UNSPSC 46171632: Passive infrared sensor

A device for security that is designed to output the electric signal by sensing the temperature change when an object with the movement penetrates while having all objects in watch zone keep watch status.

UNSPSC 46171632 Passive infrared sensor is a Commodity code, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it do not align with the code's nominal scope. The four posted solicitations involve full-body scanner systems for detention facility admissions (Collin County, Texas RFP with thermal and millimeter-wave detection capability), a firearms trade-in transaction (Columbus Consolidated Government Police Department, Georgia IFB), pressure and temperature instrumentation for water and wastewater utilities (City of Phoenix Water Services IFB), and atmospheric monitoring instruments for hazardous gas detection at water facilities (City of Phoenix Water Services IFB). Only the Collin County full-body scanner solicitation plausibly incorporates passive infrared sensing as a component; the others involve pressure transmitters, gas sensors, and firearms exchanges that fall outside the passive infrared sensor taxonomy. The issuing bodies are a county detention facility (Collin County), a municipal police department (Columbus), and a city water utility (Phoenix), with one notice from a school district (Washington County Board of Education, Georgia) for a sole-source award to Ecovasive for Triton Ultra Safety Sensors with no detail provided.

The geographic spread spans Texas (Collin County), Georgia (Columbus and Washington County), and Arizona (Phoenix). The one substantive recent opportunity under this code is Collin County RFP 2026-155 for a full-body scanner system with mandatory pre-submission conferences on August 24 and August 26, 2026 (both dates passed relative to the September 17, 2026 proposal due date, which also appears to have passed as of the October 20, 2026 current date), requesting a turnkey solution including hardware, installation, training, integration with Odyssey records management, and rapid-response support with a four-hour maximum turnaround at an estimated first-year cost of $242,000 plus subscription fees. The code shows little relevant recent activity overall; the mismatch between the nominal commodity definition and the posted solicitations suggests that state and local procurement offices are using this code inconsistently or that passive infrared sensors are not a primary procurement focus under this classification at present.
