UNSPSC 43221731: Underwater communication system

A complete set of communication equipments specially manufactured to enable the two-way communication under water.

UNSPSC 43221731 Underwater communication system is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of satellite and wireless communication infrastructure, emergency communications systems, and related network equipment — notably including low-earth orbit (LEO) satellite internet service, PA system repairs and upgrades, telecommunications cabling and wiring, and radio communications equipment across emergency management, school district, municipal, and county facilities. Recent opportunities show purchasing bodies deploying these systems to support emergency operations centers, emergency alert networks, public safety radio infrastructure, school building communications, and airport traffic control tower systems. State and local governments acquire both the hardware (terminals, speakers, cabling, radios, control systems) and the managed services (installation, configuration, maintenance, support) under this code, with contracting structured variously as firm-fixed-price service agreements, time-and-materials maintenance contracts, blanket purchase orders, and cooperative purchasing vehicles.

Issuing bodies under this code span state emergency management divisions (Washington Military Department), county sheriff and corrections departments (Orange County Sheriff-Coroner, Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology), cities and municipal governments (City of Doral, Peachtree City Airport Authority, City of Midland), school districts (Comstock Public Schools, Northside Independent School District, Fairfax County Public Schools), counties (Santa Clara County), and state procurement agencies acting as cooperative purchasing hubs (Texas Department of Information Resources, Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology). Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas, California, Georgia, Michigan, Illinois, Washington, and Florida. Representative recent solicitations include the Washington Military Department's RFP for LEO satellite internet and hardware supporting emergency alert broadcast and emergency operations (response due December 3, 2026); the City of Doral's ITB 2026-22 for telecommunications wiring services across data, video, and voice networks (response due September 28, 2026); Comstock Public Schools' RFP for PA system repairs and speaker installation across four district buildings (response due October 5, 2026); and the Texas Department of Information Resources' cooperative master contract for cabling services and related products serving statewide public entities (response due September 24, 2026).
