UNSPSC 43222700: Telegraph equipment

Equipment used in a system employing the interruption of, or change in, the polarity of DC current signaling to convey coded information

UNSPSC 43222700 Telegraph equipment is a Class code that state and local governments use to procure law enforcement communication and signaling apparatus, including radio dispatch systems, emergency alert equipment, and related transmission devices for public safety operations. The code sees activity across multiple issuing-body types, including state cooperative purchasing vehicles, county governments, and special-purpose districts. Sourcewell, a Minnesota local government unit and service cooperative, represents a significant repeat buyer vehicle that aggregates demand across multiple jurisdictions and entity types—the recent RFP for law enforcement equipment demonstrates how cooperative frameworks consolidate procurement across counties, municipalities, school districts, tribal governments, and other public entities to establish master contracting solutions available to thousands of participating organizations.

The most recent opportunity under the code originates from Sourcewell issuing RFP #061626 on May 12, 2026, with a response deadline of June 16, 2026 at 3:30 p.m. Central Time. This procurement spans multiple Washington counties including Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima, with broader participation extending throughout the United States and Canada. The solicitation seeks to establish a master contracting vehicle for law enforcement equipment available to governmental agencies, higher education institutions, K-12 school districts, nonprofit organizations, and tribal governments. Submissions are accepted exclusively through the Sourcewell Procurement Portal; no specific award values, set-asides, or incumbent vendor information is disclosed in available documentation. The cooperative structure allows selected vendors to serve a broad public sector market under standardized terms and conditions through a single framework agreement with participating addendums.
