UNSPSC 41115304: Frequency counters or timer or dividers

UNSPSC 41115304 Frequency counters or timer or dividers is a Commodity code that bears little relevance to the recent state and local procurement activity tagged under it. The posted opportunities involve emergency responder radio frequency coverage systems, Motorola radio equipment, law enforcement communications hardware, operational intercom systems, bus radios, security electronics, cellular routers, ERCES inspections, RF shielded chambers, and mercury float switches — none of which are frequency counters, timers, or dividers in any conventional sense. The code appears to be a misapplication by issuing agencies rather than an accurate reflection of what is actually being procured.

The issuing bodies span city procurement offices (Phoenix Finance Central Procurement), county sheriffs and water authorities (Santa Clara County Sheriff, Orange County Sheriff-Coroner, Hillsborough County Water Resources), state entities (Florida, Minnesota Sourcewell cooperative), school districts (Polk County Schools, Rockwood School District), and higher education institutions (Texas A&M University System, University of Wisconsin-Madison). The most active recent bidders appear in the City of Phoenix, which issued two successive in-building RF coverage IFBs (IFB-26-0148 in April and IFB-26-0355 in June, both due July 2026 and August 2026 respectively). Geographic concentration is light, with activity across Florida, Arizona, Missouri, California, Minnesota, Texas, and Wisconsin. No secondary geographic cluster is evident. The mismatch between code definition and actual procurement scope makes this code unsuitable for targeted business development — vendors should verify code accuracy directly with issuing bodies before investing in pursuit strategy.
