UNSPSC 25111924: Radar reflectors

UNSPSC 25111924 Radar reflectors, a Commodity code, encompasses the procurement, installation, and support of specialized weather radar systems and associated infrastructure that state and local governments deploy for environmental monitoring and emergency-response applications. The scope extends beyond passive radar reflectors to active dual-polarization weather radar units, transmission equipment, mounting structures, shelters, power systems, and comprehensive five-year maintenance and cybersecurity support. Issuing bodies under this code include state universities and research institutions acting as procurement agents for state environmental and emergency-management initiatives, as well as the state legislatures and executive branches they serve.

Texas Tech University's Office of Procurement Services posted RFP 2026-1183 on March 6, 2026, for the Texas Flood Project Weather Radar Deployment, a three-unit C-band dual-polarization system with towers, shelters, HVAC, power supplies, and electrical/networking infrastructure to be installed near Brownwood, Fredericksburg, and Senora or Eldorado, Texas.

Proposers must acknowledge Addenda 1, 2, and 3, provide three meteorological references, and comply with a mandatory HUB subcontracting plan under Texas Government Code 2161.252.
