UNSPSC 43211718: Camera based vision systems for automated data collection

Camera based vision systems for automated data collection is a collection of hardware and software used for automated data capturing. The components which go into the systems are optical or laser scanners for scanning the objects, software and computers for recognition and storing the data. They find application in in retail, commercial, manufacturing, transportation and logistics, and postal and parcel delivery industries and specialised fields like semi-conductor and fiber optic manufacture industries.

UNSPSC 43211718 Camera based vision systems for automated data collection is a Commodity-level code covering mobile camera and sensor systems used by state transportation departments and municipalities to collect roadway asset inventory data, pavement condition metrics, and vehicle detection data at scale. State and local buyers deploy these systems to reduce worker exposure on active roadways, improve data accuracy in asset management and traffic operations, and support compliance with inventory and performance measurement requirements. Recent solicitations show the code active across transportation data collection—from retroreflectivity surveys of pavement markings to comprehensive roadway asset inventories including signs, barriers, and pedestrian facilities—as well as specialized applications such as high-speed vehicle detection at signalized corridors and diverging diamond interchange monitoring.

State transportation departments dominate recent activity, with the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) and Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) issuing multiple opportunities in June 2026. Caltrans issued IFB 56A0887 (Asset Data Collection-North) due June 29, 2026, seeking street-level imagery, mobile LiDAR, and point cloud data across 8,136 centerline miles in northern California districts with a 3% DVBE participation requirement and a five-year contract term through August 2029 with optional three-year extensions and up to $5 million in additional work; Caltrans also issued RFQ 56A0889 (Retroreflectivity Data Collection) due July 8, 2026, for annual surveys of 85,556 stripe miles using mobile retroreflectivity units, structured with 3% DVBE goals, 25% small business participation encouragement, and compensation on per-centerline-mile, monthly, and hourly rates across a three-year term through August 2029 with optional extensions and $5 million additional work. FDOT District One issued ITB 26-1358-DN due June 16, 2026, for 20 Ouster OS1 Rev 07.0 LiDAR sensor units supporting connected vehicle deployment at 25 intersections on US 41 in Lee County, Florida; separately, FDOT's Transportation Data & Analytics Office posted RFI RFI16191 (Camera Sensor Systems for High Speed Vehicle Data Collection) with a revised due date of July 10, 2026, seeking vendor capability information on camera systems for vehicle data collection to inform future competitive procurements. Activity is concentrated in California and Florida, with FDOT showing multiple concurrent initiatives in traffic signal detection and connected vehicle infrastructure and Caltrans representing the largest active volume in statewide asset inventory work.
