UNSPSC 81151501: Climatology

UNSPSC 81151501 Climatology is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure weather observation and forecasting services, along with related equipment and data systems that support operational decision-making in transportation and facilities management. The code captures automated weather monitoring systems, real-time weather intelligence platforms, and forecasting data feeds used by transportation departments and municipal agencies to respond to weather emergencies, manage winter maintenance operations, and support facility planning. Issuing bodies under this code include state transportation departments and municipal governments; recent activity shows Georgia Department of Transportation and Illinois Department of Transportation as repeat procurers, alongside city-level facilities departments such as the City of DeBary, Florida.

Recent opportunities span Florida, Georgia, and Illinois. The Georgia Department of Transportation posted an electronic RFQ on April 8, 2026, due May 4, 2026, to establish a contract for Automated Weather Observing System (AWOS) commodities to support transportation operations. The Illinois Department of Transportation issued a renewal notice on March 4, 2026, due March 19, 2026, for Enhanced Weather Forecasting Services — the second renewal year of an existing contract with incumbent DTN, LLC, valued at $254,022.22 annually, delivering electronic warning and alert systems for severe weather to support snow and ice removal across nine districts. The City of DeBary, Florida posted a competitive bid (Solicitation 0315) on April 13, 2026, due April 10, 2015, for irrigation system improvements at Rob Sullivan Park, though this opportunity appears tangential to the climatology code's primary scope and likely represents a tagging misalignment rather than representative activity under the code.
