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 (Commodity) captures state and local government demand for radar-based traffic enforcement and speed detection systems, though recent opportunities show the code is being applied inconsistently against the actual goods being solicited. The recent activity reflects purchase of two distinct product lines: direction-sensing radar systems for law enforcement traffic units and automated speed detection camera systems (combining radar, lidar, and automated license plate reader technology) for school zones and intersection enforcement. Issuing bodies include county sheriff offices (Marion County, Florida), city transportation and traffic engineering departments (Orlando, Phoenix, Madison, Brownsville, City of Fort Myers), county school transportation programs (Orange County, Gwinnett County, Georgia), and county commissioners' procurement offices. State-level procurement appears in Mississippi's bid for KA-Band radar units and New Jersey's statewide law enforcement equipment contract. The code appears on solicitations for both standalone radar speed-detection equipment destined for traffic law enforcement vehicles and integrated automated enforcement systems where radar functions as one component of multi-technology violation detection platforms.

Recent opportunities cluster in Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with additional activity in Mississippi, New Jersey, North Carolina, Arizona, and Wisconsin. Marion County, Florida issued two sole-source procurements in July 2026 for Stalker DSR 2X direction-sensing radar systems (RFB numbers 26SS-107 and 26SS-108, bids due July 13, 2026) to equip Sheriff's Office traffic enforcement vehicles. The City of Orlando solicited a comprehensive red-light camera traffic infraction detector system covering 80 intersections (RFP 26-0163, due September 17, 2026) combining video capture, image processing, and payment processing. The City of Phoenix issued an IFB for Pan-Tilt-Zoom cameras supporting traffic monitoring (IFB-26-0280, offers due August 7, 2026 at 2:00 p.m.), with HDTV 1080 resolution and IP66 protection specified. Orange County, Florida has two pending school zone speed detection procurements: a five-year contract for fiber-optic network infrastructure repair and construction (Y26-194, $5,173,065.07 estimated, bids due July 7, 2026) and a ten-year school zone speed detection safety program (Y26-131, $31,464,000.00, proposals now due April 16, 2026, extended from March 24). The City of Brownsville, Texas is procuring 12th Street traffic signal improvements (IFB 145-26-EPW-IFB, bids due May 26, 2026) including radar vehicle detection systems and C-V2X roadside units. Gwinnett County and the City of Brunswick, Georgia, and the City of Fort Myers, Florida have issued school zone speed detection contracts structured as revenue-sharing arrangements where the vendor bears all equipment and operational costs and retains a percentage of collected fines. Mississippi issued duplicate solicitations for approximately 200 KA-Band radar units (Bid 3160008060 / IFB 3160007863, proposals due June 12, 2026 and March 4, 2026 respectively) for law enforcement speed detection. New Jersey's statewide procurement (T3163, bid 26DPP01263, due June 24, 2026) includes laser/radar speed detection equipment as one of nine law enforcement equipment categories available through NJSTART cooperative purchasing to more than 2,800 participants.
