UNSPSC 54111700: Watch or clock parts or accessories

UNSPSC 54111700 Watch or clock parts or accessories is a Class code covering timepieces and related components that state and local governments procure primarily for correctional facilities. State and local buyers use this code to source watches, alarm clocks, watch bands, and watch accessories for inmate canteen resale programs and for specialized populations in custody with accessibility needs. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code are state departments of corrections, which represent the dominant buyer type. Work solicited ranges from commodity watches for institutional canteen operations to specialized timepieces with accessibility features such as vibrating alarms designed to serve deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals in custody.

Recent activity concentrates in the Midwest, with the Illinois Department of Corrections posting an IFB in May 2026 for a three-year contract to procure 800 multiple alarm vibrating watches on the initial shipment, followed by bi-annual deliveries of 800 units, with response deadline May 21, 2026; and the Missouri Department of Corrections posting an IFB in January 2026 for electronic items including watches and watch accessories as part of a blanket purchase agreement for offender canteen resale across nineteen facilities, with estimated annual volume of $441,538 and response deadline February 24, 2026. Both procurements are low-bid competitive solicitations with no set-aside restrictions, though Missouri's contract includes evaluation preference points for Buy American compliance and service-disabled veteran business enterprises. Neither solicitation discloses a specific dollar range or guaranteed award value.
