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 is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure specialized antennas, wireless infrastructure components, and satellite-enabled communication systems for public safety, broadcast, and agency-wide telecommunications networks. Recent solicitations reveal a distinct split between narrowband antenna systems for remote cellular coverage and transmission facility management spanning large infrastructure deployments. The issuing bodies span state departments (Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Department of Information Resources, New Jersey Department of the Treasury on behalf of the Public Broadcasting Authority), county governments (Marion County Oregon, Santa Clara County), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell). The scope includes omnidirectional high-gain antennas for border surveillance and cellular dead-zone coverage, tower climbing and antenna installation crews with OSHA-certified technicians, transmission facility inspection and preventive maintenance across multiple regional sites, Motorola radios and accessories for law enforcement, and statewide indefinite-quantity contracts for cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite voice and data services including equipment and infrastructure.

Geographic activity concentrates in Texas, the Pacific Northwest (Oregon), California (Santa Clara County), and the Northeast (New Jersey), with Sourcewell's multi-state cooperative vehicle spanning Washington state and beyond. Representative recent solicitations include the Texas Department of Public Safety's RFI for omnidirectional long-range high-gain antennas with November 3, 2026 submission deadline, designed to integrate with motion-activated camera systems for border operations and requiring carrier and band compatibility (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, Band 14/FirstNet, 4G LTE, 5G); Marion County Oregon's RFP for tower climbing and antenna installation services across fifteen sites with September 9, 2026 response deadline, requiring Oregon CCB licensure and OSHA/ANSI-certified climbers, budgeting 75 working days of labor; and the New Jersey Department of the Treasury's bid solicitation on behalf of the Public Broadcasting Authority for transmission facility management across thirteen facilities with June 12, 2026 quote deadline, mandatory site visit June 2, 2026, subject to prevailing wage requirements and New Jersey Small Business Enterprise subcontracting set-aside. The Texas DIR's TEX-AN-WPS indefinite-quantity multiple-award contract (responses due July 23, 2026, bidders conference June 25, 2026) establishes statewide cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite services with VetHUB subcontracting requirements and WCAG accessibility conformance pass-fail thresholds.
