UNSPSC 44103202: Time stamping machines

UNSPSC 44103202 Time stamping machines is a Commodity code covering the procurement and repair of mechanical and electronic date-time stamp machines and related embossers used across state and local government operations. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers purchasing both new equipment and ongoing maintenance and repair services — the California Department of State Hospitals is soliciting on-site preventative maintenance and repair for multiple stamp machine brands under an IFB due October 28, 2026, while Gwinnett County is acquiring new Widmer time and date stamp machines with custom embossers for court and vital records operations. The code also captures software-enabled time-and-attendance systems when bundled with hardware; the City of Meriden solicited a comprehensive time and attendance software solution with 16 integrated biometric clocks under RFP026-11. Issuing bodies include state hospital and health agencies, county purchasing departments, municipal governments, and courts — all using these machines for workforce time tracking, document certification, and administrative record-keeping in both routine and secure environments.

Recent activity is geographically concentrated in California, Georgia, Connecticut, and Pennsylvania. The California Department of State Hospitals-Patton opportunity (IFB 26-30024-000, due October 28, 2026) is the most granular and time-sensitive, requiring bidders to commit to preventative maintenance and repair labor on an as-needed basis over a three-year term with rates submitted for three fiscal years; the contract includes California's 5% Small Business Preference and DVBE incentive adjustments of 1–5%, and demands LIVE SCAN background checks and tuberculosis screening for all personnel. Gwinnett County's sealed-bid procurement (IWQ 134684, due July 29, 2026) targets new equipment delivery within specified operating hours. The City of Philadelphia's micro purchase (due September 4, 2026) and Meriden's time-and-attendance RFP show that equipment procurements remain active but vary widely in complexity and technical scope; pursue the DSH-Patton repair services opportunity if your firm operates in California and can staff on-site maintenance work in secure healthcare settings with required clearances.
