UNSPSC 43191502: Pagers

A personal messaging device capable of either one-way or 2-way communication of voice, numeric and/or alpha characters

UNSPSC 43191502 Pagers is a Commodity code encompassing emergency communication devices and systems procured by state and local agencies for law enforcement, public safety, corrections, transit, and school district operations. State and local buyers under this code are sourcing pager watches, transmitters, two-way radio systems with pager capability, in-building radio frequency coverage infrastructure, and related installation and maintenance services. The issuing bodies span state departments (California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, Texas Department of Information Resources), counties (Santa Clara County), cities (City of Phoenix), school districts (School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida), and multi-jurisdictional cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington state participating entities). A few agencies appear repeatedly—Santa Clara County issued RFQs for Motorola radios in June and July 2026, signaling ongoing demand for emergency communication equipment refresh and upgrade cycles.

Recent activity concentrates in California, Texas, Florida, and Washington. The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation posted an RFQ due June 22, 2026 for 100 pager watches, 32 transmitters, one-year warranty, and technical support, with delivery to CA State Prison Corcoran and contract term July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027 (with optional one-year extension at up to 10 percent funding increase); the procurement offers California small-business and disabled veteran business enterprise preferences. The Texas Department of Information Resources issued an indefinite-quantity, multiple-award RFP due July 23, 2026 for the TEX-AN wireless and pager services contract covering cellular, wireless, pager, satellite voice and data services, equipment, and infrastructure for all state agencies, with responses evaluated on experience and past performance (45%), technical approach (40%), and account organization (15%), and contract award anticipated October 2026. The City of Phoenix issued an IFB due July 10, 2026 for five-year in-building radio frequency coverage enhancement using bi-directional amplifiers and distributed antenna systems subject to DBE-Neutral requirements under 49 CFR Part 26. The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida posted an ITQ due June 3, 2026 for inspection, installation, and repair services for vehicle communication systems and two-way radios across the district's fleet. Santa Clara County's RFQs for Motorola radios and accessories (June 17 and July 24, 2026) and Sourcewell's RFP #061626 for law enforcement equipment (due June 16, 2026 on behalf of Washington participating entities) round out recent activity, though specific pager scope details are minimal in the latter two.
