UNSPSC 54111702: Watch or clock crystals

UNSPSC 54111702 Watch or clock crystals (Commodity) captures state and local procurement of timekeeping components and related watch products, though recent solicitations show divergence from the abstract code name toward broader horological goods and repair services. The City of Philadelphia's tower clock maintenance and repair RFQ and the Illinois Department of Corrections' multi-alarm vibrating watch IFB demonstrate that state and local buyers use this code for both specialized timepiece servicing and functional watch procurement tied to operational or accessibility requirements. Issuing bodies include municipal government (Philadelphia) and state correctional agencies (Illinois), reflecting both facility-maintenance and inmate-services applications. The scope spans preventive and corrective maintenance on institutional timepieces, replacement components or finished watches for custody or other public-sector use, and specialized watch features such as vibrating alarms for deaf and hard-of-hearing populations.

The geographic spread is limited in the recent-opportunities block to Illinois and Pennsylvania. The City of Philadelphia posted its tower clock maintenance RFQ on September 22, 2026, due October 6, 2026, as a micro purchase structured as a 365-day requirements contract with a pricing cap of $45,000 adjusted annually by CPI-U; the City reserves award by line item and requires bidders to quote all items to be eligible. The Illinois Department of Corrections posted its vibrating watch IFB on May 5, 2026, due May 21, 2026, calling for an estimated 800 watches in the initial shipment within 60 days of award, followed by bi-annual deliveries of 800 watches, with product samples required before or at bid opening and F.O.B. Destination delivery to Springfield. Neither opportunity carries a small business, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned set-aside, though Illinois permits state and domestic product preference claims.
