UNSPSC 46161523: Parking lot snow melter

A type of device that is designed as the snow removal and anti-icer by installing it below the entry slope to the parking lot, outdoor parking lot entrance, road surface and others with the cable that coats the heat wire with the insulation material, metal, polyvinyl chloride and others.

UNSPSC 46161523 Parking lot snow melter is a Commodity code that shows little relevant recent activity aligned with its nominal scope. The recent opportunities posted under this code span traffic control devices, pavement markings, traffic signal installations, and barricade deployment services—work that is entirely unrelated to snow-melting equipment for parking lots. The code appears to have been misapplied or is seldom used by state and local procurement offices for its intended product category.

State and local jurisdictions that do solicit under related traffic-control and pavement-marking codes include city departments of transportation (Atlanta, Charlotte, Tucson, Dallas, Brownsville, Madison), county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough, Okaloosa, Pasco, Floyd, Tattnall, Thomas), regional transit and infrastructure authorities (Orange County, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport), and state transportation departments (Georgia, Texas, South Dakota, Kentucky). Recent activity clusters in the Southeast (Georgia, Florida, North Carolina) and Southwest (Texas, Arizona), with scattered opportunities across the Midwest and Mid-Atlantic. Representative solicitations include the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners' ITB for rental of traffic control devices (response due October 28, 2026, estimated value $688,970 over three years), the Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for work zone temporary traffic control devices (response due October 23, 2026), and the City of Charlotte's ITB for pavement marking materials (response due October 6, 2026). The code does not reflect demand for parking lot snow-melting equipment and should be deprioritized in favor of codes aligned with actual traffic management and roadway maintenance procurement activity.
