UNSPSC 46111704: Infrared IR receiver

Equipment that receives the infrared ray signal and converts it into the electric signal or voice signal.

UNSPSC 46111704 Infrared IR receiver is a Commodity code that does not align with the state and local contract opportunities recently posted under it. The most recent solicitations tagged to this code involve X-ray screening systems, metal detector rentals, weapons detection equipment, and body armor — none of which are infrared receivers or optical components. The Texas Department of Public Safety solicitation for a Hi-Scan 6040C X-ray scanner system (IFB 405-26R0019262, due July 24, 2026), the Oregon Health Authority procurement for a high-throughput weapons detection system (RFP #6181, due April 7, 2026 at $800,000), and the University of Texas at Austin's event-security metal detector rental RFP (72126059, due March 6, 2026) represent the body of recent activity, yet none address the code's nominal scope. The City of Charlotte's NIJ-compliant body armor solicitation (2692026221, due July 29, 2026) and the New Jersey Department of the Treasury's statewide law enforcement equipment and technology contract (26DPP01263 T3163, due June 24, 2026) similarly fall outside infrared receiver procurement. The mismatch suggests either systematic code-tagging error in state and local procurement systems or that the code no longer reflects genuine buying activity in this market.

The geographic spread of recent opportunities spans Texas, Florida, Oregon, North Carolina, New Jersey, and Texas again, with no concentration in any single jurisdiction. Issuing bodies include a state department (Texas DPS), a state health authority (Oregon), a state treasury office (New Jersey), two universities (University of Texas, implied institutional buyers), a city government (Charlotte), a school district (Polk County Florida), and a county government (Mecklenburg County North Carolina). Because the opportunities posted under this code do not reflect infrared receiver procurement, no meaningful assessment of buying patterns, repeat buyers, or sector concentration under the Commodity code itself is possible. Business development professionals should verify whether this code classification in state and local procurement systems reflects actual sourcing strategy or represents a data-quality issue requiring clarification before committing resources to pursuit.
