort.
