UNSPSC 25173110: GNSS Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS)

The Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is an air navigation aid developed by the Federal Aviation Administration to augment the Global Positioning System (GPS), with the goal of improving its accuracy, integrity, and availability.

UNSPSC 25173110 Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is a Commodity code. The recent state and local contract opportunities posted under this code do not reflect procurement activity aligned with GNSS/WAAS satellite positioning or augmentation systems. Instead, the opportunities tagged with this code span unrelated categories: wastewater inventory components (City of Tampa, ITB), concert hall lighting retrofit (City of Wichita, ITB), microbial source tracking laboratory services (City of Santa Monica, ITB), water system SCADA system upgrades (City of Gallup, RFP), water quality laboratory testing (City of Meriden, ITB), vocational education equipment (ESBD Texas, competitive bid), vendor networking events, and proficiency testing samples. None of these solicitations involve GNSS positioning, satellite augmentation systems, or precision navigation infrastructure—the core scope of the WAAS code.

The code shows little relevant recent activity. The posting history reflects administrative notices, educational forums, and miscellaneous laboratory and utility procurements that appear misclassified under this UNSPSC designation. State and local procurement offices issuing under this code span city departments (Tampa, Wichita, Santa Monica, Meriden, Gallup), counties (Pinellas, Sacramento, Riverside, Hillsborough), transit authorities (DART), universities (University of Wisconsin-Madison), and special districts (educational consortia). Without genuine GNSS/WAAS procurement signals in the recent opportunities block, the code does not support a business development pursue or watch recommendation at this time. Vendors with satellite positioning or navigation augmentation solutions should verify whether their offerings align with the abstract code definition or request reclassification from issuing procurement offices before responding to future opportunities tagged under 25173110.
