UNSPSC 41114429: Instrumental Runway Visual Range (IRVR) system

Runway Visual Range, or IRVR System provides an automated assessment of the distance an aircraft pilot can see the runway surface markings and lights.

UNSPSC 41114429 Instrumental Runway Visual Range (IRVR) system is a Commodity code describing specialized airport weather monitoring equipment, but the recent opportunities block shows no active solicitations for IRVR systems themselves. The code sees minimal relevant recent activity among state and local government buyers.

Recent opportunities tagged to this code involve unrelated airport and transportation infrastructure procurements—aircraft boarding ramps, ground support tugs, access control systems, weather observation systems (AWOS rather than IRVR), bus wash equipment, and terminal sweepers—none of which are instrumental runway visual range systems. The issuing bodies span airports and aviation authorities (Savannah Airport Commission, Destin-Fort Walton Beach Airport via Okaloosa County, McKinney National Airport, Capitol City Airport via Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, Jack Brooks Regional Airport via Jefferson County, and others), plus transit and municipal departments. No state-level repeat buyers appear in the recent block for this specific code. Geographic distribution includes Florida, Texas, Georgia, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Kentucky, and New Jersey, with no apparent concentration. The code appears to receive infrequent or mis-tagged procurement activity; business development professionals should verify whether opportunities actually calling for IRVR equipment are being labeled under this code or whether the code is being applied to tangentially related airport systems work.
