UNSPSC 26111544: Speed controller

Motor control device that takes a signal representing the demanded speed and drives a motor at that speed.

UNSPSC 26111544 Speed controller (Commodity) encompasses electronic devices that regulate vehicle speed, including intelligent speed assistance systems that state and local governments are beginning to procure for regulatory compliance and public safety applications. Recent state-local solicitations reveal a shift toward systems that monitor and limit vehicle speed through electronic control, particularly for driver-licensing enforcement and law enforcement applications. The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration's RFI for Intelligent Speed Assistance systems exemplifies this trend: systems must integrate with state databases and law enforcement infrastructure, include real-time speed monitoring and compliance logging, meet strict cybersecurity and data-handling standards (with data storage or transmission outside the United States prohibited), and be serviceable across multiple physical locations. Law enforcement agencies and motor vehicle administrations represent the primary state and local buyers under this code, driven by mandates such as Maryland's "Stop Super Speeders" law requiring ISA installation for restricted driving privileges.

Maryland and Washington state dominate recent posting activity. The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration posted its RFI for ISA systems on September 16, 2026, with responses due October 6, 2026, accompanied by a request for questions by September 21, 2026, and optional virtual demonstrations scheduled for October 15–16, 2026; respondents must demonstrate proven ISA manufacturing or distribution experience, maintain product liability insurance of at least $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, and support installation and integration across 24 branches. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative purchasing vehicle, posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment on May 12, 2026, with a June 16, 2026 deadline, drawing participation from multiple Washington counties (Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, Yakima) and public entities across the United States and Canada; the resulting cooperative contract would serve thousands of governmental agencies, school districts, and other public entities. Vendors responding to these opportunities should expect detailed technical questionnaires covering system architecture, data security, cybersecurity posture, and integration capabilities with existing government infrastructure.
