UNSPSC 41115201: Radarbased surveillance systems

UNSPSC 41115201 Radar-based surveillance systems is a Commodity code encompassing traffic enforcement and law enforcement radar detection equipment that state and local governments procure to support speed enforcement, red-light violation detection, and traffic safety monitoring. State and local agencies buy radar guns (both stationary and mobile variants), traffic camera systems with radar or lidar integration, automated enforcement platforms combining radar detection with video and license plate recognition, and associated software and violation processing services. Recent solicitations show traffic speed detection systems dominating the activity, with agencies deploying equipment at school zones, signalized intersections, and targeted high-risk corridors under revenue-sharing, flat-fee, or cost-per-ticket models.

Buying bodies include city transportation and public safety departments (Orlando, Phoenix, Brownsville, Madison, Brunswick, Kissimmee, Fort Myers, San Marcos), county sheriffs' offices and transportation authorities (Marion County, Orange County, Gwinnett County, Rockland County, Pasco County), school districts and consolidated city-county governments (Columbus/Muscogee County), state departments (New Jersey Treasury, Mississippi, Nevada Department of Public Safety), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing entities (Sourcewell). City transportation departments and counties managing school zone safety are the primary repeat buyers; Orange County, Florida and Gwinnett County, Georgia have shown high-volume automated enforcement activity with incumbent vendors holding revenue-sharing agreements. The City of Orlando's September 2026 RFP for red-light camera system infrastructure spanning 80 intersections (45 existing, 55 new) exemplifies the scope—covering 4K video capture, 48-hour event delivery, installation, maintenance, and five-year contracts with optional extensions. The City of Phoenix's August 2026 IFB for pan-tilt-zoom cameras supporting traffic monitoring specifies HDTV 1080 resolution, 31x optical zoom, IP66/IK10 ratings, ONVIF compliance, and FIPS 140-3 certification. Smaller jurisdictions procure single units or limited deployments; Marion County, Florida issued sole-source procurements in July 2026 for Stalker DSR 2X radar systems for traffic units. Orange County's July 2026 IFB for $5.17 million in fiber-optic ITS network infrastructure reflects the systems integration component underlying modern enforcement deployments.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Orlando, Orange County, Kissimmee, Fort Myers, Pasco County) and Georgia (Brunswick, Gwinnett County, Thomas County, Columbus), with secondary activity in Texas (Brownsville, San Marcos), Arizona (Phoenix), Wisconsin (Madison), New York (Rockland County), Mississippi, North Carolina (Charlotte), and Nevada. The code shows sustained Q2–Q3 2026 activity. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Orlando RFP 26-0163 (red-light cameras, responses due September 17, 2026), the City of Phoenix IFB 26-0280 (PTZ cameras, responses due August 7, 2026), Marion County sole-source 26SS-107 and 26SS-108 (Stalker radar systems, July 13, 2026 deadline), the State of Mississippi Bid 3160008060 (estimated 200 KA-Band radars, June 12, 2026 deadline), and Gwinnett County RFP RP018-26 (school zone speed detection on revenue-sharing model, responses due May 6, 2026). Contract terms typically span three to ten years with renewal options, and procurement vehicles include traditional IFBs, RFPs (frequently for managed services), and sole-source awards for proprietary radar platforms. Revenue-sharing models are standard in school zone enforcement; fixed-cost and equipment-supply-only models dominate municipal intersection and corridor work.
