UNSPSC 41112906: Radio beacon

A device that launches the electric wave necessary for measuring the directions for ship or aircraft in navigation and any aircraft or ship may receive the electric wave to measure the direction on the point.

UNSPSC 41112906 Radio beacon (Commodity) shows minimal recent activity bearing relevance to the code's stated scope. The ten recent opportunities tagged to this code span traffic signal infrastructure, roadway lighting, airport signage, transit station signage, outboard motors, and construction services—none of which map to radio beacon procurement. State and local governments classify traffic signal controllers, detection systems, LED lighting, and intelligent transportation system components under separate UNSPSC families; the mismatch suggests tagging error rather than active demand for radio beacon equipment itself under this code.

The issuing bodies span a mix of city departments (Brownsville, College Station, Fort Worth, Tallahassee), county transportation and airport authorities (Pasco County, Lee County, Collier County, Cameron County, Chatham County), school districts (Parkway), and regional transit authorities (Sarasota County Breeze, Port Authority of New York and New Jersey), with heavy concentration in Texas municipalities and Florida counties. The geographic spread reflects Texas (Brownsville, Fort Worth, College Station), Florida (Pasco, Lee, Collier, Tallahassee, Sarasota), and limited presence in New York/New Jersey and Georgia. Representative recent work includes the City of Brownsville's multiple traffic signal modernization projects (IFB 145-26-EPW-IFB for 12th Street Signal Improvements, due May 26, 2026; IFB 144-26-EPW for traffic signal communications equipment, due May 28, 2026) and the City of Tallahassee's Capital Circle SW/Lake Bradford Road Signal Installation (IFB-055-26-RR, due May 12, 2026), all involving mast arms, controllers, detection systems, and communications gear rather than radio beacons. This code warrants close review for potential tagging misalignment within procurement systems; the substantive activity lies elsewhere in the UNSPSC hierarchy.
