UNSPSC 46161514: Cats eye road stud

A facility that is installed on the road surface for seeking the flawless flow and traffic safety by clearly inducing the views of operators at night and in rain as the lines on the road surface is supplements as the road auxiliary unit.

UNSPSC 46161514 Cats eye road stud (Commodity) does not reflect the actual work being solicited under this code in state and local procurement. The recent opportunities posted under this designation span traffic control devices, pavement markings, barricade deployment, and signal installation—none of which align with the cat's eye road stud product definition. State and local governments are using this code to tag a far broader scope of traffic-operations materials and services, including temporary and permanent traffic control systems, pavement striping (thermoplastic, paint, and reflective tape), signage, barriers, cones, arrow boards, variable message boards, and signal infrastructure. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual buying patterns suggests either a classification error in the jurisdictions' procurement systems or a use of this commodity code as a catch-all placeholder for traffic-operations categories that lack precise dedicated codes.
