UNSPSC 41112301: Hygrometers

UNSPSC 41112301 Hygrometers (Commodity) shows minimal recent alignment with the code's nominal scope. The recent state and local opportunities tagged under this code focus on weather observation systems, lightning detection and protection infrastructure, and weather radar deployment rather than moisture-measurement instruments. The Georgia Department of Transportation is soliciting Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) commodities through an eRFQ, Broward County and Fort Lauderdale are evaluating lightning prediction and detection systems via RFI, and Brevard County is seeking lightning protection system installation contractors through sealed bid. Texas Tech University's flood-mitigation project involves C-band dual-polarization weather radars with five-year maintenance contracts. These procurements reflect state and local demand for operational weather monitoring and hazard mitigation at transportation facilities, airports, and critical infrastructure, but the category mismatch suggests the code may not be capturing humidity or hygrometer-specific buying patterns accurately in state and local procurement systems.

Solicitation activity appears across Florida (Broward County and Fort Lauderdale, Brevard County), Georgia (GDOT), and Texas (Tech University and state-authorized flood project). Broward County and Fort Lauderdale posted their RFI for Thor Guard, Inc. TG-360 Lightning Prediction and Detection System on May 6, 2026, with a May 18 response deadline to contest sole-source designation. GDOT's eRFQ for AWOS equipment closed May 4, 2026. Brevard County's sealed-bid deadline for courthouse lightning protection passed January 27, 2026. The Texas flood project RFP (2026-1183) required proposals by March 6, 2026, and mandates HUB subcontracting under Texas Government Code, with award anticipated July 2026. No current opportunities remain open, and the category's actual procurement activity does not substantially align with hygrometer commodity scope.
