UNSPSC 41112302: Psychrometers

UNSPSC 41112302 Psychrometers is a Commodity code that captures weather-measurement and lightning-detection equipment being procured by state and local governments, though the recent opportunities under this code are substantially misaligned with the nominal scope. State and local buying under this code centers on lightning prediction and detection systems, automated weather observation systems (AWOS), weather radar deployment, and lightning protection infrastructure rather than psychrometric instruments. The issuing bodies include county governments (Broward County, Brevard County), state departments of transportation (Georgia Department of Transportation), and university procurement offices acting on behalf of state legislatures (Texas Tech University). These are primarily infrastructure-protection and public-safety procurements rather than laboratory or monitoring instrumentation.

Recent opportunities show activity in Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Broward County issued a Request for Information on May 6, 2026 (due May 18, 2026) regarding the Thor Guard, Inc. TG-360 Lightning Prediction and Detection System for integration at County Parks and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport as a Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source. The Georgia Department of Transportation posted an electronic Request for Quotes on April 8, 2026 (due May 4, 2026) to establish a contract for Automated Weather Observing System commodities. Texas Tech University issued RFP 2026-1183 on March 6, 2026 for procurement, installation, commissioning, and five-year maintenance of three C-band dual-polarization weather radars with supporting infrastructure across three Texas sites, with a mandatory HUB subcontracting plan and evaluation occurring March–June 2026. Brevard County solicited sealed bids (due January 27, 2026) for lightning protection system installations at the Melbourne Courthouse and Historic Titusville Courthouse, requiring UL or Lightning Protection Institute certification and compliance with NFPA 780 and UL96A standards.
