UNSPSC 52161507: Clock radios

UNSPSC 52161507 Clock radios is a Commodity-tier code that shows minimal alignment between its nominal scope and actual state and local procurement activity. Recent solicitations tagged under this code predominantly address emergency responder radio coverage systems, land mobile radio repeaters, amateur radio equipment, and ruggedized cellular routers—none of which are clock radios. The one opportunity explicitly named for a consumer electronics canteen resale program (Missouri Department of Corrections) includes alarm clocks among dozens of items but does not focus on the product category. State and local issuing bodies spanning city procurement departments, county emergency management offices, school districts, and state emergency management agencies appear in the recent record, but their work falls almost entirely outside clock-radio procurement.

Recent opportunities include the City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement's IFB 260355 (In-Building Radio Frequency Coverage Revision, due July 10, 2026) for emergency responder radio coverage system design, installation, and optimization; the Illinois Emergency Management Agency's procurement for land mobile radio repeaters (IFB 26588IEMAMGMTAB51739, due March 30, 2026); the Cuyahoga County and City of Cleveland Emergency Operations Center's amateur radio equipment procurement (IFB 6961, due April 22, 2026); and the State of Florida's RFI for ruggedized cellular routers (OPN2131819F1, due March 26, 2026). Activity concentrates in Arizona, Illinois, Florida, Ohio, and Texas, with supporting procurement through Sourcewell cooperative purchasing on behalf of multiple Washington, Minnesota, and regional participating entities. The code shows no substantive recent activity in clock-radio procurement. Firms pursuing opportunities under this code should verify the actual commodity scope in each RFP or IFB, as the UNSPSC classification does not reflect current buying patterns.
