UNSPSC 41114413: Ceilometer

A meter that is designed to measure and record the height of the cloud floor. There are optical method and electric wave method, and it is consisted of three parts; light, electric wave launcher and, receiver and recorder. The part combined with the receiver and recorder is referred to as the detector.

UNSPSC 41114413 Ceilometer, a Commodity code, is tagged in state and local solicitations but does not align with the work actually being procured under this code in recent opportunities. Recent postings tagged to the code instead solicit lightning detection, lightning protection systems installation, severe weather monitoring hardware and software, and temperature sensors—none of which are ceilometers. The mismatch suggests either misclassification of these opportunities in the state and local procurement databases or a disconnect between the code's formal definition and its operational use in published notices.

The four recent opportunities span multiple issuing bodies and geographies. Texas Military Department issued IFB TMD26FMO0044558 (closed September 26, 2026) for lightning protection system installation at Camp Swift in Bastrop covering eight sites. Hillsborough County posted a sole-source procurement (SS2600405, closed September 11, 2026) for Earth Networks hardware, software, and maintenance of a lightning detection and severe weather monitoring system valued at $47,627.54 over two years. Texas Water Development Board released IFB 58025IFB5519 (closed August 25, 2026) for temperature sensors, pyranometers, and related instruments with delivery to Austin. Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale jointly issued RFI BLD2131961F1 (closed May 18, 2026) to test sole-source justification for a Thor Guard, Inc. TG-360 lightning prediction and detection system at County Parks and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. No additional recent opportunities under the code are present in the source, and the material mismatch between code definition and actual solicitation scope suggests limited relevant activity to pursue under this specific code number.
