UNSPSC 39111627: Wind direction indicator

Airport Windsock (or wind cone, wind direction indicator) is a device which helps pilots to identify the direction and speed of the wind.

UNSPSC 39111627 Wind direction indicator is a Commodity code representing a narrow product category that state and local governments purchase primarily for airfield and aviation safety infrastructure. Recent state and local solicitations show that wind direction indicators are sourced as part of broader airfield equipment and safety procurement, though the code itself appears rarely as a standalone line item. The City of Dallas issued a quotation in June 2026 for heat transfer fluid, wind direction socks, and antifreeze (Solicitation IFSDWUB1800006, bids due June 30, 2026), indicating that wind direction equipment is bundled with other small maintenance supplies and delivered to water and utility divisions rather than aviation facilities. The mix of issuing bodies across recent opportunities spans airport authorities, municipal aviation departments, transit agencies, and county governments, with no single repeat buyer standing out under this specific code. Geographic spread of recent activity includes Florida, Texas, Colorado, New Hampshire, and Kentucky, with Florida showing notable frequency across multiple airport-related procurements at Lee County Port Authority, City of St. Petersburg, and other municipal aviation departments.

Recent solicitations tagged with this code do not consistently reflect wind direction indicator demand in isolation. The Dallas procurement (IFSDWUB1800006) represents the clearest recent match, requesting wind direction socks for delivery to three Water/Material Services Division locations across the Dallas metropolitan area by June 30, 2026, on an FOB basis with freight included. Beyond that single explicit reference, the code shows minimal recent activity in the state and local opportunities block; most aviation-related purchases focus on lighting systems, ground support equipment, facility modernization, and passenger infrastructure rather than standalone directional indicators. The category warrants watching for bundled utility and maintenance procurements but does not present a robust pipeline of standalone opportunities at this time.
