UNSPSC 43221711: Satellite access equipment

Satellite access equipment receive and transmit signals in the VHF,UHF or VHF/UHF range.

UNSPSC 43221711 Satellite access equipment (Commodity) encompasses wireless and cellular connectivity infrastructure and devices procured by state and local governments for critical operations, law enforcement, and broadcast transmission management. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers purchasing satellite voice and data services, ruggedized cellular routers, wireless pagers, and related hardware and infrastructure for emergency response, remote network access, and operational continuity. The County of Santa Clara and the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) are active buyers in this space, with DIR's TEX-AN procurement representing a statewide indefinite-quantity framework available to all Texas agencies. Issuing bodies span state information technology departments, county sheriffs' offices, state broadcasting authorities, and cooperative purchasing vehicles; the Sourcewell cooperative procurement for law enforcement equipment indicates broader demand across participating counties in Washington and other jurisdictions nationwide.

Geographic activity centers on Texas, California, New Jersey, Florida, and Washington, with the Texas DIR procurement representing the largest scope—a four-year statewide indefinite-quantity contract covering cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite voice and data services for all state agencies with a bidders conference scheduled for June 25, 2026, and responses due July 23, 2026. The County of Santa Clara issued an RFQ for Motorola Radios and Accessories with response due June 17, 2026. The New Jersey Department of the Treasury, Division of Purchase and Property, solicited transmission facility management for the New Jersey Public Broadcasting Authority (NJPBA) covering thirteen television transmission facilities across three regions, with mandatory site visit June 2, 2026, and quote submission deadline June 12, 2026. Florida issued a Request for Information on ruggedized cellular routers (Cradlepoint E300) with a March 26, 2026, response deadline to assess sole-source justification and market alternatives. Sourcewell's RFP for law enforcement equipment (#061626), closing June 16, 2026, targets thousands of governmental agencies across multiple states through a cooperative purchasing framework.
