UNSPSC 43221749: Cellular equipment

A telecommunication device that uses radio waves over a networked area (cells) and is served through a cell site or base station at a fixed location, enabling calls to transmit wirelessly over a wide range, to a fixed landline or via the Internet.

UNSPSC 43221749 Cellular equipment is a Commodity code tracking state and local procurement of satellite internet terminals, radio systems, telecommunications cabling and related hardware, and associated installation and maintenance services. State and local buyers under this code are purchasing equipment and services to support emergency communications networks, law enforcement radio systems, school district public address and telecommunications infrastructure, airport air traffic control systems, and continuity-of-operations satellite connectivity. The issuing bodies span state emergency management divisions, county sheriffs' offices, city information technology departments, independent school districts, airport authorities, and state health and human services agencies. Work being solicited includes Low Earth Orbit satellite internet service with pole-mounted terminals and associated hardware (Washington Military Department, RFP27014, due December 3, 2026); telecommunications cabling installation, termination, and MAC services across multiple network types (City of Doral, ITB 2026-22; Northside Independent School District San Antonio, RFP2026079); public address system repairs and speaker installation in school buildings (Comstock Public Schools Michigan, RFP due October 5, 2026); and non-VOIP telephone system maintenance across state locations (Illinois Department of Innovation and Technology, IFB B-52287, due August 20, 2026).

Geographic activity spans Washington State (satellite internet for emergency operations), Texas (multiple school districts and state health agencies procuring cabling and telecom parts), Michigan (school district PA systems), Illinois (statewide telephone system maintenance), Florida (county satellite communications and city surplus radio sales), Georgia (airport air traffic control tower communications), and California (county sheriff radio equipment). Recent opportunities cluster heavily in Texas and Illinois with indefinite-quantity or cooperative purchasing vehicles: the Texas Department of Information Resources issued a master cooperative cabling contract (COOP2026SOL-00008, due September 24, 2026) serving state agencies and local governments statewide with $11–12 million in annual historical utilization; DIR also solicited a four-year Texas Agency Network wireless and satellite services contract (DIRCPOTXA610, due July 23, 2026) as an indefinite-quantity multiple-award vehicle. Sourcewell, a Minnesota cooperative, issued a multi-state law enforcement equipment RFP (061626, due June 16, 2026) available to public entities across the United States and Canada. School districts and emergency management agencies appear as recurring buyers, with capital-equipment purchases and ongoing maintenance contracts dominating the opportunity stream.
