UNSPSC 41113690: Frequency and time measuring equipment

For measurements of frequency, time interval, phase, event counting, and many other related signal parameters

UNSPSC 41113690 Frequency and time measuring equipment, a Commodity code, appears in state and local procurement activity predominantly through airport operations and specialized infrastructure projects, though recent solicitations show limited direct alignment with the code's nominal scope. The code encompasses timing devices, chronometers, frequency counters, and related precision instruments used to measure temporal intervals and oscillation rates—equipment typically deployed in laboratory, manufacturing, and technical diagnostic settings. State and local governments soliciting under this code purchase frequency measurement devices for specialized applications in aviation maintenance, airport infrastructure systems, and fleet management diagnostics.

Recent opportunities posted under this code reveal substantial mismatch: the Commonwealth of Kentucky Transportation Cabinet issued multiple Invitation for Bid notices in June and July 2026 for helicopter tugs (ground support equipment with no frequency or timing measurement component), while Ocean County, New Jersey sought quotations for drone light display services in July 2026, and the Savannah Airport Commission issued an RFQ in January 2026 for a terminal ramp sweeper. None of these solicitations involve frequency measurement, timing calibration, or precision instrumentation. A single administrative notice from Williamson County, Texas announcing a departmental relocation contained no procurement scope. The code shows minimal recent activity in state and local procurement markets aligned with its actual commodity definition, suggesting either systematic miscoding of airport and ground-support equipment acquisitions or very low authentic demand for frequency and time measuring equipment within state and local jurisdictions during the recent solicitation window.
