UNSPSC 43221720: Automotive antennas

Automotive antennas are also called power antennas as they automatically rise when the radio is turned on and lower when it is shut off. Some cars had the antenna wires imbedded in the windshield.

UNSPSC 43221720 Automotive antennas is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure replacement antennas, antenna assemblies, and antenna-integrated communication and positioning systems for fleet vehicles, public safety radio networks, emergency responder infrastructure, and tower-mounted RF systems. Recent solicitations reveal a split between transactional equipment purchases (antenna replacement for marine vessels, aviation radio systems, Motorola radio accessories) and integrated service contracts (antenna installation and maintenance on radio towers, in-building RF coverage systems, vehicle camera and navigation platforms). The issuing bodies span school districts, county sheriff's offices, city procurement departments, state public safety agencies, and regional transit authorities. Florida and California jurisdictions show sustained activity, joined by activity in Texas, Oregon, Wisconsin, Georgia, and Illinois.
