UNSPSC 44103201: Time card machines

UNSPSC 44103201 Time card machines is a Commodity code covering time and attendance hardware and software systems that state and local governments deploy to track employee work hours, shifts, and payroll integration across municipal departments. The City of Meriden, Connecticut, exemplifies the scope of work being solicited: cloud-based time and attendance software with integrated biometric capabilities, physical time clocks deployed across multiple departments, and deep integration with existing financial accounting systems—in Meriden's case, the MUNIS platform. Recent activity under this code includes RFPs for comprehensive workforce management solutions that bundle hardware, software licensing, maintenance, and support rather than time clocks in isolation. Issuing bodies soliciting under the code include municipal governments managing multi-department timekeeping needs for mixed staffing models (seasonal workers, regular employees, 24/7 operational units).

The City of Meriden, Connecticut, issued RFP026-11 on August 14, 2025, with proposals due September 4, 2025 and anticipated award October 10, 2025, seeking a time and attendance software solution for seven departments serving approximately 200 seasonal and 150 regular employees across 16 time clock locations. The Meriden opportunity required cloud-hosted infrastructure within the United States, biometric and proximity-detection capabilities accessible via telephone and computer, four-hour service response times, $1,000,000 Commercial General Liability and $2,000,000 Professional Liability insurance, and a three-year initial contract with optional three-year renewal. The procurement reflected local preference for Meriden-based vendors and required prospective bidders to be current on city property taxes. Limited recent-opportunity visibility in the source restricts characterization of geographic spread and issuing-body concentration across states.
