UNSPSC 41114424: Anenometer calibrator

Equipment that is used to determine the correction value of the anemometer used to measure the wind velocity of meteorology factors.

UNSPSC 41114424 Anemometer calibrator (Commodity) covers lightning detection, prediction, and weather monitoring hardware, software, installation, and maintenance services that state and local governments procure to protect facilities, critical infrastructure, and personnel from lightning hazards. The recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring complete lightning protection systems—from lightning detection and prediction equipment through installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance—rather than calibration services alone, indicating the code captures the full lifecycle of lightning risk management infrastructure. Work includes lightning protection system installation at facilities, acquisition and integration of proprietary lightning detection platforms with associated weather stations and alerting technology, preventative maintenance and upgrades of existing systems, firmware updates, and SMS-based alert services. Issuing bodies span state military departments, county government, and municipal authorities. The Texas Military Department, Hillsborough County, Texas Water Development Board, Broward County, and the City of Fort Lauderdale have all posted solicitations under or aligned with this code in the past four months.

Recent activity concentrates in Texas and Florida. The Texas Military Department issued IFB TMD26FMO0044558 on September 12, 2026 for lightning protection system installation at Camp Swift with a due date of September 26, 2026, requiring two to five years of commercial lightning protection experience and coverage under multiple liability policies. Hillsborough County posted a sole-source procurement (SS2600405) on September 3, 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, with a challenge deadline of September 11, 2026. The Texas Water Development Board issued IFB ESBD_548214 on August 11, 2026 for temperature sensors, cables, and mounting equipment including Apogee and Vaisala instruments, due August 25, 2026. Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale posted an RFI on May 6, 2026 to test sole-source justification for a Thor Guard, Inc. TG-360 Lightning Prediction and Detection System upgrade at County Parks and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, with responses due May 18, 2026.
