UNSPSC 95121801: Radar station

A building or structure where radar is used

UNSPSC 95121801 Radar station is a Commodity-tier code whose recent activity shows little relevance to radar procurement. State and local governments posting under this code over the past month have instead solicited irrigation system installations, stormwater drainage improvements, water and sewer infrastructure work, sidewalk construction, lift station installation, fire hydrant replacement, valve exercising, meter changeouts, utility relocations, and interpretive displays for zoo exhibits. The mismatch between the code's nominal scope and actual procurement suggests either miscoding by issuing bodies or that the code captures infrastructure and utility work more broadly than its name indicates. Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary, Florida's irrigation system improvement for Rob Sullivan Park (IFB, bid due April 10, 2015 — posted October 19, 2026 but with a historical deadline suggesting data quality issues); Collier County's Immokalee Sports Complex Phase 1A & 1B construction (IFB 26-8703, bids due November 2, 2026 for $6.24 million estimated contract value); and the City of Plant City's McIntosh Park Wetland Construction project (IFB 26-048UO-IFB, bids due in October 2026 with state grant funding). Issuing bodies span counties (Hillsborough County, Orange County, DeKalb County), cities (DeBary, Plant City, Lubbock, Valdosta, Monroe, Casselberry, Albany), utility commissions (Orlando Utilities Commission, Fort Valley Utility Commission, Ocala Electric Utility), transit authorities (Escambia County's ECAT facility), and development authorities across Florida, Georgia, Texas, Mississippi, South Carolina, and California.

The geographic spread is dominated by Florida, Georgia, and Texas, with secondary activity in South Carolina, Mississippi, California, and other states. Recent solicitations cluster around water and wastewater infrastructure—force mains, gravity mains, lift stations, meter connections, and trunk line replacements—alongside stormwater management, clearing and grubbing, sidewalk improvements, and emergency utility repairs. Most opportunities are posted as ITB (Invitation for Bid), IFB (Invitation for Bids), or RFP structures with response dates between late October and November 2026. Bidders face routine requirements for contractor licensing, performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value, bid security at 5 to 10 percent, comprehensive general liability insurance from $1 million to $5 million depending on scope, workers' compensation, and E-Verify compliance. Set-asides or preferences appear sporadically—SBE goals of 10 percent (Hillsborough County) and local preferences of one percent (City of Plant City)—rather than systematically. The code shows active procurement volume but a fundamental disconnect between its stated purpose and the work actually being bought, making it unreliable for targeting water, wastewater, utility, or infrastructure vendors seeking radar-specific opportunities.
