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 whose recent state and local procurement activity centers on ground-based weather detection and lightning prediction systems rather than satellite receiving infrastructure — the literal scope of the code name does not align with what jurisdictions are actually buying under this classification. State and local weather infrastructure procurement involves lightning detection systems, automated weather observation equipment for transportation operations, and weather radar deployment for flood forecasting and emergency response. Issuing bodies include county governments and state transportation departments procuring detection and observation equipment for operational safety and disaster preparedness, plus higher-education research institutions managing weather-monitoring networks on behalf of state legislatures. The mix spans traditional municipal procurement offices (county purchasing departments managing courthouse and airport infrastructure) alongside specialized state agencies and university procurement functions operating under statutory purchasing authority.

Recent activity clusters in Florida and Georgia with a significant research-driven procurement in Texas. Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale issued a Request for Information in May 2026 regarding the Thor Guard, Inc. TG-360 Lightning Prediction and Detection System for integration at County Parks and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, structured as a Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source with a due date of May 18, 2026. The Georgia Department of Transportation conducted an eRFQ for Automated Weather Observing System commodities posted April 8, 2026, with responses due May 4, 2026. Texas Tech University's Office of Procurement Services issued RFP 2026-1183 for the Texas Flood Project Weather Radar Deployment on March 6, 2026, requiring procurement, installation, and five-year maintenance of three C-band dual-polarization weather radars with mandatory HUB subcontracting and NIST 800-53 cybersecurity controls. Brevard County solicited sealed bids for lightning protection system installations at two courthouse locations under eRFQ B22609, with a due date of January 27, 2026.
