UNSPSC 41112905: Infrared beacon

A mark that is designed for navigation aid by using the infrared ray.

UNSPSC 41112905 Infrared beacon is a Commodity code that encompasses traffic signal and roadway lighting components used to modernize intersection infrastructure, enhance traffic flow coordination, and support pedestrian safety initiatives. State and local governments procure infrared beacons and related detection systems as part of broader traffic signal modernization projects, often bundled with control cabinets, communication equipment, and intelligent transportation system infrastructure. The code sees active solicitation from city public works departments, county transportation authorities, and special-purpose airport authorities undertaking federal or state-funded traffic safety and signal synchronization programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida, where traffic signal modernization efforts funded through Surface Transportation Block Grant–Metropolitan Mobility programs and Carbon Reduction Program grants dominate procurement volume. The City of Brownsville, Texas has issued multiple sealed-bid solicitations for traffic signal improvements along 12th Street and International Boulevard (IFB 14526EPWIFB and IFB 14626EPWIFB, both due May 26, 2026), including infrared and radar-based detection systems as part of broader intelligent transportation system deployments. The City of Brownsville's Carbon Reduction Program Off-System Light Synchronization Project (IFB 17426EPWIFB, due May 21, 2026) explicitly specifies radar-based vehicular traffic detection systems at 33 signalized intersections. The City of Charlotte issued an RFP for Safe Streets for All Phase 1 infrastructure improvements (due September 29, 2026) incorporating rectangular rapid flashing pedestrian beacons alongside signal upgrades. Pasco County, Florida has solicited bids for four-pole box-span traffic signal installations with pedestrian signals and lighting at multiple intersections (IFBKM27010, due October 27, 2026; IFBKM26086, due June 16, 2026). The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey issued a requirements contract for aeronautical edge lighting equipment and spare parts (BID6000003331, due May 26, 2026), representing airport-specific infrastructure procurement under this code.
