UNSPSC 41115200: Radar and sonar systems and components

UNSPSC 41115200 Radar and sonar systems and components is a Class code that state and local governments procure primarily for traffic enforcement, public safety, and fisheries research. Recent solicitations show heavy purchasing of red-light camera systems, speed detection radar units, pan-tilt-zoom traffic monitoring cameras, and multibeam sonar for marine research, with work spanning front-end equipment procurement, installation, operations, and ongoing maintenance. School zone automated speed enforcement dominates the recent activity — cities and counties are pursuing comprehensive systems combining radar detection, license plate readers, cameras, and violation processing, typically on multi-year contracts with revenue-sharing or fixed-fee models. Law enforcement agencies are acquiring handheld radar guns (Applied Concepts Stalker DSR 2X Direction-Sensing Radar for vehicles and motorcycles) and traffic safety equipment including lights and detection systems. The issuing bodies include city traffic departments (Orlando, Phoenix, Brownsville, Madison, Fort Myers, Kissimmee), county commissioners and sheriff's offices (Marion County Florida, Gwinnett County Georgia, Pasco County Florida, Orange County Florida), state transportation departments (Mississippi, Utah, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission), and special purpose authorities (Sourcewell cooperative purchasing).

Geographic concentration is strongest in Florida, Georgia, and the Southwest, with significant activity in North Carolina, Texas, and the upper Midwest. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Orlando's RFP for a comprehensive Red-Light Camera Traffic Infraction Detector System covering 80 intersections (RFP26-0163, due September 17, 2026), requiring system design, 4K video capture, 48-hour event delivery, daily remittance, and five-year data retention across a five-year term with optional extensions to ten years total; the City of Phoenix's IFB for Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras (IFB-26-0280, due August 7, 2026) supplying HDTV 1080p IP cameras with motion detection, ONVIF compliance, and FIPS 140-3 certification for a five-year traffic monitoring program; Marion County Florida's sole-source procurements for Stalker DSR 2X radar systems for sheriff's traffic units (due July 13, 2026); Orange County Florida's $5,173,065.07 sealed-bid ITS fiber-optic network repair and construction (Y26-194, due July 7, 2026); and the City of Brunswick Georgia's revenue-sharing automated speed detection school zone safety system (due June 5, 2026) covering radar, lidar, and ALPR technology. The State of Mississippi has posted two KA-Band radar solicitations for approximately 200 units (Bid 3160008060 and IFB 3160007863). Most school zone and traffic enforcement contracts operate on net-zero or revenue-share models where vendors bear capital and operational costs in exchange for a percentage of collected fines.
