UNSPSC 43221529: Call meter

A device to record the number of phone calls by the telephone subscribers.

UNSPSC 43221529 Call meter (Commodity) covers satellite-based and terrestrial voice communication equipment—specifically Iridium phones with push-to-talk capability, Motorola radios, VoIP telephone systems, and related telephony infrastructure—solicited by county governments, state agencies, and school districts for emergency response, facility operations, and workforce communications. State and local buyers under this code seek to reduce reliance on traditional cellular networks during emergencies, upgrade legacy telephone systems to IP-based platforms, and equip law enforcement and facility maintenance personnel with durable, redundant communication devices. The issuing bodies span county sheriff's offices and facility operations departments (Collier County, Santa Clara County), state departments managing emergency telecommunications (Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology, Texas Department of Transportation), school districts with multi-facility communication needs (Hillsborough County Public Schools, Fairfax County Public Schools), and state cooperative purchasing programs that establish statewide or multi-state contracts available to hundreds of jurisdictions.
