UNSPSC 43221534: Radio link system

A two-way radio communication system (usually microwave); part of a more extensive telecommunication network.

UNSPSC 43221534 Radio link system is a Commodity code encompassing satellite-based communications systems with push-to-talk capability, ground-based radio equipment, and related infrastructure that state and local governments deploy for emergency responder coordination, law enforcement operations, and facility-wide communications across multiple locations. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions procuring both satellite-based services for first-responder networks and traditional radio hardware for law enforcement agencies, indicating the code captures a mix of infrastructure services and discrete equipment purchases rather than a narrowly defined product line.

Issuing bodies include county governments (Collier County in Florida, Santa Clara County in California), state departments (Texas Department of Information Resources, Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Texas Department of Transportation), school districts (Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Fairfax County Public Schools in Virginia), and cooperative purchasing vehicles serving multi-state regions (Sourcewell on behalf of Washington counties and other participating entities). County sheriffs' offices and corrections facilities appear as repeat end-users. Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, Florida, California, and Virginia, with cooperative procurement extending across multiple states. Representative recent opportunities include Collier County Board of County Commissioners' notice of intent to single-source Skybase Communications LLC for FloridaSatNet satellite phone services with push-to-talk, due July 22, 2026; Santa Clara County's RFQ for Motorola radios and accessories for the Office of the Sheriff, due June 17, 2026; and Texas Department of Information Resources' indefinite-quantity, multiple-award RFO for cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite voice and data services under the TEX-AN program, due July 23, 2026, with a bidders conference on June 25, 2026 and evaluation through September 2026 targeting October award.
