UNSPSC 43221736: COSPAS/SARSAT system

(Search & Rescue Satellite System Complete) Cospas-Sarsat is an international, humanitarian search and rescue system that uses satellites to detect and locate emergency beacons carried by ships, aircraft, or individuals. The system consists of a network of satellites, ground stations, mission control centers, and rescue coordination centers.

UNSPSC 43221736 COSPAS/SARSAT system is a Commodity code representing search-and-rescue satellite communication equipment and services that state and local governments procure for emergency response and maritime safety operations. The code shows minimal recent activity in the provided opportunities dataset; the solicitations tagged to this code do not reflect genuine COSPAS/SARSAT procurements but instead include a county purchasing department relocation notice, drone light display services, and aircraft ground support equipment—none of which involve satellite-based search-and-rescue systems. This mismatch indicates the code sees little relevant recent state and local procurement activity, or state and local issuing bodies are misclassifying their emergency response and maritime safety solicitations under this taxonomy.

No representative COSPAS/SARSAT opportunities appear in the recent state and local contract record. The code does not currently signal active buying intent among state departments, counties, cities, school districts, transit authorities, or other public bodies. Prospective vendors should monitor this code for future activity but should not pursue based on current procurement signals.
