UNSPSC 32101519: Detectors

UNSPSC 32101519 Detectors (Commodity) covers specialized detection and sensing equipment that state and local governments procure for infrastructure monitoring, facility operations, and utility management. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing inductive loop vehicle detectors for traffic signal control, electrical protective devices for power distribution systems, solenoids and ballasts for water treatment and facility operations, and related sensor and detection components for mission-critical applications.

State transportation departments, water utilities, county facilities management operations, municipal electric utilities, and transit authorities drive activity under this code. The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) posted an IFB for inductive loop detector replacement and restoration across five counties (Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo, Monterey, San Benito, and Santa Cruz) due July 23, 2026; the City of Austin Energy solicited electric protective devices including network protectors, relay stack lights, and current-limiting fuses on an annual requirements basis through an IFB due March 10, 2026; and Gwinnett County, Georgia requested quotes for ballasts and capacitors for Parks and Recreation operations due June 12, 2026. Additional recent opportunities include the City of Tampa seeking a solenoid and installation for a water treatment facility repump station (RFQ, June 19, 2026) and Orange County, Florida procuring electrical and mechanical upgrades including instrumentation, controls, and switchgear components for a water reclamation facility (IFB Y26-604, due April 30, 2026). Geographic activity spans California (Caltrans five-county deployment), Texas (Austin Energy, City of Arlington), Florida (Tampa Water Department, Orange County utilities, Gainesville transit), and Georgia (Gwinnett County Parks). The Caltrans opportunity applies a 25 percent small business participation goal with five percent preference for certified small businesses and a 10 percent DVBE participation requirement plus incentive program, reflecting typical state-level set-aside structure in public works detection and sensor procurement.
