UNSPSC 41111921: Speed sensors

UNSPSC 41111921 Speed sensors (Commodity) covers traffic safety equipment that state and local governments procure to detect vehicle speed and enforce traffic laws—most commonly automated speed detection systems for school zones, red-light cameras, and law enforcement radar units. Recent solicitations show municipalities and counties buying complete turnkey systems including cameras, radar or lidar speed-detection sensors, Automated License Plate Reader (ALPR) technology, poles, wiring, software, violation processing, and ongoing maintenance, often structured as revenue-sharing contracts where the vendor absorbs all equipment and operational costs and is compensated from collected fines. The issuing bodies span city traffic and engineering departments, county public safety and transportation offices, state law enforcement procurement offices, and regional transit planning organizations.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary procurement in New York, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Colorado, and Arizona. The City of Orlando issued RFP26-0163 (due September 17, 2026) for a comprehensive Red-Light Camera Traffic Infraction Detector System covering 80 intersections under a five-year contract with optional ten-year cumulative term; the City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement issued IFB-26-0280 (due August 7, 2026) for Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras with HDTV 1080 resolution supporting traffic monitoring; and Orange County, Florida issued a Request for Proposals (updated April 16, 2026, originally posted April 17) for a School Zone Speed Detection Safety Program at up to 120 school locations with an estimated budget of $31,464,000.00 over ten years. The State of Mississippi issued two separate IFBs (posted February 10 and May 21, 2026) for approximately 200 KA-Band radar units each for law enforcement speed detection. Marion County, Florida executed two sole-source procurements (posted July 6, 2026) for Stalker DSR 2X and Stalker 2X motorcycle radar systems from Applied Concepts, Inc. The City of Brunswick, Georgia (posted May 22, 2026) and Gwinnett County, Georgia (posted April 2, 2026) both sought automated school zone speed detection on revenue-sharing models. Procurement activity shows sustained demand for speed-detection infrastructure refresh, particularly in school-zone enforcement where revenue-sharing contracts shift capital and operational risk to vendors.
