UNSPSC 46161539: Reverse driving detection and alarm system

A device that automatically detects reverse-running vehicles on general passageways and entrances and exits, and prevents vehicles from entering with a warning sound and lighting of an entry prohibition sign.

UNSPSC 46161539 Reverse driving detection and alarm system (Commodity) does not match the work state and local governments are actively procuring under this code. The recent opportunities posted under this Commodity show no actual reverse-detection or alarm-system solicitations. Instead, the records list traffic control device rentals, barricade deployment services, traffic signal installations, pavement marking and striping services, and roadway resurfacing — none of which involve reverse driving detection or alarm functionality. The code appears to be applied inconsistently or erroneously to general traffic control and infrastructure work that falls outside the Commodity's stated scope. This misalignment makes the code an unreliable signal for business development purposes targeting genuine reverse-detection system opportunities in the state and local market.

State and local buyers posting under this code in recent months include county boards of commissioners (Hillsborough County, Florida; Okaloosa County, Florida; Tattnall County, Georgia; Pasco County, Florida), city transportation departments (Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Brownsville, Madison, Detroit), regional transit and infrastructure authorities (Orange County, Florida), and state departments of transportation (Georgia, South Dakota, Texas, Kentucky). Activity concentrates in the Southeast and Texas, with secondary volume in the Midwest and Mountain West. Representative recent solicitations—the City of Atlanta's barricade deployment RFQ (October 27, 2026 deadline), the Georgia Department of Transportation's work zone temporary traffic control devices RFQ (October 23, 2026), and Hillsborough County's traffic control device rental ITB valued at $688,970.00 over three years (October 28, 2026)—demonstrate that the code is being used to tag routine traffic operations procurements rather than reverse-detection systems. Firms pursuing this code should verify the actual scope in each solicitation before investing bid resources, as the code's taxonomy label does not reflect the commodity families actually being bought.
