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 with minimal recent state and local procurement activity directly tied to its nominal scope. The recent opportunities tagged under this code do not involve wind vanes; instead, they reflect state and local solicitation for lightning detection, lightning protection systems, and weather monitoring equipment. The Texas Water Development Board issued an IFB in August 2026 for temperature sensors, cables, and mounting equipment—devices unrelated to wind direction measurement. The mismatch between the code name and the work actually being bought suggests this code does not accurately reflect current state and local procurement patterns, or that issuing bodies are tagging lightning and weather monitoring systems under an incorrect UNSPSC designation.

The recent opportunities show activity from state agencies and county governments in Texas and Florida. The Texas Military Department issued IFB TMD26FMO0044558 in September 2026 for lightning protection system installation at Camp Swift in Bastrop, with a response deadline of September 26, 2026 and a mandatory pre-bid site visit on September 16, 2026. Hillsborough County issued a sole-source procurement notice (SS2600405) in early September 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. Broward County and the City of Fort Lauderdale posted an RFI in May 2026 regarding a Thor Guard, Inc. TG-360 Lightning Prediction and Detection System for integration with existing infrastructure at County Parks and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. These three opportunities span Texas and Florida; no other states appear in the recent block. The code shows no clear supply-side vendor concentration or geographic concentration beyond these jurisdictions.
