UNSPSC 41114414: Meteorological satellite receiving equipment

A system that outputs the meteorological chart through monitor and printer for the editing function through the computer by automatically receiving the photo taken by the artificial satellite that is sent to observe the meteorological condition on earth. It is structured with the receiving equipment for meteorological satellite image and the data processing device.

UNSPSC 41114414 Meteorological satellite receiving equipment is a Commodity code that in practice covers lightning detection, prediction, and severe weather monitoring systems and their associated hardware, software, maintenance, and installation — a divergence from the code's nominal scope of satellite receiving equipment. State and local governments are procuring integrated lightning detection platforms, including proprietary hardware such as Sferic Weather Stations and Area Alerting Units, firmware and licensing, preventative and corrective maintenance, field installation and verification, and related alerting services. Issuing bodies span county governments (Hillsborough County, Broward County), state agencies (Texas Military Department, Texas Water Development Board), and municipalities (City of Fort Lauderdale), with no clear repeat buyer pattern in the recent pipeline.

Recent activity clusters in Texas and Florida. The Texas Military Department issued IFB TMD26FMO0044558 in September 2026 for lightning protection system installation at Camp Swift, with bids due September 26, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid site visit on September 16, 2026; Hillsborough County posted a sole-source procurement (SS2600405) for Earth Networks hardware, software, and maintenance of its lightning detection and severe weather monitoring system, with a challenge deadline of September 11, 2026 and an estimated contract value of $47,627.54 over two years; the Texas Water Development Board issued IFB ESBD_548214 in August 2026 for temperature sensors and related monitoring instruments, with bids due August 25, 2026; and Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale issued an RFI (BLD2131961F1) in May 2026 regarding a Thor Guard, Inc. lightning prediction and detection system for parks and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, with responses due May 18, 2026. The code shows modest recent activity with a mix of new installations, system upgrades, and maintenance renewals.
