UNSPSC 46161505: Parking meters

UNSPSC 46161505 Parking meters (Commodity) encompasses cloud-based parking guidance systems, real-time occupancy monitoring platforms, and integrated parking management and enforcement solutions that state and local governments deploy to maximize parking utilization and revenue across downtown districts, regional parking facilities, and airport operations. Recent solicitations show municipalities and special-purpose authorities procuring turnkey systems combining flush-mounted parking sensors, digital signage, web dashboards with occupancy analytics, mobile payment processing, automated license plate recognition (ALPR) for enforcement, and citation management—often bundled with consulting services for curb and parking policy strategy. The issuing-body mix includes city parking departments (New Smyrna Beach, Dallas, Beaverton, Madison), county authorities (Santa Clara County, Walton County, Pinellas County), urban redevelopment agencies (Beaverton), and airport authorities (Melbourne), with repeat activity from the City of New Smyrna Beach, which posted two PGS procurements within the recent window.

Activity is geographically distributed across Florida (New Smyrna Beach, Walton County, Pinellas County, Melbourne), Texas (Dallas), Oregon (Beaverton), California (Santa Clara County), and Wisconsin (Madison), with no single state dominating. Representative recent solicitations include the City of New Smyrna Beach's Parking Guidance System rebid (RFP 2226MP, due June 22, 2026), covering 1,101 on-street and off-street parking spaces across two downtown areas with Phase 1 fixed pricing and a Phase 2 expansion option; the City of Dallas's consolidation of parking, citation, permit, and mobile payment services (RFP BCZ2600030027, due July 24, 2026); and the Beaverton Urban Redevelopment Agency's Downtown Parking Data Services engagement (RFP 26-044, due June 23, 2026), which interprets enforcement data from approximately 1,200 spaces via Motorola license plate recognition with daily reporting and API integration requirements. The Melbourne Airport Authority's Parking Lot Operator Services procurement (RFP 2025-1009, due November 6, 2025) and Pinellas County Parks' 5,400-space system replacement (RFP 250657RFP, due July 1, 2025) illustrate the scale and technical sophistication expected in mid-market regional procurements.
