UNSPSC 41115509: Underground pipe and cable detector

A detector that checks the presence of underground reclaimed materials, such as communication cable underground, power cable, gas pipeline, water pipeline, underground pipeline and others.

UNSPSC 41115509 Underground pipe and cable detector is a Commodity code that encompasses detection and locating equipment used to identify subsurface utilities and infrastructure — the kind of specialized instrumentation that state and local jurisdictions procure as part of electrical equipment, law enforcement, and emergency-response inventory. The recent opportunities tagged to this code show limited direct alignment with underground detection equipment; instead, they reflect broader electrical equipment and law enforcement supply solicitations where detection devices may constitute a line item alongside other ancillary equipment rather than the primary procurement focus.

The issuing bodies include independent school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio, Texas), state purchasing divisions (Nevada Department of Human Services through the State of Nevada Purchasing Division), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-jurisdictional coalitions (Sourcewell on behalf of Franklin County, Grant County, Grays Harbor County, Chelan County, Yakima County, and participating entities across the United States and Canada). Recent opportunities are concentrated in Texas, Nevada, and the Pacific Northwest. Representative recent solicitations include Northside Independent School District's IFB 2026-098 for electrical equipment, parts, supplies, rentals, repairs, and services with a due date of July 1, 2026; the State of Nevada Purchasing Division's competitive quote request for a battery back-up system (40DHHSS3859) with a May 27, 2026 deadline; and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment with a June 16, 2026 submission deadline serving a multi-state cooperative purchasing framework. The code shows sparse, tangential recent activity — no solicitation explicitly centers on underground detection equipment as a primary deliverable.
