UNSPSC 54111704: Watch straps or bands or bracelets or fobs

UNSPSC 54111704 Watch straps or bands or bracelets or fobs is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure watches and watch accessories, including specialized timepieces with specific functional requirements. The Illinois Department of Corrections' May 2026 IFB for multiple alarm vibrating watches and the Missouri Department of Corrections' January 2026 IFB for electronic canteen items demonstrate that corrections agencies are the primary buyers under this code, soliciting watches tailored to institutional populations—notably vibrating-alarm watches for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals, and standard watches as resale merchandise in offender canteens. Both opportunities specify watch bands and accessories as line items, with the Illinois procurement requiring replacement bands in multiple sizes. State corrections departments appear to be the dominant issuing bodies under this code, with no recent school districts, municipalities, transit authorities, or other local entities represented in available opportunities.

Geographic activity concentrates in Illinois and Missouri based on recent solicitations. The Illinois Department of Corrections posted an IFB on May 5, 2026, with a response deadline of May 21, 2026, for 800 initial vibrating watches and ongoing bi-annual deliveries of 800 units with replacement bands, procured under a three-year contract vehicle and requiring samples submitted to the Springfield purchasing office. The Missouri Department of Corrections issued an IFB due February 24, 2026, for electronic canteen items including watches and watch accessories across nineteen facilities, with an estimated annual volume of $441,538 and contract renewal options. Both solicitations are firm-fixed-price, FOB-Destination arrangements with vendor liability insurance and registration requirements through state electronic bid systems. No incumbent vendor names or contract award values are disclosed in either opportunity.
