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 GNSS Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) is a Commodity code showing little relevant recent activity. The code nominally describes satellite-based positioning augmentation systems used in precision navigation and surveying; however, the recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code do not align with the code's stated scope. Recent solicitations include an MRO supplies master agreement (City of Tucson), chemical-resistant plumbing parts for water disinfection (Tucson Water), a procurement conference (Clay County, Florida), on-call trade labor (City of Meriden, Connecticut), an aquatic center operations partnership (City of Palm Bay, Florida), enterprise space management consulting (New Mexico General Services Department), and SCADA/water system instrumentation and controls (multiple water utilities). None of these procurements involve GNSS or satellite augmentation systems. The code does not map to water utility instrumentation, facility management consulting, construction trades, or municipal facility operations.

The few opportunities nominally tagged to this code span Arizona, Florida, Connecticut, and New Mexico jurisdictions, primarily through water and wastewater utilities (Tucson Water, City of Palm Bay), municipalities (Tucson, Meriden, Arlington, Palm Bay, Phoenix), a state agency (New Mexico GSD), and a county government (Clay County). Without genuine GNSS-related solicitations in the recent dataset, the code appears misapplied or dormant at the state and local level. Business development professionals should verify whether procurement offices in their target markets actually use this code for positioning, mapping, or survey-grade navigation equipment before pursuing opportunities labeled under 25173110.
