UNSPSC 54111602: Mantel or table clocks

UNSPSC 54111602 Mantel or table clocks is a Commodity code, though the recent state and local activity under it reflects a much broader scope than the code name suggests — state and local governments are actually soliciting technology infrastructure parts, equipment, and labor services to support facilities and operations. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government issued IFB 2000004307 in March 2026 to establish a term contract covering 15 product categories including digital and wall clocks, administrative phones, electric strikes, batteries, smoke detectors, motion sensors, and ceiling speakers, along with associated labor services. The solicitation targets procurement for approximately 183,000 students and 25,000 employees across 250+ schools and work sites. Bidders must provide percentage-discount pricing from Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price or national standard price lists, proof of authorized reseller status for at least three years per manufacturer, three professional references from the past three years, and appropriate certifications. The contract is five years with three optional one-year renewals at firm pricing; delivery must occur within five business days of order, and on-site response times are five business days for routine calls and 48 hours for emergencies. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 commercial general liability and $1,000,000 automobile liability with FCPS named as additional insured.

The Fairfax County procurement represents activity in Northern Virginia serving a large school district and county government. Responses were due April 20, 2026 with a pre-bid conference offered April 7, 2026 via Zoom; written questions closed April 10, 2026. The solicitation permits extension to other Virginia jurisdictions, Maryland entities, and regional authorities at their discretion, signaling potential multi-jurisdiction purchasing reach. No incumbent vendors, award value, or budget range is disclosed. The code shows limited recent state and local activity beyond this single opportunity; practitioners should note the significant mismatch between the nominal code scope (tabletop clocks) and the actual work being bought (large-scale technology infrastructure procurement across dozens of product lines and services).
