UNSPSC 41114422: Rain gauge calibrator

Equipment that is used to determine the accuracy of rain gauge by supplying the water from the drop speed ranged from 20mm per hour to 30mm per hour by using the burette or rotary pump.

UNSPSC 41114422 Rain gauge calibrator is a Commodity code that does not reflect the work actually being solicited under it in state and local procurement. Recent opportunities tagged to this code include lightning detection and prediction systems, automated weather observation equipment, weather radar deployment, and lightning protection system installations — none of which are rain gauge calibrators or calibration services. Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale issued an RFI in May 2026 for a Thor Guard, Inc. TG-360 Lightning Prediction and Detection System to integrate with existing infrastructure at County Parks and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport; the Georgia Department of Transportation posted an eRFQ in April 2026 for Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) commodities; and Brevard County solicited sealed bids in January 2026 for lightning protection system installations at two courthouse facilities. The issuing bodies span state departments (GDOT), county governments (Broward, Brevard), municipalities (City of Fort Lauderdale), and university procurement offices (Texas Tech University). The code shows little relevant recent activity in its stated scope.

The geographic activity visible in recent opportunities covers Florida (Broward, Brevard), Georgia (GDOT), and Texas (Texas Tech University). A Texas Tech RFP issued in March 2026 for weather radar deployment under the Texas Flood Project required procurement, installation, and five-year maintenance of three C-band dual-polarization weather radars at sites near Brownwood, Fredericksburg, and Senora or Eldorado, with mandatory HUB subcontracting plans, NIST 800-53 cybersecurity controls, and award anticipated in July 2026. The absence of rain gauge calibration opportunities in the recent record, combined with the mismatch between the code's nominal scope and the weather-monitoring and lightning-protection work actually tagged to it, suggests this code does not align with current state and local procurement activity in weather or environmental monitoring.
