UNSPSC 41114419: Low level wind shear alert system

A type of device that warns in real time if the meteorological data detected by the turbulence arising from the layer near to the earth surface --planetary boundary layer-- exceeds the range of set value.

UNSPSC 41114419 Low level wind shear alert system is a Commodity code that encompasses lightning detection, prediction, and weather observation systems deployed at transportation infrastructure, airports, and public facilities — though recent opportunities show state and local procurement under this code actually spanning automated weather observation systems, lightning prediction and detection technology, weather radar deployment, and lightning protection installations rather than wind shear detection alone. Issuing bodies include county purchasing offices, state transportation departments, university procurement offices, and special-purpose district authorities. Brevard County, Broward County, the Georgia Department of Transportation, and Texas Tech University appear in the recent record; procurement vehicles include RFI (Request for Information) sole-source determinations, RFQs, RFPs, and sealed bids, with issuing bodies generally requiring vendors to hold industry certifications such as Underwriters Laboratories or Lightning Protection Institute credentials when lightning protection work is involved.

Recent activity spans Florida, Georgia, and Texas. Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale issued an RFI dated May 6, 2026 (due May 18, 2026) evaluating the Thor Guard, Inc. TG-360 Lightning Prediction and Detection System for integration with existing infrastructure at County Parks and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport; the Georgia Department of Transportation posted an eRFQ on April 8, 2026 (due May 4, 2026) for Automated Weather Observing System commodities; Texas Tech University released RFP 2026-1183 on March 6, 2026 for procurement, installation, and five-year maintenance of three C-band dual-polarization weather radars with associated infrastructure near Brownwood and Fredericksburg, including mandatory HUB subcontracting and NIST 800-53 cybersecurity controls; and Brevard County solicited sealed bids for lightning protection system installations at the Melbourne Courthouse and Historic Titusville Courthouse with a bid deadline of January 27, 2026, requiring UL or LPI certification and compliance with NFPA 780 and UL96A standards.
