UNSPSC 46171608: Motion detectors

UNSPSC 46171608 Motion detectors (Commodity) covers security monitoring and response infrastructure that state and local governments procure to protect facilities, monitor access and intrusion events, and detect unauthorized activity — though recent solicitations under this code show significant scope drift toward comprehensive security operations, video surveillance systems maintenance, and emergency response services that extend well beyond motion-detector hardware alone. State and local issuing bodies soliciting under the code include school districts, state agencies, county governments, and transit authorities. Hillsborough County Public Schools in Tampa has posted two similar ITBs for supplemental maintenance and repair of Nortel/Avaya telephone systems and Honeywell Vista Series security panels, indicating repeat procurement activity within a single large district. The Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) issued a major RFO in April 2026 for comprehensive Security Operations Center services spanning SIEM, incident response, and vulnerability management — a substantially broader mandate than motion-detector procurement — suggesting that some issuing bodies are using this commodity code to tag integrated security infrastructure and services rather than discrete sensor hardware.

Geographic activity spans Texas, California, Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia. Representative recent opportunities include the California Department of Transportation's IFB 04A7389 (due June 18, 2026) for security video equipment maintenance and repair at four Bay Area tunnels, which requires C-10 Electrical Contractor licensure and includes 24-hour response service for the BASE system; Hillsborough County Public Schools' dual ITBs for telephone and security panel maintenance (ITB 26101 due April 8, 2026, and ITB 26031 due February 19, 2026), each requiring five years of experience with specific equipment types and two-hour emergency response capability; and Forsyth County Schools' B26-01 competitive sealed bid (due February 12, 2026) for 24/7/365 alarm monitoring across 130 facilities with Honeywell Alarmnet integration. The code shows active procurement across school systems and transportation agencies, but the volume and specificity of opportunities vary; activity does not concentrate in a single state or jurisdiction type.
