UNSPSC 54111700: Watch or clock parts or accessories

UNSPSC 54111700 Watch or clock parts or accessories is a Class code encompassing maintenance, repair, and supply of specialized timepieces and clock systems for state and local government operations. State and local buyers under this code procure both stationary institutional clock systems requiring ongoing maintenance and specialized personal timepieces serving accessibility or operational needs. The City of Philadelphia solicits tower clock maintenance and repair services, while the Illinois Department of Corrections procures vibrating alarm watches for individuals with hearing impairments in custody. Issuing bodies include city departments managing public buildings and state correctional agencies addressing accessibility mandates. Work ranges from contract maintenance and repair of installed clock infrastructure to bulk procurement of specialized watches meeting precise functional and sizing specifications.

Recent activity centers on Illinois and Pennsylvania. The Illinois Department of Corrections issued an IFB in May 2026 (due May 21) for a three-year contract to supply 800 multiple alarm vibrating watches in the initial shipment and bi-annual deliveries of 800 units thereafter, with watches requiring a minimum of five vibrating alarms, waterproof rating to at least 25 feet, and adjustable wrist sizing from 4.7 to 11 inches; the contract stems from the Holmes Settlement mandate requiring vibrating watch provision to eligible incarcerated individuals. The City of Philadelphia issued a requirements contract quote solicitation (due October 6, 2026) for tower clock maintenance and repair at City Hall with a pricing cap of $45,000 annually adjusted by CPI-U, structured as a micro purchase with no minimum purchase obligation and award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Both opportunities reflect operational and compliance-driven procurement rather than competitive commodity supply.
