UNSPSC 43221717: Pager access equipment

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

UNSPSC 43221717 Pager access equipment is a Commodity code under which state and local governments are currently soliciting in-building radio frequency coverage systems, wireless and pager services, and related emergency responder communications infrastructure rather than traditional pager devices. The City of Phoenix and the County of Santa Clara are the primary recent issuers, with Phoenix posting two five-year contracts for turnkey Emergency Responder Radio Coverage Systems (ERRCS) employing distributed antenna systems and bi-directional amplifiers to enhance 700 MHz public safety radio coverage in municipal buildings and airports. Work under the code includes preliminary RF coverage evaluation, detailed design and installation, optimization, testing, and post-installation acceptance in compliance with NFPA 1225 and UL 2524 standards. Issuing bodies span municipal finance and procurement offices (City of Phoenix), county sheriff offices (County of Santa Clara), and state information resources departments (Texas Department of Information Resources). The Texas DIR procurement is structured as an indefinite-quantity, multiple-award contract for cellular, wireless, pager, and satellite voice and data services statewide, available to all state agencies on a cooperative basis.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona and Texas, with secondary activity in California. The City of Phoenix Finance Central Procurement posted IFB-26-0148 due April 30, 2026, and subsequently IFB260355 (revision) due July 10, 2026, both for five-year in-building RF coverage contracts commencing mid-2026, each requiring offerors to demonstrate a minimum of three years of turnkey ERRCS experience, hold NICET certifications, and employ an Arizona-licensed professional engineer. The Texas Department of Information Resources issued a bid due July 23, 2026, for the TEX-AN-WPS cooperative contract covering pager services alongside cellular, wireless, and satellite offerings, with evaluation weighting experience and past performance at 45 percent. The County of Santa Clara RFQ for Motorola Radios and Accessories, due June 17, 2026, represents the narrower pager-equipment interpretation of the code but supplies limited scope detail. Sourcewell, acting as a Minnesota local government unit on behalf of participating Washington counties and other jurisdictions, posted RFP #061626 for Law Enforcement Equipment due June 16, 2026, structured as a cooperative framework available to thousands of public entities nationwide, though the available documentation does not specify which equipment categories or pager-specific requirements the solicitation addresses.
