UNSPSC 43221716: Pager core equipment

Pager core equipment manage signals in the VHF,UHF or VHF/UHF range.

UNSPSC 43221716 Pager core equipment (Commodity) covers emergency responder radio systems, distributed antenna systems, bi-directional amplifiers, and related in-building radio frequency coverage infrastructure that state and local governments deploy to enhance 700 MHz public safety communications in municipal buildings and facilities. Recent solicitations show the code is being applied broadly to emergency responder radio coverage system (ERRCS) design, installation, testing, and optimization work rather than discrete pager hardware alone. Issuing bodies include city procurement divisions, county sheriffs' offices, state information resources departments, and cooperative purchasing entities. The City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement has posted multiple solicitations for turnkey in-building RF enhancement services; the County of Santa Clara Office of the Sheriff is procuring Motorola radios and accessories; and the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR) is managing a statewide indefinite-quantity, multiple-award contract for cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite services across all state agencies. Sourcewell, acting as a service cooperative on behalf of multiple Washington counties and jurisdictions, issued a cooperative purchasing RFP for law enforcement equipment with nationwide participation eligibility, reflecting the trend toward leveraging collective buying power across public sector entities.

Recent activity is concentrated in Arizona, California, Texas, and Washington. The City of Phoenix reissued its in-building radio frequency coverage contract (IFB-26-0148, due April 30, 2026) and subsequently posted a revised solicitation (IFB260355, due July 10, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.) for five-year turnkey ERRCS, DAS, and BDA services at Sky Harbor International, Deer Valley, and Goodyear airports, with firm-fixed pricing on a per-unit basis, NICET certification requirements for key personnel, and DBE-Neutral program compliance. The Texas DIR's TEX-AN-WPS procurement (due July 23, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time) is a four-year indefinite-quantity contract allowing state agencies to procure cellular, wireless, pager, satellite services, and related infrastructure with optional renewal; respondents must demonstrate past performance, technical capability, and account organization, with a bidders conference scheduled for June 25, 2026. The County of Santa Clara RFQ for Motorola radios and accessories closed June 17, 2026. All recent opportunities require firm-fixed pricing, compliance with accessibility and vendor diversity requirements where applicable, and demonstrated experience in emergency communications or law enforcement equipment procurement.
