UNSPSC 43221747: UHF transmitters and associated equipment

A UHF transmitter sends radio communication signals to a remote receiver. The signal often travels along with a carrier frequency, which is picked up by the receiving unit's antenna. These transmitters can be made very small, sometimes possessing built-in microphones, antennas, and batteries.

UNSPSC 43221747 UHF transmitters and associated equipment (Commodity) covers emergency communications infrastructure, satellite ground terminals, and public safety radio systems that state and local governments actually procure today. Recent solicitations show demand spanning low-earth orbit satellite internet terminals for emergency management networks, air traffic control tower communications systems, public address and PA distribution equipment, telecommunications cabling and wiring services for data and voice networks, Motorola public safety radios, legacy telephone system maintenance, and wireless pager and satellite voice-data services. The code draws purchasing across state emergency management agencies, city IT departments, county sheriffs' offices, school districts, airport authorities, and state telecommunications operations. Washington Military Department, Peachtree City Airport Authority, City of Doral, Comstock Public Schools, Northside Independent School District (San Antonio), Santa Clara County Sheriff, Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology, and Collier County Board of Commissioners represent the mix of issuing bodies active under this commodity code in recent postings.

Activity concentrates in Texas (DIR cooperative cabling contract, NISD MAC cabling, HHSC telecom parts, City of Midland surplus radio sale, and TEX-AN wireless services), Washington (WMD satellite internet RFP), Florida (Doral wiring, Collier County satellite phones), Georgia (Peachtree City airport tower communications), Michigan (Comstock Public Schools PA system), Illinois (non-VOIP telephone maintenance), and California (Santa Clara County Motorola radios). The Washington Military Department posted RFP27014 on October 13, 2026 (proposals due December 3, 2026) for approximately 122 low-bandwidth LEO satellite terminals plus mobile and fixed-site equipment to support the All-Hazard Alert Broadcast siren network and emergency operations continuity, with a pre-bid conference on October 21, 2026; the Texas Department of Information Resources issued COOP2026SOL-00008 (due September 24, 2026) for a master cooperative cabling services contract showing $12.0 million in FY 2025 historical volume across data, fiber, and copper systems; and the Peachtree City Airport Authority posted an RFB (due September 17, 2026) for FAA-compliant air traffic control tower communications and weather systems integrating VHF transmitters, ATIS transmitters, voice recorders, and antennas.
