UNSPSC 44103202: Time stamping machines

UNSPSC 44103202 Time stamping machines is a Commodity code that, in recent state and local procurement, encompasses cloud-based time and attendance software solutions integrated with biometric and proximity-detection hardware. The City of Meriden, Connecticut, RFP026-11 illustrates the scope: municipalities are procuring integrated systems combining time clocks (typically 16 units per implementation), biometric punch capabilities, field-work time tracking, and workforce management software that feeds payroll data into existing financial systems such as MUNIS. The work extends beyond hardware supply to include system design, deployment, maintenance, and support. Issuing bodies under this code are municipal governments and their departments, particularly those with diverse operational environments including 24/7 services (police, fire) and seasonal workforce fluctuations. The code also captures the vendor relationships required to support these implementations: comprehensive maintenance, telephone support, and defined service response times are baseline procurement expectations.

The City of Meriden RFP026-11, posted April 23, 2026 with a response deadline of September 4, 2025, represents recent activity in Connecticut. The procurement specifies a three-year initial contract term with a three-year extension option, cloud-based deployment within United States borders, 16 time clocks for municipal departments, biometric and proximity-detection capabilities for approximately 200 seasonal and 150 regular employees, and seamless integration with existing financial accounting systems. Prospective vendors must carry $1,000,000 in Commercial General Liability and $2,000,000 in Professional Liability coverage. The city indicated a local preference for Meriden-based businesses and reserves the right to reject any proposals. Implementation was scheduled from November 2025 through January 2026, with full online use expected by February 2026.
