UNSPSC 43222631: Wireless fidelity base stations Wifi

The base station, with an Ethernet RJ-45 port, can be connected to the Internet via digital subscriber line (DSL) or cable modem. This commodity includes a base station that connects a wireless system to a wired land-based system. Wireless access points are connected to an Ethernet hub or server and transmit a radio frequency over an area of several hundred to a thousand feet which can penetrate walls and other non-metal barriers. The central radio transmitter/receiver that maintains communications with mobile radiotelephone sets within a wireless cell.

802.11, or IEEE 092.11, is a type of radio technology used for wireless local area networks (WLANS). Wi-Fi, 802.11 is composed of several standards operating in different radio frequencies.

UNSPSC 43222631 Wireless fidelity base stations WiFi is a Commodity code covering the procurement of WiFi access points, network switches, wireless licenses, and associated infrastructure components that state and local governments buy to support facility connectivity, emergency communications, and network upgrades. Recent solicitations show state and local buyers acquiring WiFi 7 equipment packages (including Cisco and Meraki hardware with management licenses and support contracts), in-building radio frequency coverage systems using distributed antenna systems and bi-directional amplifiers for emergency responder communications, and general electronic equipment including wireless devices alongside non-wireless items on consolidated purchasing vehicles. Issuing bodies span school districts (Northside Independent School District in San Antonio), cities (Phoenix, Orange County Florida, St. Marys Georgia), counties (Santa Clara, Orange County, Chatham County), state departments (Illinois Department of Human Services), and cooperative purchasing vehicles (Sourcewell on behalf of multiple Washington and Minnesota jurisdictions). The code also captures radio and accessories solicitations, though several recent opportunities under this code—such as hand-held radio procurement for detention facilities and Motorola radio quotations for county sheriffs—reflect law enforcement and public safety communications that diverge from the nominal WiFi base-station scope.

Recent activity concentrates in Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, and Illinois, with secondary posting activity in Washington state through cooperative vehicles. Representative opportunities include Orange County, Florida's WiFi 7 upgrade (ITB071020261, due July 16, 2026), soliciting 24 Cisco Wireless 9171I access points with Catalyst switches, Meraki management, and support contracts on an invitational bid basis; the City of Phoenix's in-building radio frequency coverage system (IFB-26-0355, responses due July 10, 2026), a five-year contract seeking turnkey design, installation, and optimization of distributed antenna systems and bi-directional amplifiers for emergency responder coverage across three airports with NFPA and UL compliance and NICET-certified personnel; and Northside Independent School District's electronic equipment renewal (IFB2026118, due September 24, 2026), a sealed bid solicitation replacing an expiring contract and requiring all incumbent vendors to re-compete. The Sourcewell cooperative RFP 061626 (due June 16, 2026) for law enforcement equipment represents a multi-jurisdiction contracting vehicle serving thousands of governmental agencies and public entities across the United States and Canada, though specific equipment categories within that procurement are not detailed in the posted materials.
