UNSPSC 54111603: Free standing clocks

UNSPSC 54111603 Free standing clocks is a Commodity code covering wall-mounted and standalone timekeeping devices procured by state and local governments as part of larger technology and facilities infrastructure contracts. In practice, free standing clocks are rarely solicited as standalone items; instead, they appear as line items within broad technology parts and equipment procurement vehicles that bundle clocks with access control systems, emergency notification equipment, security devices, and associated labor. Issuing bodies under this code include school districts and county governments procuring clocks to support administrative, classroom, security, and operational needs across multiple facilities and departments. Fairfax County Public Schools and Fairfax County Government represent the primary recent buyer, consolidating clock procurement (along with phones, electrical equipment, and labor services) into a single term-contract vehicle with firm pricing held across a five-year base period plus three optional one-year renewal periods.

Fairfax County Public Schools issued IFB 2000004307 on March 30, 2026, with a response deadline of April 20, 2026, to establish a percentage-discount term contract for Technology Parts, Equipment & Labor supporting approximately 183,000 students and 25,000 employees across 250+ schools and work sites. The procurement explicitly includes digital and wall clocks alongside 14 other product categories (administrative phones, electric strikes, batteries, smoke detectors, motion sensors, and ceiling speakers); bidders must supply pricing as percentage discounts from Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price or national standard price lists, proof of authorized reseller status for a minimum of three years per manufacturer, and professional references from projects completed within the last three years. The contract requires standard delivery within five business days, on-site response within five business days for routine calls and 48 hours for emergencies, and minimum one-year warranties. No specific award value is disclosed. The optional pre-bid conference was scheduled for April 7, 2026, with written questions due April 10, 2026.
