UNSPSC 41114427: Wind vane

A meter that observes the direction of wind blowing. It is consisted of two wings in general that is designed to read the wind direction with the indicator for the wind direction, and it has the remote reader attached.

UNSPSC 41114427 Wind vane is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it reflect a mismatch between the nominal taxonomy and the work actually being solicited. The opportunities show minimal engagement with standalone wind-vane equipment and instead focus on integrated weather observation and lightning detection systems — automated weather observing systems (AWOS), lightning prediction and detection platforms, weather radar deployment, and lightning protection installations. State and local buying under this code centers on comprehensive environmental monitoring and safety infrastructure rather than discrete anemometer accessories.

The issuing bodies reflect the geographic and functional diversity of state and local procurement: Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale (RFI, May 2026, for Thor Guard TG-360 lightning detection and prediction system integration at County Parks and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport); the Georgia Department of Transportation (eRFQ, April 2026, for AWOS commodities); Texas Tech University's Office of Procurement Services (RFP 2026-1183, March 2026, for three C-band dual-polarization weather radars with towers, shelters, and five-year maintenance support); and Brevard County, Florida (sealed bid B-2-26-09, February 2026, for lightning protection system installations at two courthouse locations). Activity is concentrated in the Southeast and South, with Florida and Georgia showing the most recent solicitations. The code appears underutilized for its stated purpose, with no standalone wind-vane procurements evident in the recent opportunities block, suggesting either tag misclassification or very limited state and local demand for wind-vane commodities as discrete line items.
