UNSPSC 46111703: Infrared IR illuminator

Equipment that illuminates the infrared ray for identifying the movement of object or subject for monitoring at night.

UNSPSC 46111703 Infrared IR illuminator (Commodity) shows limited direct relevance to the recent state and local contract opportunities available. The code nominally encompasses infrared illumination equipment, but the most recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code predominantly feature security screening and weapons detection systems—X-ray scanners, metal detectors, body armor, and advanced threat-detection platforms—rather than infrared illuminators.

The opportunities in the block span several issuing-body types: a state transportation security agency (Texas Department of Public Safety), municipal law enforcement (City of Charlotte), statewide purchasing divisions conducting broad-based law enforcement equipment procurements (State of New Jersey, State of Oregon), school districts (Polk County, Florida), and higher education institutions (University of Texas at Austin, Oregon Health Authority). Recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Public Safety's IFB for a Hi-Scan 6040C X-ray scanner system with training and installation services (due July 24, 2026); the City of Charlotte's RFP for NIJ-compliant body armor with sizing and fitting services (due July 29, 2026); and the State of New Jersey's statewide T3163 law enforcement equipment and technology contract covering nine categories of detection and surveillance equipment, body cameras, and drones with a question deadline extended to May 27, 2026 and quote submissions due June 24, 2026. The Oregon Health Authority's RFP #6181 for a high-throughput weapons detection system with a not-to-exceed value of $800,000 and proposals due April 7, 2026 represents another significant opportunity in the block. Additional recent activity includes the University of Texas at Austin's February 2026 RFP for portable metal detector rental systems and event security services with a three-year anticipated term beginning April 1, 2026. The code shows active procurement in Texas, Florida, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Oregon, though the mismatch between the code name and the actual scope of work being solicited suggests this code may not accurately reflect the security equipment category into which these opportunities have been classified.
