UNSPSC 41115203: Meteorology radar

A type of radar that is used in detecting the meteorology phenomenon. Rain, snow, and cloud consisted of water drop or ice crystal reflects the electric wave that it may detect the collective bodies in typhoon, thunderstorm, front and others.

UNSPSC 41115203 Meteorology radar is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under this code do not align with meteorology radar procurement. Instead, the opportunities reflect traffic enforcement, intelligent transportation systems, and related infrastructure work that would fall under traffic signal and detection equipment categories rather than weather-monitoring radar. The code shows little relevant recent activity for its stated scope.

Of the fifteen opportunities tagged with code 41115203, only two—Marion County's sole-source procurements for Stalker DSR 2X Direction-Sensing Radar (26SS-107, due July 13, 2026) and Stalker 2X Motorcycle Radar (26SS-108, due July 13, 2026)—describe actual radar systems. The remainder cover red-light and speed-enforcement camera systems, traffic signal construction and modernization, fiber-optic network infrastructure, vehicle inspection systems, school zone speed detection, and body armor. The Marion County procurements target traffic enforcement radar through sole-source awards to Applied Concepts, Inc., citing proprietary technology unavailable from competitors. All other opportunities are unrelated to meteorology radar. The issuing bodies span Florida counties and municipalities (Hillsborough County Schools, Pasco County, Orange County, Kissimmee, Ocala), Arizona cities (Tucson), Tennessee towns (Farragut), Georgia jurisdictions (Brunswick), Wisconsin counties (Portage, Dane), Texas cities (Brownsville), and state departments (Mississippi, Nevada, New York). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida and Arizona, with scattered activity across the Southeast, Midwest, and Southwest. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement activity suggests either a taxonomy classification error or an exceptionally narrow interpretation of "meteorology radar" that does not reflect current state and local purchasing patterns under this Commodity designation.
